Where do these lines go from the serenoid valves

I am replacing these and bought this car wash with a lot of hoses cut. Can anyone tell me where these lines go? I'm new to this figured out everything but this system for relocating these lines
 
Are you saying all 15 solenoid valves are connected to the air compressor? I'm guessing the two sets on the right are for foam brush. One inlet line should go to a pump of some type and the other set is for air injection to make it foam.
 
I have a 4 bay car wash,
First row down is Presoak/ tire cleaner
Middle is wax
Right is HP Soap
All pumps are hooked up to the stainless steel soap bins the.
I just bought this car wash last guy has these cut I need to know where the lines hook up too in the picture
 
It's a simple question. I need advice on where these lines go. The small lines on the solenoid valves I'm not asking what I need. I'm asking where do these lines go

I am stumped - no idea why toy would have what appears to be 3 product manifolds (Also from your explanation) with 5 solenoids each which would be needed for 5 different locations - 5 bays if you have a 4 bay wash. Any chance there was a "Bay" on an outside end wall at one time?
 
Use to be a outside bay or looks like. Top one that says bay out was it. I broke down and just ordered air logic systems from kleen rite.
- so when I put them in the HP Soap runs off them the left old solenoid valves still. What should I do with thoses how should my HP Soap and wax set up be?
New air logic systems for the low pressure stuff coming but not know what to do with the High pressure stuff like was and high pressure soap because I can't run them through air logic I'm guessing

Your high pressure chemicals should be plumbed to your cat pumps with solenoid valves to allow the selected chemical to be drawn by the pump.
 
The cut lines appear to be the lines out to the bays. They typically would send air or product out to each Bay through some sort of a trough (Usually found in an attic or on the roof. At a point before they drop down into the bay they typically have a tee where the product and air are mixed together. If they are running to a foaming brush of some sort then they will feed the brush directly. If they are feeding a wand then they will tee into the high pressure line before dropping down in the bay. At a minimum there would need to be a check valve on the tee into the high pressure to protect the low pressure lines.

You can follow the 2 red hoses and black black hose to find out what they are being fed, that will tell you if they go to a brush or the wand.
 
Wow. That is very rough looking.

Those lines are most likely the lines that delivery chemical/air to the bays for your low pressure chemicals. Attached is a basic self serve flow diagram.

I'm also curious about the high pressure like with what appears to be an unloader zip tied to the wall and the frame of that stand that looks like it may collapse at any moment.
