Best smell ever! Lol

This thing was significant to me as I’ve gone through it most of my life. I like the new system better though. Just sucks that the dryers got replaced with the new motor ones.

I remember seeing that video when you uploaded it. Little did I know that was the future of Mark VII dryers.

Smells awesome too

Or maybe I'm wrong

That’s not what happened. It happens as I go through the dryers.

Ah ok I was just wondering 🤔

The previous system here was a 1st gen SoftWash XT. It was my first Mark VII as well as my first car wash with brushes. I was glad they kept the original dryers when it got replaced. But now I’m disappointed that they replaced some of the blowers with the new quieter ones. They don’t sound as awesome now and seem less powerful. But it could’ve been worse. At least they didn’t replace the entire thing.

At least they didn’t replace the whole thing entirely like they did in the other bay. This place is kind of sentimental to me as I’ve been coming here since it opened when I was about 6. Thankfully there’s something half original still here.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

It wasn’t either. Just looked on YT to see if it was. If you look more to the side of it, it had a big wide nozzle on top. Whatever it was, it had to be extremely rare.

It seems difficult for automatic car washes in general to get wheel wells cleaned. I wouldn’t complain about the results you got.

@@jacobs956 The only reason for that complaint is that a tunnel nearby always cleans out the wheel wells unless the attendant is spraying them out with the presoak wand.

Thank you!

There isn’t. Just touch free or soft touch. Would be cool if there was a combo wash though.

@@jacobs956 yeah, that is true for circle k, it says only soft touch but it has touch free a bit basically.

it has combination wash in ultimate after premium(choice wash)@@jacobs956

I believe Mark VII introduced the new dryer motors in around mid 2022, which is why some have either the old or new dryer motors. When KT replaces their car washes, I guess the dryers get replaced too depending on the condition they’re in. They seem to keep the original dryers if they’re in good shape to save money. The other bay at this wash thankfully still has the original dryers from the old system. The old ones that were in this bay didn’t seem to age as well as the other bay. My best guess is because the dryers are exposed to the fog coming from the high pressure cycles from the wash system, and the moisture wears them out. The other bay had a SoftWash XT with no real high pressure cycle, so the dryers were exposed to way less fog. If you watch my videos of the other bay, you’ll notice the dryers there sound better than the old ones that were in this bay, and they don’t look as worn.

Ok I get it but just still can’t believe that they would make new motors for what we’re in my opinion the best dryers ever because how about IN THE WINTER when it gets cold out and all of your car doors freeze because of these new motors being so weak than the old motors.

I’ll miss them too because they were around since I was little and going through them was one of my favorite memories growing up. This one was the last remaining one here in Sheboygan. Now it’s gone. I like the new systems more though. The LED lights make it a more fun experience and the newer top brush seems gentler than the older one. I just don’t care for the new dryers. Thankfully Broadway Avenue, the newest location from about a year ago has the older style dryers. And at North Avenue they kept the original dryers in one bay when it got replaced.

Well that’s good no I like the led light Mark Vll choicewash systems a lot but just hate the dryers.

Thanks! Where is the wash located? I don’t think I can film it if it’s far away. I also don’t have lots of free time since I work a full time job.

@@jacobs956 no worries it’s near shawno Wisconsin. I understand if you can’t I am getting a new system installed soon

New system was recently installed at Kwik Trip in Mequon.

?

?

I don’t like them either. The older dryers were like music to my ears. But based on my experience with the new dryers, I didn’t notice much of a decrease in drying performance, if at all.

I don’t either. The old dryer motors were like music to my ears. At least drying performance doesn’t seem to be reduced that much, if at all.

This could be an older model. The other bay has the regular label and was probably another manual bay back then. Pulling in you can see where there was probably a pay station on the wall. If that’s the case, they had to have made the bay longer when they converted it to automatic.

Lol. I don’t have that van anymore (thankfully). It wasn’t actually the wiper, it was some rubber piece that flew up.

Lol. I’d love to see that.

Lol

Thanks!

Maybe that’s just bad luck! Lol. This is actually a Belanger tunnel. It seemed to do ok, but wasn’t worth $25.

very few car washes are actually worth 25 bucks

Yeah. I’ll have to do a retake because of how badly this video turned out. Lol. That would be another $25.

?

Thanks! The North Ave location I also filmed used to have an older SoftWash XT and AquaJet XT. I found that an AquaJet XT is actually pretty rare to see at a Kwik Trip. Unfortunately I didn’t get to film the SoftWash, but I got the AquaJet just a couple months before it got replaced with a newer ChoiceWash just like this one. They also replaced the dryers in the former AquaJet bay with the new quiet ones, but thankfully they kept the original dryers in the former SoftWash bay. I noticed that all the older Mark VII dryers sound the same, but have a very small difference to their sound. The ones in the former SoftWash bay are probably the best sounding Mark VII dryers ever. It’s like music to my ears!

Actually another kwik trip that me and my grandpa used to go (mainly during covid) had a soft wash mark vll and the other bay had that exact same aqua jet xt too! Now I can tell that they got those new red doors which I really like but…

I will do the other bay after I do my next video.

@@jacobs956 when is your next video

I’ll be back to try the other bay. It has different dryers than this one, so we’ll see how that one does.

They are! I had a lot of fun when I first filmed one of these. Lol. I wasn’t expecting those lights.

If they do replace it, I’m pretty sure they’ll put in the exact same system. Broadway still makes these machines to this day.

​@@jacobs956 I can see why, they're reliable and last forever. Cleaning performance similar to a SoftGloss but with a cheaper price!

I’m glad someone likes my narrations. Lol. I still film the washes silent so you can hear the sounds of the car wash.

Theres no triple foam. I’ll film the soft touch bay eventually!

I will eventually!

I think it did. It was hard to see from the fog. The Rain X was right before the spot free rinse.

Your welcome!

I’ve never been here at night, but it does look cool driving by. I can do another revisit at night if you’d like. Lol. Those lights were added on a couple years ago. It wasn’t like this when I went here in my childhood.

@@jacobs956 please do

Thanks!
