-NOTICE. This is not my video. I Am uploading it under the creative commons license and I give the videographer full credit. This video complies with the Terms of use-
Anyway, This is a very rare late sherman tunnel, most likely built right before they merged with Hanna Industries.
Please feel free to ask questions as I am very well informed with the history of Hanna Industries and Sherman Inc.

Confirms what I have heard about the HDM-3...and answers my questions about 80's Sherman systems. Very impressive.

[@Jay-fb2lv]

We have a local car wash that used to have the exact same system. It was built in the 90’s.

[@DriftHyena]

I noticed a belanger arch right after the last mitter

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

WOAH. I didn’t even notice that HydroTube arch there! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@Tbolt1000TForLife]

the first mitter is a model 1554 dynamitter, i used to work at a car wash that had the same mitter(from 1984), sadly that car wash has since closed and the mitter has been dismantled, sherman also made a mitter a diagonal front to back motion(very unusual for a front to back mitter curtain, but at the same time very cool and unique!!!), i do not know the model number of that one sadly, if anyone does, please reply!!!. 80's sherman equipment is my favorite when it comes to car wash equipment!!!!!!

[@MichiganCarWashes]

Is there anywhere I could find sherman manuals?

[@Tbolt1000TForLife]

@@MichiganCarWashes I don't know but I myself would like to know.

[@MichiganCarWashes]

I think it may be a model 1553 dynamitter for the diagonal 2 basket one. I asked a carwash page on facebook that was verified to have sherman and they sent me a pic of the nameplate yesterday. At least that's what I could make out of the stamped on numbers.

Melbourne, Australia used to use Sherman Tunnel Wash systems at Shell Car Spas at Shell Station outlets in Melbourne but they were mostly replaced in 2005 by WashTec Softcare Junos under the Shell Coles Express ownership.

[@art2daG2002]

There's one wash facility in the Carrollton/North Dallas area (north of the Addison Airport) that used to have a Sherman equipment. Now, it got rebranded, renovated, and replaced with Sonny's equipment. The Sherman package is pretty much smaller than this with a standard contouring blowers.

[@MichiganCarWashes]

Did it also have some exotic rinse arch that titled and went up and down? I've got a memory of a car wash near that area in the mid-late 00's and I recall barely being able to see the mitters and wraps from the lobby window. I hope that wasn't it :(

[@MichiganCarWashes]

Was it checker flag car wash? That place was rebranded at some point in late 00's very early 10's as midway auto center according to google street view.

[@art2daG2002]

@@MichiganCarWashes No, I was talking about Crestview Corners on the southwest corner of midway & trinity mills. While the shopping center changed its name to bent tree plaza, the car wash got its name changed to in & out, and then take 5 express. When they were crestview, I believe they have a Sherman equipment, although the mitters were more straight rather than wavy.

[@MichiganCarWashes]

@@art2daG2002 Ah, ok. I got it mixed up then.

[@SkyvatorProductions]

We had a Sherman Car Wash in El Paso, but it got replaced with a lame Vector Rapid Wash :( But it looked exactly like that, with the dryers and everything.

[@carwashconnoisseur7216]

Is the Master Car Wash that used to have the Sherman Tunnel Car Wash system is on the street view?

[@ThecarwashchannelofnorthernPA]

for how old the system is it looks like its in really good shape

[@zmanifest]

Yes! Very impressive unlike this one here! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aofdZmigoqephbs

[@brendanhancock]

That's Amazing

[@carwashconnoisseur7216]

This car wash equipment has been replaced by a new car wash equipment on October 2018.

[@andrewasbra5996]

NO

The Car Wash /Elevator Fanatic He's not mad at James, he's mad at the fact that the Sherman equipment is gone.

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

[@UnitedStatesCarWashReviews26]

Do you know where this was at?

[@SFCarWashChannel]

I just found one of these in my area at an Arco gas station.

[@sunshinesuds]

+SF Car Wash Channel really??? it would be great if you filmed it!!!!

[@SFCarWashChannel]

+Car Wash Studios I will film it as soon as possible. Do you know if Sherman made a mitter with a side-to-side trapezoidal motion?

[@carwashconnoisseur7216]

+SF Car Wash Channel Does the Sherman Tunnel car wash still has the dryer?

[@jasonsczynski2412]

Mia's car wash in Wyandotte Michigan had Sherman equipment.

[@carwashconnoisseur7216]

But is it still there?

[@jasonsczynski2412]

James Chong no it closed but the equipment is still in the building.

[@jasonsczynski2412]

James Chong yes it's still there

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

Jason Sczynski Actually, that car wash has since reopened! It’s now called Castle Car Wash and it now has Motor City Wash Works equipment.

[@blazebrodypc2006official]

Nice video. But why is there music?

[@RockinReed97]

Yeah, it makes it sound surreal.

[@PalmPeakMarketing]

Where is the wash at?

[@sapphirebluegabe]

What type of wraps are those and what sizes did they come in

[@carwashconnoisseur7216]

Are there anymore Sherman Tunnel Wash systems in the US?

[@sunshinesuds]

I have no clue.

[@danlc95]

James Chong One in Livonia, Mi. One in Farmington Hills, MI - Carousel Car Wash. It's on Eight Mile, somewhere east of Halstead Rd.

[@carwashconnoisseur7216]

But which car wash centers other than in Michigan still uses 1980's Sherman Tunnel Car Wash systems there? Btw, is the Sherman Tunnel Car Wash system used at Ryan Road Car Wash in Warren still around?

[@CrestwoodRocks]

Maybe East Main Soft and Foamy Car Wash in Ravenna OH

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

James Chong Concord car wash in concord MA has a Sherman/Hanna/PECO tunnel. Perfection Car Wash in Watertown also has a Sherman tunnel!

[@tommiej3]

Wow where is this - definitely an early to mid 80s Sherman rack!

[@sunshinesuds]

No clue, I found this video and re-uploaded it... Its super cool though! I've only seen the 1950's futuristic looking Shermans.

[@randywilliams2436]

tommiej3 Car Wash Studios I actually went here today! It's the Ryan Road Car Wash located at 29720 Ryan Rd, Warren MI 48092. This car wash is just outside Detroit and also has self serve bays on the property.

[@DeLuxeCarwashchannel]

so basicly this is a Hanna Sherman tunnel

[@sunshinesuds]

No. This equipment was built by Sherman Corp. the company that merged with Hanna. It was built before the merging in 1993.

Oh ok

Hey guys, if you're on Facebook, please feel free to participate in the Car Wash Fans page. Feel free to post pictures, and share stories. I'm really looking for insight on old tunnel technology, but also enjoy the new cutting edge stuff. I am a former tunner car wash owner, and still have ties to veterans in the Metro Detroit car wash industry. I migh be doing interviews with old was owners, distributors, and I'm right down the road from Peco in Auburn Hills - literall my hometown! So please stop by. Nothing to sell, just good old car wash discussions!
