Car Wash Technology

Our Cleaning Equipment

The cleaning equipment used at CarWash808 Express is the best in the industry offering incredible results for your car, truck, van or SUV. With an innovative round arch design, your car receives a more accurate surface cleaning due to the arch’s circumference.

As you enter CarWash808 Express, you’ll see our concierge, who will help guide you with hand signals, and align your vehicles tires onto the transporter belt. The transporter belt will catch and guide all four tires of the vehicle simultaneously, and once instructed, you’ll shift your vehicle into neutral.

Then, the fun starts! As you and your vehicle go through the wash, signs under each arch let you know exactly what step of the wash your vehicle is in. We begin with our non-acidic, non-corrosive, and non-caustic shampoos and cleaning agents. Manufactured to the highest standards, our shampoo and cleaning agents are scientifically formulated and are often used by top automakers as pre-delivery preparation for their new vehicles.

At the end of the tunnel, as you pass under the turbo air dry blowers, you’ll want to watch the “traffic light.”  When yellow, prepare to place your vehicle into “drive”, when green place your vehicle in “drive” and exit the carwash tunnel.
