Big difference in price.
Is this an anticipated high volume location- If so, I'd look harder at petit.

What size bay do you have? Washworld just announced a new Profile that is a combination Razor and Profile (called Apex Profile) so customers can select if they want Touch Free or a Soft Cloth wash experience. No idea on the details as it was just announced at the car wash show in Vegas but would check it out.

There is a video of the APEX on the WashWorld Operators group on Facebook. Petit also has a new system unveiled at ICA to wash taller vehicles now.

A petit machine does need volume to justify the cost. (All stainless hose fittings, dual arms, dual pump stands, all stainless frame/bolts etc.) I installed my first one at one of my washes about a year ago and it has over 10,000 washes. There has been no down time or parts replaced!
Petit machines have a 2 year warranty on everything, even hoses etc. It is nice to deal with a family ran business and someone that answers the phone at the factory when you need something.
While I’m the KY distributor, you can still order parts and get support direct which is also a plus. We just finished up our 5th petit install last week. I have yet to see another machine built to the quality of this machine. The petit can easily wash 200+ cars in a day which is a stretch for many others machines.

Good concept until people purchase the machine have it installed and then realize the top dryers have to be 10ft off the ground. You sacrifice a good dry for 98% of your customers just to accommodate the 2% or so of sprinter vans. Probably why there is no dryers in that photo.Petit also has a new system unveiled at ICA to wash taller vehicles now.
