That's one hardcore automated wash! Anthony, you may catch hell for this, you know?
 
Wow that truck came out looking good. Still, to get all that grime off the chemicals used must have been harsh- can't be good for the finish for long term use.

One thing I like is the spot free rinse. I think all car washes should have these. I see so many rental cars, washed by the rental company at an automated carwash like this and never dried so full of water spots. A simple spot free rinse at the end would make a huge difference.
 
I bet this would strip off any LSP.

This very neat. I wonder what opperating cost are like, or even building one

Job security :props:
 
That's much easier than 2 Guy's standing outside in that weather with a couple of Power washers. Nice find!:xyxthumbs:

6000 gallons per minute! Better make sure all the windows are up. Wonder how they reclaim the water. Can you imagine cleaning out the reclaim pit. Sounds like a Dirty Jobs episode! Interesting exhaust covers.
 
I like the mittens or caps over the exhaust pipes. I've washed many a truck growing up and one of the worst things is cranking it up after the wash and have black sute blow back over the cab. Never seen these. Very impressive wash.
 
That is pretty cool. I used to work at an airport and they had a similar bus wash (but not as intensive as this wash) that worked pretty well. But this is definitely more efficient in cleaning large areas.

Do you think there was wax on the tractor. I think most truck drivers dont wax there trucks. Maybe they will polish the chrome.

Oh, if only I could afford something like this!

Except for thinking about the "cleaning of the reclaim pit" (uugghh) that rzatch referred to, this would be ideal for my better-half's Saturday's ritual. :D

Nothing like that would ever be approved out here in Cali. 6000gal/min and that would be the end of discussion.
 
This one really hits the rims:
