Who makes the best touchless in bay? Must have great service and last 10 plus years.

 

[Waxman]

Washworld

 

[copperglobe]

Washworld

Yep

 

[larryf]

Washworld

The best? Petit imho. More HP. More stainless. Faster. It'll cost probably 50% more than a Razor tho.

Ryko's Radius is pretty dsng good, & when on Summer sale, is the best price by far!

I agree with waxman and copperglobe....washworld!

This is an illogical way to measure how good an IBA is.

Regarding Service:
I would argue that a good IBA is one that has minimal service requirements to start...anybody can provide great service on shitty equipment. In fact, I would make a case that a manufacturer/distributor who has great service probably had to develop that "great service" because their equipment breaks all the time.

Regarding 10 years plus:
If you wash 500 cars a month on average I will bet any IBA lasts over ten years. If you wash 3500/month probably not so much...

well said good point thanks

We've got two WW 2.0's that are 14 years old, with over 150k washes on each. Still going strong, and very happy with them!

With quality equipment and decent maintenance you should be able to hit 10 years even at a high volume site. The site I'm at has 16yr+ PDQ G5 machines with 281,000 plus car count per machine and counting!

Look for a reputable manufacture with good service in your area. Was taught in school not to mix water and electricity...add some corrosive chemical to that equation and stuff will break down.
