BRAND NEW WashWorld Razor EDGE with SpectraRay at Car Wash Express in Pooler, Georgia
I got to film a BRAND NEW WashWorld Razor EDGE system, and this car wash comes with a lot of extra features! This location got the SpectraRay package, which includes 4,528 LEDs in the wash bay which give a very pleasing addition of color to the wash operation!
This location did a very good installation of this new wash, which EXCELLENT applications of chemicals on every pass, with no shortage of presoak at all! This is how a touch free system should be calibrated, but for as good of a show as it gave, $18 is still a steep price for a touchless wash!

Older Istobal M12+ Rollover Car Wash at Enmarket Car Wash in Pooler, Georgia
Переглядів 418Місяць тому
I think this may be the oldest Istobal system I've come across before, I actually like the overall layout and design of this wash better than the newer Istobal washes I've seen in Georgia. Overall, this is a perfectly acceptable Istobal setup, very typical performance for a 3-brush rollover system. I've never been a particular fan of 3-brush systems (I just don't think they do a good job of get...
HIDDEN Laserwash G5 with RARE Onboard MAXAIR Dryers at Spin'N'Span Car Wash in Hardeeville, SC
Переглядів 5222 місяці тому
This HIDDEN Laserwash G5 can't be found on any maps because of the name of the car wash! Because of automated content filtering, every map service deletes this car wash location from their databases because of the name of the car wash. Isn't technology great? These Laserwash G5 systems are getting really, really hard to find, it was by pure luck that I happened upon this one while driving down ...
TERRIBLE WashWorld Razor Touch Free Car Wash at Circle K in Diamondhead, Mississippi
Переглядів 4763 місяці тому
Wow, this Wash World Razor is NOT doing well! The problems start from the very first pass, there is absolutely zero presoak coming out of the nozzles on either of the presoak passes, it's just misting some water! On top of that, the tri-foam polish is just totally inoperable. The positioning optics on the system must also be broken, because the wash travels the entire length of the track instea...
AWFUL Ryko Select-A-Wash with Thrust Pro Dryers at Daly's Car Wash in Jacksonville, Florida
Переглядів 9754 місяці тому
This Ryko Select-A-Wash is located at 10910 Baymeadows Road. Wow this Ryko needs some love! Right when I pulled in, the top left sprayer just went crazy and the bottom right blaster didn't even move. Chemical application was terrible, and the rinsing was just as weak! Tri-foam could barely make it on to the roof of my car, and I have a really short car! I think the only thing that is working pr...
This Car Wash Can't Make Up It's Mind! - PDQ LaserWash 360+ at Laser Brite Car Wash in Orlando, FL
Переглядів 9355 місяців тому
This LaserWash 360 Plus seems to be having some virtual treadle issues! I'm not exactly sure what causes this behavior, but I seem to run in to it on rare occasions with PDQ systems. I don't think I come across this issue on other car washes that have virtual treadle options, but it may just be a maintenance issue. The wash packages at this car wash are rather odd, the price chart seems to impl...
Future Millennium, LaserWash G5, and a Istobal M'Nex 22 - Finding a Working Carwash in Brunswick, GA
Переглядів 6316 місяців тому
Brunswick, Georgia has some very interesting car washes according to Google maps, but when I made my trip out there, I found that most of them were non-functional! I came across a few different candidates that I would love to see operational, but sadly there were none. This car wash was supposed to have a LaserWash 4000, which are very rare to find these days, but sadly it has been replaced wit...
Ryko SoftGloss XS 2 with Onboard Dryers at Daily's Car Wash in Palm Coast, Florida
Переглядів 9147 місяців тому
This Ryko SoftGloss XS 2 down in Florida is in need of some TLC from a service technician. It's got the right spirit, but it is in need of some pretty moderate repairs. Rocker panel blasters are not working correctly, anemic rear brushes need calibration or pneumatic repairs, wheel scrubbers are non-functional, and dryer dampers are not working. All of that being said, I think the wash still ma...
[Revisit] PDQ ProTouch Tandem at H-E-B Fuel in The Woodlands, Texas
Переглядів 8808 місяців тому
I'm back at this PDQ ProTouch Tandem that I filmed the grand opening of back in 2020. This wash appears to have held up well for its first 3 years of service! While the $14 price tag for the top wash is still high, the wash seems to give a long wash time for the price. PDQ Tandem units usually seem to do a good job, and I love the flash dry system that they offer! H-E-B Fuel Soft Touch Car Wash...
BRAND NEW Ryko Soft Gloss MAXX 5 Car Wash at Shell Timewise #236 in The Woodlands, Texas
Переглядів 1,1 тис.9 місяців тому
This is a BRAND NEW SoftGloss MAXX 5 that replaces a PDQ Laserwash 4000 system that lived here, which itself replaced a self-serve mini-tunnel system. Although I'm very sad to see a Laserwash 4000 go away, this MAXX 5 at least seems to do a good job. The wash cycle is very quick, and while chemical application was very good, it could have done with a little longer of a rinse cycle. No on-board ...
Washworld Razor Touchless Car Wash at Ducky's Car Wash in Jacksonville, Flordia
Переглядів 64110 місяців тому
This very well maintained Washworld Razor system is located at 702 New Berlin Road. This machine does a fantastic job, it is very well maintained by the owner and has good application of chemicals to the car! I've always been a fan of the Laserwash 4000, and the Washworld Razor is essentially a clone with a couple of hardware and software upgrades to lower wash time. The price of $9 is an excel...
[Revisit] Ryko SoftGloss XS 1 at Shell Timewise #204 in The Woodlands, Texas
Переглядів 63811 місяців тому
I decided to revisit the Ryko SoftGloss XS 1 located at 10500 Gosling Rd. This unit has been retrofitted with the "Lava Falls" wax system and now also has Ceramic KN-85 sealant. I purchased their top wash for $14, which is a $2 increase over the last time I visited. This unit does feature on-board dryers, which is always a big plus in my books. Not much has changed since the last time I visited...
[Revisit] Autec AES-425 Soft Touch Car Wash at Shell Timewise #248 in The Woodlands, Texas
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
I decided to stop by and check on this Autec wash that everyone liked! They have changed up the chemicals since the last time I visited. Now they are using KN-85 ceramic sealant instead of ICE Instant Shine sealant and FIRE Foamer Carnauba wax. They also raised the price of the top wash from $12 to $14. Let me know how you think this wash setup compares to the old wash setup! 248 - Timewise Foo...
Ryko SoftGloss MAXX 5 Car Wash at Shell Red Hills Market in Tallahassee, Flordia
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Рік тому
On a recent trip, I came across a Ryko MAXX 5 with onboard dryers, so I had to take some extra time to film a video! These washes always seem to do a good job, but they are very rare in the state of Georgia for some reason. However, I still experience the classic Ryko problem that the rear windows don't get get cleaned in the corners. The angle of the rear brushes and the length of the brushes ...
Belanger Vector Rapid Wash Touch Free Car Wash at Car Wash Express in Midway, Georgia
Переглядів 702Рік тому
This is my first time coming across a Vector Rapid Wash system! I've always found it odd how these systems have two arms, but switch from arm to arm instead of just having two pumps. $12 seemed pretty reasonable for the performance that this wash gave, although I've never been to any other so I have nothing to compare my experience to. These seem to be pretty uncommon systems in all of the area...

UPDATE as of 2024. i just checked this street view and this machine recently replaced to ryko softgloss maxx 5
I love how this High Velocity is refurbished with Razor running gear (LumenArch and Power Tower wheel blasters), that looks nice.
I think this is the first ever softgloss xs 1 I have seen equipped with the color wave option. Aside from the dryer fins not working, this machine is in fantastic shape. Great video.
would like to see more conveyor car washes
I can film some more tunnel car washes, I'll add some to my upload schedule
Did a good job im surprised this one didn't have the elephant side blowers or how they have the center dryer setup like some places do also im very pissed off Belanger even the lawsuit about wash having led on the arm Belanger made them permanently discontinued it anyway great video
Got a Washworld Razor EDGE about 10 miles from me, it can do two wash cycles in one pass.
The only 3 Brush system ive come across that can clean a vehicle 100% is a WashWorld Profile
I just remembered that I do have good luck with PDQ Tandems, but I don't really consider them to be a traditional 3-brush system
I can tell this is an M12+. Nice rare combo of wash and dryers! Its very rare to see modern Tommy/AVW Dryers with an in-bay.
Just checked the street view and it's showing 2 months ago. it's still there but I don't know if it's still there now it could be
Oh dear lord 😭
I believe it was a Ryko Softgloss before it was converted into a Washworld Razor.
It looks like an Istobal M12+. Great find!!!
Probably the first time I saw a 3-brush IBA start out with brushes, even though presoak was applied at the same time.
Yeah I don't think I'm the biggest fan of that, dry brushes on paint doesn't sit well with me
@CarWashClassics It was distributing presoak before the brushes started.
There's another Enmarket Gas Station in Statesboro, GA that also has an Istobal Car Wash if you would mind visiting. And those dryers sould really old.
North Charleston Car Wash is now Permanently closed :(
There are quickly becoming really rare now. I haven't been able to find one for a few years now.
Rotating overhead nozzles. Never seen that before on a Laserwash
The pumping unit is beginning to pulsate, that's why it has that "rotating nozzle" effect going on.
Looks line no trifoam and not so muxh soap
Did you drive all the way to Mississippi from Georgia?
Yes! I went on a long road trip and filmed a few washes along the way.
They must be using watered down products.
Either watered down, or the chemical barrels were empty/clogged.
How much was the wash?
The wash I purchased was $15
@@CarWashClassics What a Huge Rip off.
Wow. This is terrible! You expect this from a Ryko Pulse but not a Washworld Razor. Owners needs to be a shame of themselves since they operated this car wash in the shape as it is currently running.
Nice to see you in the central part of Florida! I'm around close to Orlando.
Are there any interesting washes in the Orlando area you would suggest? I'll be back in that area later this year.
@@CarWashClassics So sorry for the late reply! I mean, if you like modern IBAs that’s pretty much it… I’ve lived here for years and we used to have a lot older systems like Laserwashes, older Ryko, and some other unique systems, but most have been modernized, demolished, or built into tunnels. Very few OG systems still exist here.
To be honest It did a not bad job and for me it is kinda worth for $10 but it need work though ASAP.
The Ryko Select-A-Wash is where you can choose between Soft Touch or Touchless It's just like a Mark VII Choicewash XT, but in this case you didn't have a choice because the $10 wash you paid for comes in Soft Touch. So is this Gas Station located near I-95?
Yeah, this one is near I-95. Are there any physical differences between a Select-A-Wash and a Choicewash, or is it just a different software configuration? I'm not too familiar with this generation of Ryko.
@@CarWashClassics Ryko Select a Wash has 5 brushes and Choice Wash was 3 brushes
Glad you filmed a select a Wash but it sad that this isn’t taken care of. The only Ryko Select a Wash I ever went through (it has been replaced years ago sadly) was always in great shape and everything always worked properly. It’s a shame that other gas stations with a Select a Wash don’t take care of them properly. Ryko Select a Wash is my favorite system of all time!
This wash is terrible, I used to live in downtown Orlando and went here all the time. The owner is cheap and none of the functions work right.
It was hard to find on Google Maps, did it finally go out of business?
Wow all the chemical applications were horrible except the water pressure was so great.
0:50 lol this thing is glitchy! XD
the newer 360s don't have the better quality that the older ones had
Yeah, that's a problem I notice with these newer PDQ/OPW systems, they're not really built to last.
I've filmed 2 surflines that were pretty bad and a newer 360 that was also pretty bad, never had issues with the earlier 360s.
UPDATE as of 2024: I Went by and This Machine has been Replaced to Softgloss MAXX 5 With LED LIghts
Totally cool car wash 😊
PLEASE revisit the laserwash experience!
I will revisit it if I can remember where it was!
how did it do love and commet please
Dang sadly the two rare car washes are out of service especially the laser wash experience G5 is abandoned 😢.
It is very unfortunate! I don't think the G5 will ever be repaired, but maybe there is hope for the Millennium?
Yeah, there’s no way that the laser wash G5 is going to get repaired unless they put a new wash arm on it and fix this thing really really well. but for the Futra, there is a high possibility 90% chance this thing is going to definitely get repaired.
Sound like 99% of my car wash sprees lol. Not one have I not ran into a broken wash.
What is the address of the Futura Millennium?
I can't figure out what the address is! It has been so long since I recorded that footage, I had forgotten that I filmed it. I recently came across the files on my hard drive, and realized I had not posted them. Unfortunately I can not recall where that specific wash was!
@@CarWashClassics I had a feeling that was the case. When I found the G5 location, it has been replaced.
@@UnitedStatesCarWashChannel26 What has the G5 location been replaced with? A new car wash, or a different building?
@@CarWashClassics D&S IQ SoftTouch.
Wonderful video, great music choice!
Thank you!
Nice video! This bay used to have a Laserwash 4000, the next time you come down to Brunswick, I suggest you film that D&S IQ at Nip's Car Wash.
Looks like it went out of commission last year. Seems to be another softgloss maxx or maxx 5 taking its place. The bay is blocked with plywood, but you can see all new red colored body panels on the inside on Google Maps.
2023 Update: This car wash has been replaced with a new system. Not sure what it is as the wash bay was boarded up
can you come back to this car wash and do the right side?
Yeah, I think I can stop by there some time in the next month or two!
@@CarWashClassics cool thanks
Note, this system is the only touch free car wash in HEB. But unfortunately, they actually removed the system and replace it with a tandem Surfline.
This thing looks like needs help the sprayers down the bottom and the wheel scrubber on the right looks bent but overall it did a good job
cool Video
Thank you very much!
Is this Gas Station located near Interstate 95?
Yes, it's along the interstate
