Tunnel Carwashing

Today’s conveyor carwashing environment includes much more than traditional full-service carwash facilities. Express exterior carwashes and even short-conveyor, in-bay automatic conversion sites have become common in the tunnel carwashing landscape. Tunnel conveyors include a host of carwash equipment and arches to wash, wax and clean vehicles. Options include friction carwash equipment, touchless or touch-free equipment, and hybrid equipment solutions. From presoak and triple foam to tire shine and dryers, the carwash tunnel is a modern engineering marvel.
