Ryko US2001 Epic Fail Edition

I think this was a Ryko US2001 overhead wash. There wasn't enough LEFT OF IT for me to visually identify it. Sorry about that.

This is what you get when you combine a car wash and... I don't even know what. It looks like someone tried to drive a VERY LARGE truck through it. You fools, you need an R168 or Atlantis for that!

No, it did not remove the bird poop from my car. I then had to use a high pressure self service wash to remove WAXED bird poop. Failure.

I officially double dog dare the local techs to make sense of this thing. I certainly could... :)

@TheCarwash97 No. it literally fell off its track and died at some point. I heard it was just never the same once someone tried to wash a tow truck in there and struck the gantry at high speed ....... pwned.

dont you work for ryko

[hyvahyva]

@mismag9221 I am quite glad I do not. I tried to get a job with the local company that does service with them and it was the worst waste of time ever.

@hyvahyva well you said you desined the maxx or was that maxona whatever his name is

[hyvahyva]

@mismag9221 Nah, that wasn't me... the owner used chlorine to kill off the algae that was growing on the brush surfaces.

The pressure is supposed to be weak it only uses a 300 psi. most washes use 1000 psi.but high impact uses more water and less pressure.

Pore little ryko never had a chance.LOL!!

[TheCarwash97]

is this piece of scrap metal running still?

This was Ryko's answer to the Laserwash. Drive system is better but the control leaves a lot to be desired- the thing hunts around the vehicle endlessly constantly readjusting itself as it goes around. While this reduces the chances of a vehicle strike it makes the thing slower. The Radius improved some on this but it's still slower.

@hyvahyva Try PBS Boot Sealant. They use the stuff on aircraft deicing boots and it works very well.

Yeah, these touchfree systems don't impress me very much and to be honest I don't think they do a very good job cleaning your car. Sadly more and more businesses are going with these systems because they consider them safer and more efficient. I'll take a SoftGloss Maxx anyday over one of these type of machines.
