RARE Nu-Star Soft Touch Plus Friction Curtain - Galleria Car Wash, Memphis TN

  • It's hard to believe, but this is car wash video #100! And I just so happened to accidentally stumble on a really rare car wash to celebrate the occasion! Not only is this the first Nu-Star system I've found, but it's the almost unheard of variant with a bizarre mitter curtain instead of a top brush. I looked around everywhere for a video or even a photo of one of these and came up empty. Thankfully SF Car Wash Channel and Car Wash Studios were able to identify it (thanks again, guys!). It was a very unique system and definitely one of the most fun ones I've come across in quite some time. To make things more interesting, the wash appeared to malfunction at the end of the cycle, meaning I had to leave while the stop light was still illuminated.
    Thanks so much for sticking with me though 100 car wash videos. (And for some of my long-time viewers, almost 1500 other videos too!).

    3 things
    1: Congratulations on 100 car wash videos!
    2: Sunshine was an AUTEC AES-425
    3: You are the FIRST ONE to find a Nustar Soft Touch mitter!

    • @TheElevatorChannel
      @TheElevatorChannel  7 років тому +9

      1. Thanks!
      2. Yeah, I was disappointed it was broken. Would have been only my second Autec. And I've driven by quite a few times since this was taken (I'm down here on business; have to pass it on my way to work every day) and it's still in the same condition. My guess is that it's been broken for a long time and the owner has no intention of fixing it.
      3. Awesome! That explains why I couldn't find any photos/videos anywhere. As a side note - the Memphis suburbs are LOADED with Nu-Star Soft Touch Plus systems, but this is the only one I've seen with a friction curtain.

    I have been looking for a video of one of these for quite awhile. NuStar machines are quite rare, and the variant with the mitter is one of the rarest machines that is currently in production.

      @TheElevatorChannel  7 років тому

      This one's a domestic trip to a familiar destination. But it's at night, and involves 2 very cool aircraft. You a McDonnell Douglas fan? :) I have quite a few other trips, business and personal, backlogged after that. I try to release one every month or 2.
      Not sure if I'm going to bother filming the annual Ixtapa trip early next year. I've done it many times. Only difference this year is that United upguaged STL-IAH and IAH-ZIH to E175s instead of ERJ-145s.

    • @BSiskaAviation

      YYJPilot 6590 Can't say I'm a huge fan of the CRJ series, but I love the Dash 8 family and can't wait to experience the CS-100 when Delta (and hopefully other US carriers) start getting them. Also, I actually have 2 reports now (Burbank and St Maarten) that feature E175s, and one of my upcoming reports will too. If I do Ixtapa, I'll probably film in the ZIH-STL direction this time.
