Добавлен 18 ноя 2015
Hello, My name is Nicholas and I have been interested in car washes since I was 3-4 years old. To me, the biggest fascination with car washes has got to be the mechanical aspect of it. What makes it kind of like an adventure to me is seeing something different each time, whether it be different tunnel layouts, different chemistry, signage, and seeing what's new in different markets. Remember, it's all about the experience!
I am a Floridian, based out of the central area.
The goal for 2023 is to change the style of my channel. There's a reason all of my previous videos have been "unlisted" is my belief in wanting to try things a little differently, and see where it goes. I hope each and every one of you likes the content, and if there's something I could improve upon, please do not hesitate to let me know.

This is made by Sonny's
Now that's clean
What the heck they actually made a Mr. Clean themed car wash My life is complete
@@TheCarWashSoutherner Yes! They have a few here in Florida but they’re spread out.
Talk about double advertising! A car wash legitly advertising Mr. Clean products
That bay is dark
12 minutes of a basic tunnel wash seems excessive 😬...
@@MarinosAkakios Not all vehicles received the basic package, watch again. First vehicle wasn’t a basic.
@@CarwashReviewsFlorida I was talking about the tunnel layout, never said anything about a wash service..
@@MarinosAkakios I mean, it's much better than seeing the basic SONNY's package that's seen all throughout Florida because it's personally overused, and all the same.
@@CarwashReviewsFlorida One thing I can agree with.
Well, it's cool that it docks but the nozzles don't move
@@justin_wayne_elrod_jrod The nozzles aren’t supposed to rotate, that’s only on the G5.
@CarwashReviewsFlorida well im talking about the dryer nozzles they're supposed to move
Coleman Hannah the best equipment company 🗣️
@@southwestcarwashes Strong and sturdy, stainless steel!
For a car wash named Sweetwater, those colorful LEDs lookin sweet
@@TheCarWashSoutherner that they are!
Nice thumbnail!
How much litre water do you use on a car?
Where is it?
@@carwashconnoisseur7216 38 S Goldenrod Rd, Orlando, FL 32807 - Speedway
Im a GM at Sweetwater, If you want to come by to do a tunnel tour, let me know we would love to have you.
@@christophermoy8805 I’m off this Friday and Saturday, I would love to check it out! What store are you with?
would be awesome for halloween night!
Very cool. I can't believe Speedway still has these. How much was the wash?
Nice to see the docking dryer still works on that 4000, but those dryer motors really need some service. I can hear the sound of a slipping belt.
Holy shit it actually docks!!! Sweeettttt definitely worth the wait
@@jkelliher_24 It’s the only one I can assure you… 😂 4000s are hard to find out here, we used to have a ton a decade ago. If you do find one, it’s never guaranteed to dock, unfortunately.
@CarwashReviewsFlorida yeah the closest one to me is like 30 mins from me. It has peco blowers tho. Years ago I found one that probably docked. I haven't been able to relocate it since. A dying breed for sure.
Man, you have something squeaking in your car
@@justinlyonsPawPatrol I’m in need of motor mounts and the driver side door controls took a vacation and fell under the frame, which causes that noise. Still functional though! It’s a 2007 Toyota Matrix XR. I need to repair it soon, this baby still has more life left in her.
@@CarwashReviewsFlorida yeah you can get yourself a Toyota Highlander or 4Runner
@@justinlyonsPawPatrol I'm good on that gas bill, haha! This thing is relatively good on gas, minus the minor issues it has that can be fixed and will be fixed soon.
I haven’t seen this wash system since 10 years
You know it’s a great day when a new video of a PDQ Laserwash 4000 is uploaded! Thanks for the video!
@@jarretstroud1842 no problem my friend! Glad this one is finally back up, and it towed!
That was just maybe similar to the laser wash 360
Awesome system and video! Hope you are safe from the hurricane.
Nice video!
Oh for a second I thought these had the docking dryers still working. I heard that the docking dryers can be set up by the operator to dock during slow times and operate as a standalone during the busier times. Good job. Ps I found an abandoned laserwash 4000 in the middle of the desert at a Dinaco gas station and self serve car wash. Sad because it has the access entry system from pdq which I only seen on the G5s and newer
The majority of the 4000s that used to exist here were all LaserWind and did dock, but after a few years stopped working due to the magnetic mechanism, and or they disabled it. There happens to be one unit still around with all of its equipment inbay, but is currently broken or switched off. That video is coming soon, and a few years ago it docked, so if it's ever operable again, I hope it docks and it'll be the ONLY one to do so.
@CarwashReviewsFlorida ah I would love to see one that still works to this day. I'm guessing that feature breaks alot which is why the concept of docking dryers were not carried on into future pdq products. I mean they're kinda nonsensical because it makes more sense to just have them mounted on board if an operator wanted it that way. Looking forward to seeing that footage
Glad to see a laserwash 4000 still in operation. The one in Cuba Mo (i grew up with) was replaced in 2011 with a 360. And then the whole gas station got remodel between 2015-2016 and their brand new car was is a ProTouch Tandem. I don’t know what happened to the 360 after it was torn down.
Here in central Florida, only two of these exist and they're about a half-hour drive apart from each other, followed by a third that may or may not be working two hours away. This is actually the only working one at the moment, but everything else here is just modern boring stuff for the most part unless you really take a drive, lol!
Ah nothing like a good ol XS. Well done
Right? Crazy thing is, this was my childhood way back in elementary, some odd years ago... Life really flys right by, and here I am an adult, haha! This is a true gem still running strong, and stands the test of time!
@@CarwashReviewsFloridaThe one near me was recently replaced with an Istobal Flex 5
@jarretstroud1842 istobals are the new top choice in my area next to Softgloss MAXX 5. Tbh I'm not the hugest fan of them but they do a fine job if they get taken care of
@@CarwashReviewsFlorida i'm from california. Ryko was the dominating choice of IBA systems locally. Istabol is a rising star in my area now.
@@jkelliher_24 Istobals are good for owners looking to utitlize less chemical. They're fairly cheap to maintain, and thus the fact they don't use a whole lot of chemicals.
All the swirls in your paint for only $42/mth. Sign me up
Automatic washes use foam material that does not degrade, or retain any sand, dirt, or debris within them. Hope this helps!
@@CarwashReviewsFloridaDrop a website link with valid evidence that supports your statement, and then we’ll see if that’s true 😂. I don’t want to hear any “oh I heard this from this guy” bs
@@MarinosAkakios Hon, I’ve worked in this industry for years and still do as someone in management. I don’t just “take people’s word”. 😂 I would think I would know a thing or two about my equipment.
My hometown of Orlando, FL and the brushes are Orlando Magic colors as well!!
i wish there was one for humans
We bought squeakys now a waters
@@ThomasDallavalle You a manger or higher up at the site? I live close to it. Always wanted to check out the equipment room and tunnel if possible. I’ve worked four years in the industry so I’m familiar with equipment and safety.
Love the triple wrap system! They need to ditch the pendulums under the second top brush and replace with rockers though, makes maintenance easier and gets some side polishing in.
Oh, boy, no dry buff top brush... big deal!
@@ameliadiaz8040 Yeah, I’ve seen a load of sites on SONNYs controls failing give packages that come with that component, it happens randomly, but honestly if you use a good drying agent it’s not really worth worrying about, my car came out just fine…
Gotta love the little to no brush contact 🗣️
Hey Nick give me a shout if you want to come visit our wash in Orlando
Lots of equipment. Very nice
The top brush did not work very well.
Yo! I have a request, can you go to Mod Wash in Pinellas park florida? Nice vids btw!
Pinellas Park is quite far away from the Orlando area for just one wash that honestly isn't as enthuasistic of a company in my opinion. There happens to be a Mod Wash site in Orlando that just opened. When I have time, I may check it out, stay tuned!
Love the triple wrap setup. However, they should have done rockers instead of pendulums under the second top brush.
What can I say, we love high pressure… 😂 I agree though.
Great video! Love Sonny’s equipment.
Nice video!
Thanks!
@@CarwashReviewsFlorida No problem!
Is it getting replaced?
Likely not.
@@CarwashReviewsFlorida That’s interesting. So I assume it will stay like that.
Need to bee replace
Hey today is the seven year anniversary that I posted first video on my RUclips channel and you were the first person to comment on it.
The main problem with tunnel washes is the operators. They load cars like 2 feet away from each other and have the conveyor going really fast to process quickly, which lowers the wash quality by a mile. Great Video!
You're talking to a tunnel attendant and soon-to-be manager here, lol. So, if you have your chemistry dialed in properly, the right amount of mils, etc you won't be lowering quality. Also, many different tunnels have different chain speeds set to work off their chemistry setup. You really have to play around with things when it's a brand-new tunnel, but once you hit the sweet spot, there's no going back. Where I work we have auto-roller where when the back tires roll over the tape switch it automatically fires a roller. I absolutely love it as on busy days like we've had from pollen season now, our car counts are higher and stacking is doable.
@@CarwashReviewsFlorida When you load cars so close the brush can’t even go between both of the cars comfortably then you are going to have a huge problem if someone jumps a roller. still will always prefer inbay washes. One near me is VERY clean and they hose the brushes off after almost every car during day.
@@DylBuilder1 It sends extra rollers after the one for the vehicle is sent, and the wraps do make full contour front and back still. So you like IBAs, nothing wrong with that, but answer this! Can your IBA wash up to 1000+ cars in one day fast and efficiently with no stop, and no wait time? I will give PETIT a point as they are the ONLY IBA I would ever install if I were forced to go with an IBA.
@@CarwashReviewsFlorida But the conveyor doesn’t stop for the spare rollers to hit the tire. No, but why would I want to spend 500k+ on a full blown tunnel(because if I was going to go tunnel I’d get the fusion, x3 and everything) when I can do 200k on an inbay, wash for the same/ similar price, and earn back my investment faster. I respect your opinion on tunnels though.
@@DylBuilder1 No hate man, I respect your opinion as well. If you don't mind me asking, what chemistry do you run or plan to run? I am going with either Lustra or QualChem, all depends on the cost though.
i wish i could still see your other videos :(
Been a long time. Nice content. Contact if ok. News update bout your bro.
Looks like this wash leaves a high amount of soap on the vehicle after the wash is done.
We've changed a lot since then, and have had time to dial things in correctly. This was taken when the store was brand new July of 2021.
