Built in 7/1986, this is by far the oldest rollover i've recorded. These washes were truly designed with simplicity in mind.
If you look closely, the left rear wash arm isn't contouring to the car properly- and it doesn't 100% retract after a cycle. This could most likely be blamed on a failing air cylinder. We purchased three washes, and had to manually retract it each time so we could pull into the bay.
I'm really not sure how this place is still washing cars, especially since the worn filament scratched carwashnews' headlights. I'd say with a little TLC, you could totally bring this wash back to life.
A unique part of this wash is the original 'Desert Dry' driers. They have a neat sound to them. I believe this is probably one of the last ones in operation.
The Ultimate Wash ('Best For Clear Coat Finishes') Included:
-Undercarriage
-Velvet Touch Wash
-Hot Wax (brushes keep spinning to 'buff' product)
-Rinse
-'Super Dry'
I really miss these car washes!!I used to be petrified of them as a kid,especially those evil looking pinwheel brushes 😂😂
The car wash will be open next month it is located at Sinclair food mart Norwood young america, MN not the ATM one
That is a cool Ryko R7B UltraClean car wash and I would've taken a 2004 Scion XB to that car wash in 2018
Also, love those grill brushes and that top brush with two-blue-toned chess design!
I haven’t seen pinwheel type brushes since I was a kid in the 80s
This exact car wash scared me to death as a kid!!!!
Where is the super like button! I can't believe that it is still there working with the magical pinwheel (or how they are called) brushes. Fabulous job on the video :)
Thank you! The pinwheels are so weird! They felt pretty gentle when I touched it while they were spinning.
Hate to sound silly but..... I wish i had this in my garage.
Same, free car washes! Just not with polyethylene brushes, and I don't even know if three-phase electricity exists in my neighbourhood.
It would be great if it were soft material and you could have nice hot soapy water come out, and you could lay on a bed of some sort and have it wash your body. That would be cool.
That would be fun
We all do
It’s not free it still goes to your house bills too.
Love those pinwheel brushes!
They used to scare the crap out of me as a kid😂😂
Old system, but did a great job! I'm still surprised they have a bunch of Voyagers still operating.
It did a decent job, i'm surprised the 32 year old dryer could actually perform so well. It did do some damage such as marring on the headlights and light swirling from the worn filament.
Truly old school
Can you record the car wash at the Arco on 440 W Charter Way in Stockton, California?
Here in Tampa, Florida, there used to be an Amoco gas station on the corner of Fowler Avenue and Nebraska Avenue. It was a full-service station, and it had an automatic car wash. The brushes in the car wash were red and white, but it only had two bottom brushes instead of four. But, it did contain two pinwheel brushes.
Michael Williams Sounds like a Sherman Roll-A-Wash those had pinwheels as well. I don’t believe there are any left.
nice
This actually looks like a Ryko R-784, though i'm not sure with all the r7b retrofits.
It has an R7B plate. With the king air dryer. It was from the late 1980’s.
@@sunshinesuds Odd.
@@sunshinesuds How do you know what the dryer is called?
@mpollux2 It actually is not. He bought the system used from a car rental agency somewhere in the area. More than likely, it was manufactured in the late 70's.
Location for this one? Because if it’s still open I gotta film it.
The address is 505 N Faxon Rd N, Norwood Young America, MN 55368. As of the most recent street view, it's still there.
It's at Norwood Young Sinclair in Norwood Young America
To be honest, if you would change the failed air cylinder and replace the worn filament, this thing could probably do a decent job.
Interesting
When I was a kid in the 1980s, there was one of these in Greeley, Colorado. That was back in the mid-eighties. I don't live in Colorado anymore but would be interested to see if it's still there.
What colour were the brushes?
When did Ryko started making the R7B? Also, When did they first make the Desert Dry Dryers?
I believe they started production in the late 70's. The older models came without the 'ultraclean' branding, and were later available with tall rear arms.
Car Wash Studios Cool.
I saw one of these systems at a Texaco petrol station in Bristol when I was a child & it had green brushes.
I'm not trying to offend you, but sticking your hand in what appeared to be hard bristles (1:20) was risky. I did the exact same thing before we upgraded systems at my wash and it cut my hand pretty good. Great video stay safe.
Aside from causing damage to plastic headlights (happened at this wash actually. I see where you're coming from) Ryko's filament brushes are fairly gentle. Hanna Car Wash Co. actually had an ad where they ran a bathing suit model on top of a Porsche through their equipment because they "wanted to emphasize that their soft durable bristles are safe for cars with the most exquisite finish".

We upgraded from a rykos r7b to a new pdq system. The filament material was worn out and pretty much you couldn't find it anywere.
Erick Wardwell when did you upgrade?? Is your current location a gas station?
Burnt Potato
about 2 months ago. It's a 14 bay (7 on each side) car wash with 7 automatics and 7 manuals. The automatics are 3 soft touch and 3 touchless all PDQ . The 6th bay is currently being retrofitted for another automatic, it had the R7B in it
Erick Wardwell very interesting!! So did all 7 bays have r7bs with the original blue and light blue brushes?? And also did it have onboard dry or none at all?? Sorry for all the questions lol
Car wash studios there’s a ryko r7b in operation where I live it’s at a car wash called Hollidaysburg wash n go in hoildaysburg pa
is it still operation
@@carwashchannel No it has been replaced by a touchless car wash system
@@carwashconnoisseur7216 got replaced by a lazerwash 360 plus
$4 isn’t bad
Awesome video. Are there any R7Bs in central/southern California? Haven’t seen one out here in almost 12 years since the one I used to live by was torn down.
No as the last operating Ryko R7Bs in the USA are at Silver Star Car Wash in North Miami & Lube It USA in Willamette.

Here is what is wrong with it the brushes need to be replaced the foam is not spraying out and the arms and the top brush needs to be replaced and the left rear arm Cylinder needs to be replaced otherwise it’s fine
What type of these dryers are
Old Ryko
@@noobthatplayswith2fingers 1979 KingAir/Desert Dry Dryers by RYKO.
It’s gone
no it's not we talked to The owner Russ and he said he may try to get it fixed summer of 2023
@@sergeantjadonsoriginalchan3063 Hello there! I know now that it is in there. The reason why he is opening back up is because when I called about w years ago and said I like car washes, he decided to clear it out and reopen it.
Left arm is not working foam bath does not work and top brush arms
Is this wash sill in operation, or has it been replaced, torn out, closed or torn down?
It is closed until the owner clears it out
One repair than it is finally open!
are there any r7bs or voyagers or any ryko filinent car washes in ohio
there is one in Elyria Ohio but its abandoned and sorry i do not know the address but good luck finding it :)
Also found 2 voyagers in Washington :
2501 NE 75th St, Seattle, WA 98115
105 S 156th St, Burien, WA 98148
went through the one in burian heres the footage ruclips.net/video/Jo4jo7jBCpQ/видео.html
The one in Seattle was actually a RYKO UltraClean with FoamBrite brush material. It has since been sadly abandoned.
I think that left side did not get the back real good. So they need to adjust it so it will get the back real good with the right side!
Found another working r7b.. who wants address??
What state is it located in?
Car Wash Studios Virginia
Car Wash Studios found another one in Washington
Wow. I didn't realize how many of these old things are still out there! I'd like to see some of these addresses please!
7726 Granby St, Norfolk, VA 23505
I wish ryko bring back the R7B
I wish they did to
These machines originate from the company's foundings in 1973. It's laughably shitty and spartan in contrast to modern machines, the design of the rear brushes was probably only done because Ryko couldn't figure out how to make large wash arms or something. Whatever the reason, they don't clean much of anything, and no one would want to buy that.
@@adelaideautowashes your wrong. That was just the technology back in the 70's. I went through an old RYKO that had Pinwheel brushes, and the car came out looking brand new on the outside, even on the upper half. And also, they were founded on May 16th, 1973 by James A. Nelson & Julien L. Klein
is there any of these in ohio
It’s in a junk yard somewhere
no owner said it just was TEMPORARLY CLOSED for repairs!
@@bigburgerboi2005 It was used for storage for a while, but now it will open back up.
@@UnitedStatesCarWashReviews26 oh nice when did you hear that?
@@bigburgerboi2005 to answer both of your questions when we call the owner, he said that it is mean used for storage and later told us he owned a NAPA auto parts store and he had to clear it out but he only had so much time so he use the R7B for storage. I have the owners phone number that’s how I found out that would be open soon.
