RARE Nu-Star Soft Touch Plus Friction Curtain - Galleria Car Wash, Memphis TN

[@m.r.newton]

3 things 1: Congratulations on 100 car wash videos! 2: Sunshine was an AUTEC AES-425 3: You are the FIRST ONE to find a Nustar Soft Touch mitter!

[@TheElevatorChannel]

1. Thanks! 2. Yeah, I was disappointed it was broken. Would have been only my second Autec. And I've driven by quite a few times since this was taken (I'm down here on business; have to pass it on my way to work every day) and it's still in the same condition. My guess is that it's been broken for a long time and the owner has no intention of fixing it. 3. Awesome! That explains why I couldn't find any photos/videos anywhere. As a side note - the Memphis suburbs are LOADED with Nu-Star Soft Touch Plus systems, but this is the only one I've seen with a friction curtain.

the 2nd car wash could be a ryko

@@TheElevatorChannel Hey, I love your video of this rare system! If you would like to see another one of these systems, I have found one with a blue mitter and on-board dryers!

[@SFCarWashChannel]

I have been looking for a video of one of these for quite awhile. NuStar machines are quite rare, and the variant with the mitter is one of the rarest machines that is currently in production.

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Glad you enjoyed! Suburban Memphis seems to be loaded with Nu-Star equipment for some reason.

[@davidzheng9484]

SF Car Wash Channel did he drive all the way to Tennessee in his own car?

[@mrm10199]

David Zheng Yes he did. Memphis is only a 3 hour drive away from St. Louis

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Mitchell Myers I did drive my own car, but it's more like a 5 hour drive.

[@TheElevatorChannel]

David Zheng Yeah, drove my own car since I'll be down here for a while. It's about 5 hours from STL.

[@22408aaron]

There is an Istobal carwash in Fredericksburg that appears to be very rare. The same car wash had an Oasis Typhoon, but the bay was converted to a car shop.

[@pinchy08]

Congratulations on your 100th Car Wash video. I'm creating a Car Wash playlist. We have cool Car Washes in Jacksonville FL.

[@noahharris2260]

I don’t know if the other guy was able to pull into the car wash after you were done

[@gladfan1989]

Congrats on #100. And what a way to celebrate. Was wondering if that mitter curtain ever stopped twirling.

[@MTTech]

gladfan1989 Legend says the mitter curtain is still twirling.

[@kingcarwashnfansdrivesetc8364]

Um, I just found a second one today. I know some of you may think i'm lying, but a video will be up soon.

[@superlu1gi527]

No these arent rare, these are RARE AS HELL! There's only about 60 of them.

@@inactivechannel7029 for a car wash? nah thats pretty rare...

[@inactivechannel7029]

@@chaoszombie9995 If you think that’s rare, go visit a Storm Touchless. There are only 3 of them in the world. One in Colorado, one in Wyoming, and one in my hometown.

[@kingcarwashnfansdrivesetc8364]

If these are that rare, how did I manage to get one of these with a blue curtain and with on-board dryers? Not clickbait, check it out!

[@kingcarwashnfansdrivesetc8364]

And then how did I get it a second time with the older gantry, and also on-board dryers?

[@gradymcclintock3766]

At least you got something different for 100

[@justin_wayne_elrod_jrod]

Could you do a revisit and do the other bay and also great video by the way

[@thecarwashesandmorechannel2892]

This is a NU STAR CURTAIN DROP.

[@sharonnelson1345]

Congrats! I'm not really into car washes, but I find your videos so soothing. I was wondering, what camera do you use?

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Thanks! For car washes, I use a GoPro Hero4 Session as the dash cam and a Sony CX430V handheld.

[@G-zero07]

You should check out the buckeye car wash on Ontario Ohio it’s awesome well was when it opened last year it’s quality definitely went down in the past year but the color of the soap and there’s a projection that projects onto your windshield and the lights that show it’s like rebirth man you have to check it out lol there’s soap waterfalls and everything

[@CrestwoodRocks]

I prefer Ryko than Nu-Star. I seen some Nu-Star used Ryko accesories before

[@Nolonger-q8f]

1:08 were you able to go to that car wash another time?

I never seen a system that rare

[@DylBuilder1]

Ah I see you've been here also

[@blazesoccerbro1943]

@@DylBuilder1 yep lol

[@Liftmaster-sw2zy]

I'm going to take a wild guess here, and say, when the person behind you put in their money, it confused the system, reset it, and was getting ready for them. Just a guess

[@andrewasbra5996]

nu stars and autecs are the only inbay car wash systems to have mitters

[@TheTechnologymachinery]

washworld radiantz also had mitters and it is in-bay

[@TheSonic1685]

Oh the first one was an Autec car wash. Didn't know they had those where you lived. I thought they were all down in Texas.

[@prestonstevens2411]

[@aidanfranits1339]

What kind of wash was the first one (at the Shell station)?

[@kaikono1146]

Autec Aes - 425

[@carwashconnoisseur7216]

It's Nu-Star Soft Touch Plus Friction Curtain

[@samdooley3013]

You should do the longest tunnel wash in the world I think it's in Indiana

Now it’s at a Buc-ee’s.

what i requested my be your 132th and 133th carwash

[@BSiskaAviation]

Congrats on 100! Im waiting for the next trip report! Soon you will get to 100 of those too!

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Thanks! Should have another trip report up in about 2 weeks.

[@BSiskaAviation]

The Elevator Channel annual trip to Mexico? Or Business?

[@TheElevatorChannel]

This one's a domestic trip to a familiar destination. But it's at night, and involves 2 very cool aircraft. You a McDonnell Douglas fan? :) I have quite a few other trips, business and personal, backlogged after that. I try to release one every month or 2. Not sure if I'm going to bother filming the annual Ixtapa trip early next year. I've done it many times. Only difference this year is that United upguaged STL-IAH and IAH-ZIH to E175s instead of ERJ-145s.

[@BSiskaAviation]

The Elevator Channel im more of a Bombardier fan since im canadian and so are they. MD is neat too. I Would like to see the Ixtapa trip since you've only filmed 1 trip on the E175. Maybe try going to Cancun. Im going in november

[@TheElevatorChannel]

YYJPilot 6590 Can't say I'm a huge fan of the CRJ series, but I love the Dash 8 family and can't wait to experience the CS-100 when Delta (and hopefully other US carriers) start getting them. Also, I actually have 2 reports now (Burbank and St Maarten) that feature E175s, and one of my upcoming reports will too. If I do Ixtapa, I'll probably film in the ZIH-STL direction this time.

Reviset the first car wash 🧽

[@rachelsmith590]

i bet it will be broken if you revisit it MAY or MAY NOT be out of service ad i bet it has the same 5000 at JTs

[@gradymcclintock3766]

He should do a revisit to see if it's there still

[@MAR_24LookedAtYourVid]

the machine did not have tire scrubers

[@disneyfan9099]

Too bad that you could not film that 1st system you found

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Yeah. I'm still in the area and keep checking it when I drive by, but no luck. My guess would be that it hasn't worked in a long time, and the owner has no intention of fixing it. There are actually a lot of closed car washes around here. Mostly at gas stations.

[@disneyfan9099]

***** That's sad. Are you in the area on Business? Hotel review soon?

[@thischanneldoesntgetusedoften]

This is not a Soft Touch Plus, but Nu Star for whatever reason calls this “Soft Touch”

[@kendall8500]

Have you been to pigeon forge yet

[@gradymcclintock3766]

I bet this and dns are made by the same company

[@josephgregorowicz5135]

you pull out while it says stop and now it say back up and enter.
