Hoffman Car Wash - Wynantskill - New LaserWash

New LaserWash installed today, April 21, 2010

Laserwash is about the best system out there.

[@douro20]

The new controller uses sonar sensors on the arch to guide the arm around the vehicle, constantly adjusting its position so that it always sprays toward the vehicle and not away from it. This alone has saved more than 30 percent in water usage.

[@douro20]

@tender1340 Many of the control parameters are dynamic; the system knows how much water is flowing through it, the temperature of the water, the temperature of the bay, the length and width of the vehicle and how the vehicle is positioned in the bay. It uses all of these parameters to optimize the wash cycle.

[@douro20]

@araflygare It bears some resemblance, being an overhead with a single robotic spray arch, but this is where the similarities end. The system was completely re-engineered; nearly everything in this wash system is new, including the most advanced control system ever developed for an automatic car wash.

How much was the new laserwsh to have installed, is it better than the old Laserwash 4000? What do you charge per wash at you local?

[@justin_wayne_elrod_jrod]

Did a great job nice job and very cool

[@douro20]

Did you disable the voice prompts?

[@douro20]

Before the second presoak pass it pauses for a moment; at this time it is performing a chemical change.

[@douro20]

If that is an A8, the car costs almost as much as the wash system itself.

@carwashpdq CAnt you tell? "sistem" is spelled system.

[@jakethecake1000]

How much of that is hot water? Look like I could see steam esp from the entry of the car wash and the soaps.

[@TomHoffmanJr]

The presoak solutions are applied with 120 degree softened hot water.

[@jakethecake1000]

So what about the wash, is that hot water as well? What about when the car comes in the door? Seems like a very fast spray. I suspect the rince must be cold water, is that correct?

[@TomHoffmanJr]

Step 1: hot soft water presoak, step 2: hot soft water presoak, high pressure rinsing: cold soft water, final rinsing is purified (reverse osmosis) low pressure cold water.

[@jakethecake1000]

Tom Hoffman Jr. Definitely uncomfortable on the human body...:-)) I am still trying to figure out of the water used is hot or cold, when the car drives in the car wash. So when is step 1? For curiosity, Is it as the car drives in the car wash or under the wash/rinse contraption? This seems like a good car wash.

[@518Adventures]

I prefer the self service bays, best car wash got under $5

[@TomHoffmanJr]

You are 100% correct.
