Hello All,

We are looking to replace our old Aquajet 300 touchless car wash system with new touchless car wash system. Can someone please suggest good recommendation/suggestions on which touchless system is best as of today from cost/reliable/maintenance/support.

Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing everyone.

AquaJet 300’s are old. If you liked it and are happy with how it performed and lasted, check out the current Mark VII AquaJet machines first.

Basically, there are gantry machines, and inverted L /overhead bridge machines. You might want to decide which direction you want to go in first, and then narrow it down from there. Also consider what distributors are close to you - 1-2 hours max would be ideal.

As mentioned above, unless you work on EVERYTHING yourself you better find a distributor/ tech who is close. It will make a huge difference in your down time

Look at Petit. Top performing and TOP quality machine. They're not cheap though

How is Petit compared to pdq laserwash or kondor kl1 or Oasis??.
Any suggestions

I would wait a few weeks until after the ICA show. Manufacturers always roll out the new equipment and features at the show. See if there is anything new on the market first.

petiti is expensive and I would say is best suited for a location with potential for high volume. If you are considering a membership program that would be a good one to look at.

I have fifteen year old water wizards and will put them up against any unit on the market as far as cleaning, but they are slow and factory customer support is lacking. A lot of folks seem to gravitate towards washworld.

Any reason not to consider friction? Touchless has it's niche when there are a lot of tunnels but friction just cleans without a lot of fuss, and can be stingy on water if so programmed. I've got istobals that cleans as well or better than a tunnel.
