Proud to work at one. Love learning how to do maintenance and the engineering aspect of them

They featured Sonny's The Carwash Factory in this episode?!

[timmoore]

Anyone know where I can find the rest of the episode??

Good video, but I felt it was only half the story. What about how the mechanisms work as a car goes through the car wash?

[danijelradenkovic]

Helo people,
Which software is used to create these beautiful assembly animations for "HOW THEY WORK"?
Any information is very appreciated.

Regards
Danijel

I was rear ended in a 1 car at a time car wash somehow today, so it's nice to know that the conveyor belts are only 1 direction.

[MusicLuv]

Is there a chance to miss that belt for the wheel when it goes inside the car wash machine?

I've been driving for years and only used a car wash once.

[darrylcthemaster]

To everybody saying they much rather wash it themselves. Are you gonna do it In 10 degree weather? Are you gonna do it after a snow to get rid of all the roadsalt? If not then I am gonna continue making a profit in my sonnys tunnel

Better than the human hands. I’ve yet to find one to clean the outside of my Jeep Wrangler JL.

[slhines]

Those type of car washes tend to scratch the paint :(

[chinesesparrows]

Well seeing how there are specialized car cleaners for expensive supercars, hand washing is still the best and most through method

[AlexGarcia-lgqh]

Lol I build these for a living its not as complicated as it seems lol

[slapshot]

Way better than cleaning the car urself
