Tunnel car wash systems vary in design, but they all share 5 common factors for effective car cleaning.
How a tunnel car wash works: From operations to cleaning factors
The first precursor of the modern tunnel car wash business began with an automatic conveyor car wash that used workers to soap and dry the vehicles. A year later, the first hands-free automatic car wash business started using machines to do the work. Since then, technological advancements such as foam brushes, soft cloth applicators, and modern touchless car washes have made tunnel car wash systems more efficient and less abrasive for vehicle paintwork.
