BRUSHLESS chemical type vehicle-washing machines which use agitating agents have been gaining in popularity during the past few years. Pyroclense of Iver, Bucks, has advanced with the technology which produces these agents by developing machines to maximise the benefits.
Pyroclense produces three models each with variations to suit individual requirements, but basically consisting of either a vertical or horizontal frame containing a large number of high-pressure jets.
Initially, a dilute chemical solution is sprayed at about 150psi onto the vehicle where it is allowed to soak in for about 60 seconds while it activates the dirt.
This is then followed by a cold water spray at 200psi. The rinse jets are placed at 2'/in centres and operate at an angle to the vehicle, pushing the dirt ahead of them. The chemical used is of a low alkaline content which does not damage the paintwork.
