ODD Smelly Question

[RocketWash]

I tried doing some googling to no avail. Our garage alwlays smells after we run our car through the wash. We have had customers ask about it. Is there advice or a trick to avoiding the garage smell? It doesnt matter winter summer it just always does. Sometimes we let our vehicle ai dry outside and it greatly reduces it but never fully goes away. Any advice? car wash adjustments? Garage chamges????

side note we use no reclaim water

When I park in my garage after I go through my tunnel, I get the scent of my final sealer or drying agent that is applied. What scent are you getting after your wash?

It’s not a good smell at all. I don’t know how to describe it. Maybe like a dirty carwash in the summer with all those bugs smelling it up. We use diamond shine weather guard as our final chem. It had a pleasant smell and it’s certainly not there after a wash. I was wondering if our chemicals maybe out of balance or I need a better/different drying agent. It’s on a polish injector and there is an open drying agent injector.
Our water is softened and the final pass is R/O. The mech room smells like our cherry triple foams.

That is odd. Do you smell the foul smell anywhere in the wash or is it only on the car itself? Are you getting a good rinse? Maybe residual wash water that has not been flushed out of the various drainage tracts around the bottom of the windshield where the wipers rest, or in the door jambs? Some cars have cabin filters that get smelly after damp rainy weather. Do you smell the odor inside the car too?

Do you have a different car that you can wash and put in your garage in the same way?
