I see this company is advertising here on the forum. It looks a lot like the X-Stream IBA.

Blastoff Automatic Touchless Car Wash.

Blastoff Touchless Car Wash is the top performing automatic touchless car wash with an on-board wheel cleaning system coupled with extremely powerful wheel and rocker blasters.

Anyone ever see one?

It is the new version of the X-Stream by the original creator, Don Rennie, who decided to get back into the business recently after selling off the X-Stream company in 2015.
When I spoke with Don a few months back, one of the changes was that the arms are now orientated at 30 degrees instead of 45, though the recent promotional material keeps jumping between the two.

Hi Rodj,
Just like to confirm your post 100%. The 30 degree angle is coming on the machines in Jan. Plus, we added plenty of other goodies like an awesome in-bay LED light package. Be upgrading the videos within a few weeks. FYI, this time I partnered up with Will McClanahan who is known by some of you here. With our 60 years combined experience, we are eager to serve. Thanks for your post and hopefully this provides some clarity for others. Don Rennie
 
Check them out at the car wash show in Nashville in May. They had a booth there 2 years ago, would think they will have 1 again.

I don't think they are trying to reinvent the wheel exactly, they built an IBA using mainly off the shelf parts without using proprietary parts. Eliminating distributors, bringing down overall lifetime cost of the machine.

I know nothing about the machines or the guy who built them , but I gotta tell ya having a machine w no proprietary parts is very enticing. Would love to speak w any operators of this IBA
 
I had one of his 1st machines, the X-Stream, and ran it for several years. Installed and sold a few. He sold that version to a friend of mine from Iowa. I know he got back into the business with the Blast off, but know nothing as far as if he is still building machines.

What is your personal opinion of the machine? How many are in tx.
 
To be clear, I have no affiliation and don't have one of these machines. But I was intrigued by their machines and no proprietary parts at the car wash show. Would be interesting to know what kind of support or service is available. I know not everyone fixes all their own equipment, including us
 
I do own a Blastoff. If anyone is interested in my personal experience with this machine and/or this company, feel free to message me.
