This is late 1970s-early 1980s car wash technology at its... strangest?? These machines used to be EVERYWHERE throughout the Miami area. Many were later replaced with Laserwash 4000, Ryko Voyager, Ryko Softgloss, or some really obscure brand machines (ever heard of Turbo-Brush or Slant Systems? PLEASE, someone must be.. I can't have just IMAGINED those...?)Yes, those top rear side brushes do nothing on a car of this shape and size. On some larger cars with windows closer to vertical, they provide a streaky sort of wash coverage.The foam bath really helps this machine's cleaning action. I think this machine is using Ryko Action Shine, which is a STRONG yet gentle detergent! Dilution ratio to achieve a good foam bath is in the range of 200:1...!Many R7B's just washed with water, or a really dilute soap.As an added bonus, this machine neatly pinwheel-brushed some creepy guy in the face when he proceeded to walk into the bay and try to knock on my car's window. He was continually harassing me while I was there, offering his detailing service. Yeah, way to creep out a potential customer, dude. FILAMENT TO THE FACE!! I chose not to give him the pleasure of showing up on the video; he was off on the right side around where the machine first spins up the side brushes. Yes, it does start in the middle; all R7B's do that. It also runs the side brushes while waxing. Ryko R7B Car Wash

A car wash meets the Katamari Damacy OST!... The brushes weren't worn out. They were just kinda stuck together with algae. This has since been resolved.Also, the tiny square of land immediately beside this car wash is apparently a county park! Weird... Katamari Car Wash
Ryko Ultraclean ... still going... these last forever. Years of goo and humidity have stained it a bit.This is 1970s car wash technology at work here, if I am not mistaken. The machine's been upgraded a few times over the years with some various new hardware. Yes, America can't build good cars, but we can build good machines to keep them clean with. Go figure.

I think this was a Ryko US2001 overhead wash. There wasn't enough LEFT OF IT for me to visually identify it. Sorry about that.This is what you get when you combine a car wash and... I don't even know what. It looks like someone tried to drive a VERY LARGE truck through it. You fools, you need an R168 or Atlantis for that!No, it did not remove the bird poop from my car. I then had to use a high pressure self service wash to remove WAXED bird poop. Failure.I officially double dog dare the local techs to make sense of this thing. I certainly could... :) Ryko US2001 Epic...

Warning: Harsh language.COMPLETELY worn out brushes? Check.No maintenance ever? Check.Reclaim system error (17)? Check.This wash actually damaged my car - the rear wash arm's roller burned the gelcoat off the fiberglass rear-view mirror casting on the right side, and burned a vertical mark into the rear bumper's passenger side corner. Interestingly, an identical mark was on the driver's side when I got the car --- now I know what that oddly shaped mark was from...Please, guys, shut this thing down. Now.The commentary was the result of being on the phone with Mason, head of R&D at Ryko. Introducing the...
[slugbug] If you keep making all of those car wash videos they are going to make you an honorary germanThis machine was operating perfectly when I used it, and left me with a totally clean car. Yay.It's one of the very few machines that can actually wash a hatchback without leaving drooly bits of crap on the rear glass. Ryko US 2001...

I'm gonna claim this was an experimental film to look all pretentious and stuff!... no, I'm not.I dunno if anyone else particularly does, but I find car washes really interesting. I was kinda glad my car got covered in muck tonight so I'd have the need to use one.In case anyone wonders, the wash is probably a Ryko Softgloss series.I was going to record the whole process, but my camera took a crashing dive to the car floor as soon as the front wheels hit the ramps(?) on the car wash's floor for the under-car wash, which was mysteriously disused. Car wash!

This is hereby a PDQ-Free Zone. Things actually get CLEAN here.Mobil station, University Drive and... something, Sunrise, FL.A Tri-Foam clog on the right side prevented the tri-foam wax from working as intended, but it got my car perfectly clean. PDQ can take their Laserwash and go clean their arses with it. :) Ryko US2001
