A
Revolutionary Breakthrough in Wash Material
FoamBrite
has revolutionized the vehicle wash industry!
This soft and gentle material produces cleaning
action that brightens the vehicle’s finish with
repeated washing.
You’ll notice the difference when you feel
FoamBrite.
At first touch, you’ll discover a unique
product that is both pliant and supple, yet durable and
forgiving – unlike any material ever used for vehicle
washing.
It is a feather-light fabric that is virtually
water resistant, and its cell structure prohibits small
particles of dirt and sand from embedding into the
material.
FoamBrite provides an extremely
safe, thorough wash. Best of all, your customers
will notice the difference the very first time they wash
their vehicle with FoamBrite.
As it cleans, FoamBrite actually brings back the
hidden luster of the surface.
Wash after wash, the shine and beauty of the
finish will continue to improve.
When your customers see the FoamBrite gloss of
their vehicles, they’ll be back, time and time again.
FoamBrite Wash Systems
Ryko’s FoamBrite Wash
System includes a multitude of features that allows Ryko
to offer the best and safest clean in the industry. The FoamBrite Wash system includes 100% patented and
exclusive FoamBrite wash material; a lightweight,
closed-cell polymer cleaning material that is virtually
waterproof and designed to prevent dirt from
accumulating on the brushes. The
FoamBrite wash
system combines brush speed, surface pressure, wash
material density and lubricity application to provide
the highest quality wash. Other important components of the FoamBrite wash system
include:
Ultrasonic
Mapping:
Recognizes different vehicle types under
the gantry, which, in turn, produces a safer, higher
quality wash for different vehicle sizes
Amp
Sensing Sensors:
This feature allows the system to recognize when a brush
has been tangled in such things as a trailer hitch, and
will shut down that arm for that wash to provide a safer
wash process.
Top
Brush Interrupt:
Used in
conjunction with the
Ultrasonic
Measuring
pass, the top brush interrupt prevents the top brush
from descending into pickup beds where it could come
into contact with any accumulated debris and possibly
damage the vehicle or machine.
The ultrasonics "reads" or detects the
profile of the vehicle to determine what type of vehicle
is present. If
a pickup is detected a timer is used to perform the top
brush interrupt.
FoamBrite
is more than a material; it is a complete wash system
that has been extensively researched and was developed
to provide the safest, best cleaning and most
comprehensive wash system in the car wash industry.
FoamBrite
"Shines" in Scientific Study
Prior
to the release of FoamBrite, Ryko, working with leading
suppliers of paint to the automobile industry, conducted
thousands of laboratory tests to determine the effect of
FoamBrite washing on the painted surface of vehicles.
These tests concluded that washing with FoamBrite
provided a shine and gloss to the surface of the vehicle
that was previously unattainable with any wash medium.
Encouraged by the results of lab tests, Ryko took
the next step to conduct a “real world” test of
FoamBrite
The Test
Ryko
purchased a 1997 black Pontiac
Grand Prix from the Pontiac production
line
in Kansas City. Once
back at Ryko, scientific
measurements were taken on various
segments of the vehicle to determine the
initial shine and luster of the painted
surface. The
test tools for these
measurements were a Glossmeter and
a Reflectometer – devices that measure
shine and color.
The
vehicle was driven normally for one year without
any special precautions to protect the painted surface.
During
the course of the year the car was repeatedly washed
using FoamBrite. Several
areas of the car were covered to prevent the paint from
being touched during the wash process.
Prior to and at the conclusion of each wash,
measurements were taken using the test tools to
determine the gloss and color of the painted surfaces.
Readings were taken of the surface washed with
FoamBrite and of the areas that were untouched during
the wash process
The
Results
After
a year’s worth of washing with FoamBrite, the
measurements of the gloss and color were virtually
identical to the initial readings taken before the car
had ever been washed.
The gloss and color reading for the areas washed
by FoamBrite showed a much higher shine than the
readings taken from those areas not washed with
FoamBrite.
Additional testing conducted on older vehicles
repeatedly showed that FoamBrite actually increased the
gloss of the painted surfaces.
Visual inspection of the “before and after”
of these vehicles confirmed this and provided incredibly
positive comments sometimes after only one wash.
Many factors can affect customer
throughout during the wash process.
The best way to maximize throughput can be
summarized as follows
-
Provides
a safe, soft, gentle wash
-
Repeated
washing enhances the vehicle’s gloss and luster
-
Increases
customer satisfaction with a thorough wash, time
after time
-
Material
is virtually water resistant – dirt and sand are
washed away
-
FoamBrite
is extremely durable but soft and forgiving – a
feather-light wash
