Would anyone have a video of the MCWW Dry N Shine going through it's self cleaning process ?
Can't seem to find anything on youtube.
Does it do a good job at self cleaning ?
I won't be offering wheel gloss at my wash but if there's silicone on the tires ( from pass washes elsewhere ) will it affect the low parts of the
drying cloth over time ?
Thanks in advance
I was considering some type of dry and shine machine but had the same concerns as you do. Tire dressing is never 100% gone until it wears off. Especially if it is oil based. Even if your wash is not applying it, cars will come in with residue on the tire and that will make it to your
drying unit.
There is also the inside of fender wells, wheel recesses, around mud flaps and the lowest part of the rockers that can still have some dirt or film on them- even with the best friction equipment, high pressure and solutions - it’s just the nature of those low areas. Couple all of this together and the lowest few feet of cloth will get soiled and most likely transfer it to another car.
I was thinking maybe a Mitter type unit, but that would be harder to dry out and you’d have to deal with retracting it for the cars that don’t get the service. The other option was just a top wheel - and ignore the sides. Or, get a set of side wheels that are higher off the ground - like 2 - 2.5 feet of clearance . But with all the larger cars these days, you’d still be getting into those areas I mentioned.
I’m currently no longer considering one of these units since I have not found a satisfactory solution.
Let us know what you come up with.
