Select A Wash
Some Really Believe in
TOUCH FREE !!!
Some really Believe in
FoamBrite!!
ButWhen Given the Option of Going Both Ways---???
Everyone Gets the Best of Both Worlds!!!!
We Need a Machine That Incorporates Everything That We
Have Learned About Washing Cars Over the Past 25 Years
This is our 25th year!This is our 25th year!
Start With the Best Friction Wash Built
Start With SoftGloss XS•Make It Even Better
•Then Add Touchfree•And Make Sure That the End And Make Sure That the End Customer Is Able to Figure It Out!Customer Is Able to Figure It Out!
Be Able to Offer Every Customer:
•SoftGloss Only
•Touchfree Only
•SoftGloss and Touchfree Combination
Put the Marketing and Instructional Message
Center in Both Side Arms Where They’ll Really Be
Seen.
Make the Outside Covering As Pleasing As
Possible.
Allow for an Optional Moving Message Center in the Front Fascia That Angles Down to Facilitate Being Seen by the
Vehicle Waiting in Line. This Sign Will Also Allow for Flexible
Instructional Messages.
Add Tri Foam Detergent for
“Wash Appeal”
Create an Entrance End Image That Suggests That
the Customer Needs to Make Pre-entry Decisions
Integrate an Activation System That Will Allow, Prompt, and
Nearly Force Customers to Make Choices That They Really
Understand
Design So That Touchfree Can Stay Back From Every Vehicle and Never Be Out of Position.
Use the Ultrasonics for Everything That It Can Provide:
Tall VehiclePickup
Vehicle LengthVehicle Out of Position
Etc.
Combination Issues• Allow Touchfree and SoftGloss to
Operate Separately or at the Same Time.
• Get the Best of Both Worlds While Operating Together--design for Spatial Relationship Constraints.• Allow Optional Combination Wash Times (3-8 Minutes)
•Minimize Side Wall Requirements
•Allow Fresh Water, Reclaim, or Both
•Provide for Optional Packages•Minimize Bay Width Required
•Allow Back Room Pump Stand Options•Provide Optional Chemical Storage and Pumps for:
•Red High Foam Detergent•White High Foam Detergent•Blue High Foam Detergent•Blue High Foam Detergent•Acid•Base

Hopeful Consumer Result:
• Touchfree Only Believers Will Use It and Be As Happy As Always
• Customers Enamored With Foambrite Will Use It and Love It!
• Upscale Customers Will Pay More for the Better Cleaning As Well As Better Perceived Cleaning Provided by the Combination Wash• Finish Perfectionists Will Choose Touchfree Before Softgloss Wash and Get What They Want
Effect on Location Operators•They finally can provide “whatever type of
wash their customers suggest that they want”•For touchfree customers that complain about final film they can suggest FoamBrite or Combination.•For new customers that indicate that they don’t want anything touching their vehicle they can suggest touchfree
•For upscale customers of either persuasion they can suggest their combination wash
•For Jeep Wrangler drivers with a pipe rack on top and, a bike rack on the back and a snow plow up front they can suggest- touchfree
Effect on Corporate Buyer• Finally a “no-brainer”
• They can feel comfortable--they have it all!
• They will have no problem feeling that they have the best
• They’ll feel prepared, no matter which way the market moves. They have the right machine.
• They can be sure that they won’t miss on the “wash preference” of any particular neighborhood for which they purchased a machine. Every customer can have it their own way!
• If vehicles change- they can feel comfortable that their machine will still provide the right options!
• Revenues should be increased by providing preferred options to every customer.
