@araflygare Kinda does, yeah. The most noticeable differences in appearance are that the wheel scrubbers have been replaced by two high pressure blasters, and the tall rear brushes are free to swing instead of being fixed vertically.
The difference in operation is like night and day...
How did the wash clean with the microclean cloth. Also you might know,does Sonnys put micro clean on their top brushes.They never say if the top brush comes with it.
i spoke to a sonnys rep and he was telling me that this machine was one of the first prototypes for the i5. i will post some videos of the one i just finished installing. huge difference
Somehow I figured it was a prototype... Sonnys is based down in Fort Lauderdale, after all. The machine works great. I love that it has pendulum style rear wraps, so it actually follows the outer slopes of of a car unlike... someone else's out there *coughRYKOcough*
I love the bumper/rocker panel/wheel blaster system. Great stuff there.
I used this machine tonight, the Microclean has been replaced with Neoglide or some other foam cloth in c-channels. It's a lot less... slappy. It still cleans like a total dream though. However, it seriously needs some means of rinsing under the air deflector on a hatchback! Lots of foaming conditioner came running down the rear glass during the dry cycle. Maybe some rinse nozzles on the rear of the gantry facing forward, fired on a short timer during the start of the rinse/protectant cycle?
i install these in the texas oklahoma region and this is on of the best machines on the market. the equipment on the bay wall makes me sick. too much contamination possibilities. is there no boost pump on the undercar? it wasnt crazy strong. ive never seen one with assorted brushes.
It was a Unitec Electronics Wash Select II with only the code pad installed. (Why...?! If cash/credit card options were installed, they'd make more sales!)
Ah, you were fooled too, just as when I first saw it!
Nope. It's a Sonny's Baywash i5. Information on it is available at baywash -dot- com. (Youtube kills comments with URLs... even by the original poster of the video... darn you, Youtube!)
This model has Microclean side wraps and a Neoglide top brush.
Oh, you're thinking of soft cloth... yeah, that crap is BRUTAL. Grit gets embedded in the cloth and causes massive problems.
This uses "Microclean", which is a really odd thick material that has a surface I can't particularly well describe. It's really odd, and drops grit out of its surface on contact. It doesn't even really hold water.
Soft cloth tunnels seem to be the WORST about scratching. Filament brushes leave shallow swirl marks too... blech.
The sonny's baywash i5 looks like a Ryko Softgloss XS car wash.

Yeah, I wondered about that weirdness on the wall! I've never seen anything else like it. It looks more like the condiment bar in a fast food joint...
The mix of brushes is pretty interesting. Microclean wraps with soft cloth at the bottom of the tall ones, and a Neoglide top brush.
The undercar wash reached the ceiling! I think it does have boost.
What part of this system is mounted inside that Otto Christ cabinet? Also, does the Baywash i3 actually exist? I've seen sample pics of it...
hyvahyva 2 years ago
The Baywash i3 appeared to be a rebranded Christ Genius machine. I wonder just what changes Sonny's makes to them, if any...?

Listen to all the scratches being put in the paint.
Boodieman72 2 years ago
What you're hearing is just basically the sound of large wet towels being slapped against the car. Nothing scratchy hits the car.
The high pressure bumper/wheel/rocker panel blasters sound pretty funky...
hyvahyva 2 years ago
That puts scratches in paint, as a professional detailer I end up fixing a lot of those problems.
