Soft cloth tunnel wash, to be exact.

Sucks this wash isn't running would be nice if it was so we could see action

Nothing special about Belanger...

@@CarwashReviewsFlorida Belanger is a great company I love the Mitter frames and Gyro Wraps.

@@carwashslayer4235 I would never install mitters in any of my tunnels, and I think you really need to get out more and explore other manufacturers that are way better. I work for an express wash with SONNY's and it's pretty solid stuff, and the wash performance is pretty good.

@@CarwashReviewsFlorida I still am a diehard Belanger Fan and it started with Some Guys North Babylon which is where we took cars in the past and is still in use today

I agree, I hope someday it can be reopened with new ownership with the equipment refurbished to make it run like it's brand new again. I also hope it can be converted into a flex service car wash with at least 3 pay stations, a hand towel dry station (for employees to hand towel dry cars after every wash), full-service lanes (near the exit of the tunnel), and free self-service vacuums.

What’s up with Florida car wash buildings not having windows?

[@PalmPeakMarketing]

No idea

[@ncautowashes2889]

Could be for a few factors: natural light to reduce the amount of electricity lighting used for the overall tunnel, the climate isn’t often near freezing temperatures, or the equipment is using stainless steel frames which are able to withhold any harsh weather conditions (some of the equipment frames do look like they’ve taken a beating, but the setup has been like that for awhile and it’s probably just natural cause.)
