As Thailand’s car wash market continues to expand, Shinewash proudly introduces a customized tunnel car wash system that sets a new standard for efficiency, flexibility, and customer experience. This advanced system can wash up to four vehicles at the same time, with each vehicle able to choose its preferred wash mode independently. It’s not just a car wash—it’s a complete car care center, combining washing and vacuuming with a fully customized site layout tailored to the client’s business needs. A Breakthrough in Tunnel Car Wash Design Traditional tunnel car washes often serve one vehicle at a time, leading to waiting queues during busy hours. The Shinewash customized system breaks that limitation. By using parallel washing lanes, synchronized control systems, and intelligent sensors, the setup allows four vehicles to enter and wash simultaneously, each with its own washing program—touchless, soft brush, or hybrid. This innovative approach not only doubles washing capacity but also reduces customer waiting time by over 60%, creating a more efficient and profitable operation for business owners. Independent Wash Modes for Every Vehicle In this Thai installation, each washing lane is equipped with an independent control panel, allowing drivers to freely select wash modes such as: Standard Wash...

How Much Is Car Washing Equipment? The cost of car washing equipment depends on the type of system you choose. Entry-level mobile car wash units start as low as $2,000–$25,000, making them suitable for small businesses or mobile services. A self-service car wash bay typically ranges from $8,000–$45,000 each, while in-bay automatic car wash machines can cost $30,000–$200,000+ depending on features and automation. For high-volume operations, tunnel car wash systems represent the largest investment, with prices from $250,000–$600,000+ but capable of processing over 100 cars per hour. When budgeting, it’s important to consider not only the purchase price but also installation, water recycling systems, and ongoing maintenance.

What Is an Undercarriage Wash and Why Is It Important? A car wash with undercarriage wash, also known as an under body wash, is a specialized car wash feature designed to clean the underside of a vehicle. This area is often overlooked in regular washes but is critical for long-term vehicle maintenance. The undercarriage is exposed to road salt, mud, grime, and other corrosive materials—especially in winter or off-road conditions. Over time, these substances can lead to rust, corrosion, and damage to important components like the exhaust system, suspension, and brake lines. Including an undercarriage car wash as part of your car cleaning routine helps protect the vehicle’s structural integrity and resale value. It’s an essential service for drivers who live in snowy or coastal areas, or frequently drive on dirty or gravel roads. When Do You Need an Underbody Wash? You don’t always need an undercarriage wash with every car wash, but certain conditions make it essential. After driving on salted winter roads, an underbody wash is highly recommended to remove corrosive salt that can accelerate rust. Similarly, if you’ve been off-roading or driving through muddy, sandy, or gravel-covered terrain, debris can collect underneath your vehicle and cause long-term damage....
