1. Automatic (Rollover) Machines
Our broad range of rollover car wash machines are available in various configurations from a simple low volume, 3 brush commercial machine through to a fully configures, high speed, multi-brush unit.

- Combined touchless and soft wash
- Various product applications
- High-pressure pre-wash
- Water recycling systems
2. Touchless Automatic Car Wash Machines
We offer various models of touchless machines including the overhead and gantry-style units.
Both use powerful, advanced-flow concepts and engineered spray pattern designs to offer a superior wash quality.
The touchless wash equipment is designed to apply a special car wash chemical product, followed by high-pressure, low-volume water spray, to achieve the highest quality wash finish.
The overhead configuration leaves the wash bay completely free of obstacles, enabling any type of vehicle to access it with ease and safety.
Some of the options we offer include:
- Combined onboard dryers
- Surface sealant application
- Tri-colour wax application
- Wheel and underbody wash
- Various payment terminals and activation stands
- Various wash package settings
3. Self Serve Car Washes
These are available in a number of design configurations and can be used for many applications including:
- Combined automatic and manual car wash sites
- Car detailing businesses
- Automotive dealerships
- Commercial wash sites
- Hand car wash sites
We offer various customisable options including underbody wash, outboard engine flush, dual push and button control panels, boat wash, as well as various activation and payment solutions.
4. Tunnel or Conveyor Car Washes
Conveyor or Tunnel Equipment
The conveyor wash systems offer high output for sites that require a superior quality wash finish. The reduced waiting and queuing times help increase the overall site revenue.
The conveyor-style wash systems have the capacity to wash 20 – 100 vehicles in one hour – the ideal solution for either small footprint sites with limited queuing space or areas that have higher volume peak times.
We are able to configure the tunnel systems from a basic express (10 metre single bay reload) through to a fully-loaded 45 metre wash tunnel system.
Express and Mini Tunnel Washes
Express mini tunnels can be configured for your standard wash bay length or a conversion upgrade of an existing rollover to a conveyor wash system.
The Express mini tunnels offer the solution to the higher volume car wash sites that want minimal queuing space during peak times.
The equipment is modular in design so we are able to configure and build a system that will suit all budgets.
5. Drive Through Vehicle Wash Systems
Designed specifically for automotive dealerships, fleet and rental car businesses where a simple, superior, high-volume wash is required.
This style of machine can wash up to 80 cars per hour and is fully customisable with various brush configurations and drying options.
6. Car Wash Enclosure and Canopies
Our purpose-built car wash bays are designed and manufactured by Istobal.
We offer the flexibility and convenience of a complete modular building system for the full range of automatic and self-serve vehicle wash equipment that can be adapted to suit any site-conditions and requirements.
