A new ISTOBAL M’WASH2 for Apollo Fuel in Victoria.
Apollo Fuel in Ferntree Gully, located around 40 minutes from Melbourne, is a long-term Good Sight client with a strong commitment to providing quality service to its local community.
Approximately 15 years ago, Good Sight installed a wash machine at their site. This machine delivered exceptional reliability, thousands of washes, and outstanding value over its lifetime; however, after many years of loyal service, it had finally reached end-of-life, prompting the Apollo Fuel team to explore new technology and upgrade to a modern, efficient solution.
Ferntree Gully is a family-oriented suburb where residents take pride in their vehicles. Clean cars, gentle wash care, and a premium customer experience are all expected in this high-demand market. With changing customer expectations and advancements in wash technology, Apollo Fuel needed a machine that offered superior wash quality, improved environmental efficiency, and a modern look to match their site.
The solution… A new ISTOBAL M’WASH2. A modern solution without the premium price tag.
A car washing solution chosen for performance and customer appeal.
After reviewing the available technology in today’s marketplace (and evaluating competitive options), the business owner, Peter, chose the ISTOBAL M’WASH2. He had seen it operating at several other sites and was impressed by its design, performance and overall customer experience.
Peter chose the popular Lightning Blue finish, attracted to its modern styling and ability to complement their branding while giving the site a fresh, contemporary look.
With its compact footprint and flexible dimensions of 2.3m (H) x 2.6m (W), the M’WASH2 is built to handle the diverse range of vehicles commonly seen in Ferntree Gully, including modern SUVs, sedans and family cars.
The M’WASH2’s softcloth wash materials also appealed to Peter. These materials provide a gentle yet effective clean, perfect for customers who want the safest possible wash for their vehicle’s paintwork while still expecting exceptional results.
A self-contained machine with no plant room required
One of the biggest advantages over the previous machine is the M’WASH2’s self-contained design. Unlike older systems, which required a dedicated plant room, the new machine houses all key components within its frame. This allowed Apollo Fuel to repurpose their old plant room for additional on-site storage, a bonus for any business.
Improved performance, lower running costs and a future-proof upgrade
The new M’WASH2 delivers significant improvements in water efficiency, energy consumption, chemical usage and overall operational reliability. These enhancements translate directly into lower running costs compared with older-generation equipment.
When combined with its advanced features, sleek LED lighting and modern, contemporary styling, the M’WASH2 positions the site strongly for the future and ensures it remains competitive in a demanding market.
Apollo Fuel also upgraded their payment and activation system to the latest ISTOBAL Codec Payment Terminal, replacing outdated technology with modern tap-and-go options, intuitive customer navigation and seamless site management. This upgrade has fast-tracked the operation into the newest generation of wash activation technology.
A long-term relationship built on service and support
Peter has been a Good Sight customer for many years and continues to value the support of the Melbourne sales team, customer service staff and local technician, Jayden, who installed and commissioned the new system. In Peter’s own words, he chose the M’WASH2 because:
- “I liked the design and the colour.”
- “It offers a great wash quality.”
- “The guiderails make it safer for customers.”
- “The console is really easy to use—even for someone who isn’t very technical.”
He also highlighted that the new terminal makes controlling the machine much simpler compared with the older system, giving both him and his customers a far smoother experience.
New features customers love
The M’WASH2 introduces several premium upgrade options not available on Apollo Fuel’s former machine, including:
- High-pressure wheel wash
- Rotating brushes designed for all vehicle types
- Enhanced drying performance
- Improved wash coverage and consistency
These features provide a higher-value wash package for customers and help maintain the site’s reputation as a quality car care destination in Ferntree Gully.
The result: A modern, “timeless” machine that will serve the business for many years
