Maintaining thorough lower-body and rocker panel cleaning is essential for tackling stubborn road tar, brake dust, and caked-on grime that standard wash arches often miss. The AVW car wash side washer brush provides persistent, gentle cleaning pressure directly against vehicle sides to deliver a complete shine on every pass. Built with full van-height cloth and Neoglide options, this vertical car wash brush easily reaches high-profile SUVs, vans, and low-slung passenger cars with smooth, continuous surface contact.
Designed to rotate counter to the AVW Wrap Around, the free standing side washer prevents interference while eliminating missed spots along lower vehicle body contours. Constructed from industrial-grade heavy stainless steel, it resists constant moisture and harsh chemical exposure to provide dependable performance in high-volume wash bays.
Engineered for maximum operational efficiency, this side washer unit features height-adjustable arm assemblies and shock absorber linkages that automatically adapt to varying vehicle contours. Operators can choose between energy-efficient electric motor setups and smooth hydraulic drive systems to seamlessly align with existing tunnel power infrastructure. The integrated gas shock pressure mechanism ensures consistent contact without risking damage to side mirrors or exterior trim.
Equipped with dedicated set-wetting water manifolds, the system continuously lubricates brush fibers during operation, reducing friction, preventing paint streaking, and optimizing overall wash performance. Whether installed as an independent freestanding assembly or mounted to existing vertical equipment legs, it integrates cleanly into high-speed conveyor configurations.
