CW 47 | touch free cycle: Istobal M'NEX 22 | Wylie Auto Wash | Wylie, TX

(8-17-22) My visit to this place was quite the adventure! First off a place with a Karcher CWP 8000 and an Istobal M'NEX is pretty wild, but it looks like the Karcher may never work again. I suspect that's due to parts either not being made for the machine or the owner unable to find parts or possibly both. I won't be surprised if it's the last known one in the entire country just rotting away because those are basically extinct like the Storm Touch Free. On the other hand after the owner came in and flagged me down and reset the machine, the wash turned out to be much better than the Flex5 except that both the high and low pressure passes seemed to have a bit too low of pressure during application. I initially chose the ultimate wash, but the owner gave me the touch free wash. I assume the soft touch wash programming would've been very similar to the Flex5, because these machines look almost identical. Now I find it kinda nice that I filmed both soft touch and touch free Istobal cycles. Finally I still wouldn't recommend coming here unless the owner is around in the case the machine goes cuckoo again.

Fantastic video Jonathan!

What the machine was doing at 2:45 is completely normal. These machines allow you to drive your car in _before_ entering the code or paying. It's very common for European machines to be able to do this.

And as an American I'm not used to this haha. We learn something new every day.
