Hello, I'm looking to add an exit rinse arch. I want to have a drying agent product and then a spot free rinse 12-18" after. What brands of arches provide the most bang for buck as far as quality and appearance. I want to spend less than $2k, $3k at the most.

You can make your own pretty cheaply using sch 80 pvc. Just drill some holes in 1" and get a pipe tap for either 1/4" or 1/8" whichever you choose and get some stainless nozzles about 40 or 60 degree with a fan spray. The last one I built I suspended it with bungee cords as I knew it was going to get hit. My total cost was probably under $200. $100 hundred if you're a good scrounger.

If you are doing drying agent and spot free, and you have a drive through blower, I’d suggest rain arches - they set the car up for drying better. You can still choose to buy it or make your own. These can be suspended from above anyway and might have a 45° bend at each end or are halo shaped so that they “rain” on the sides of the car as well. You can have a set of struts carrying 2-3 rain bars. Suspend them from above and you don’t need the legs Don’t forget to disable these options on your machine so you don’t waste time and product.
Here is an example of one.
