Zhengzhou, China – 2025/5/19 – Zhengzhou Shinewash Technology Co., Ltd. has successfully shipped its advanced Q11 11-Brush Tunnel Car Wash System to a customer in Tanzania.
Known for its high efficiency, low water consumption, and automated performance, the Q11 tunnel car wash machine is designed specifically for regions like Africa where dust, water scarcity, and labor costs present unique challenges.
This delivery marks another milestone in Shinewash’s growing presence in African markets, following the successful installation of Q-series machines in countries like Rwanda and Liberia. With up to 80% water savings and the ability to clean 300–500 vehicles per day, the Q11 Tunnel Car Wash Solution is rapidly becoming the preferred choice for professional car wash operators across the continent.
One of the standout features of the Q11 system is its use of 11 EVA foam brushes. These soft, flexible brushes are engineered to clean effectively without damaging vehicle paint — a critical factor in dust-prone regions like Tanzania, where sand and fine particles can easily cause micro-scratches during manual washes.
This makes the system ideal for all types of vehicles, including luxury cars, SUVs, and used vehicles, which are common in Tanzania and require gentle yet effective cleaning.
Water scarcity is a serious concern in many parts of Tanzania, especially during the dry season. Traditional car washes can use 200–300 liters per vehicle, wasting valuable resources and increasing operational costs.
In contrast, the Q11 system uses only 80 liters per vehicle, thanks to its integrated water recycling system. By filtering and reusing up to 70% of the water, car wash operators can reduce utility bills and minimize environmental impact — a major advantage in regions with strict water usage regulations.
Whether located in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, or Dodoma, busy car wash locations require high processing speed to maximize profits. The Q11 handles 300–500 vehicles per day, depending on configuration and traffic flow. This is double or even triple the capacity of manual or semi-automatic systems.
More throughput means shorter wait times, happier customers, and significantly higher revenue potential.

The Q11 is a fully automated drive-through system, meaning the entire wash cycle — pre-soak, foam, brush scrubbing, high-pressure rinse, wax, and air drying — is controlled by a PLC system with no manual input required.
This reduces reliance on skilled labor and helps minimize human error. In a country like Tanzania, where reliable labor can be difficult to find consistently, this is a huge advantage. It also allows car wash owners to operate the system with minimal staff, cutting labor costs dramatically.
Time is money. That’s why the Q11 system is shipped pre-configured and plug-and-play, reducing installation downtime. Past international projects — including installations in Malaysia, Liberia, and Rwanda — have demonstrated that Shinewash’s systems can be set up and fully operational in just a few days.
This fast deployment allows car wash owners to start generating revenue almost immediately after installation.
Shinewash’s experience in the African market is not theoretical — it’s proven. Several customers across the continent have already implemented the Q-series tunnel car wash systems with impressive results.
In 2022, a Shinewash customer in Rwanda installed the Q11 tunnel car wash machine at a high-traffic car wash location. Within 6 months, the business had achieved full return on investment (ROI) due to the system’s low operating costs, high throughput, and increased customer satisfaction.
In Liberia, a local operator installed the Q11 tunnel car wash equipmemnt and now dominates the local car wash market. With the ability to clean up to 500 vehicles per day, the business has grown rapidly, capturing more customers and outpacing competitors still using traditional wash methods.
These success stories serve as a strong reference point for Tanzanian business owners who want a proven solution for their own operations.
