SONNY’S The Car Wash Factory
Tamarac, Florida
Beginning as an operator in 1949, SONNY’S The Car Wash Factory is now the largest manufacturer of conveyorized car wash equipment, parts, and supplies in the world.
What’s New/Best Seller • 180-Degree Swivel Boom Self-Serve Vacuum.
Advantages/Features • The new self-serve point-of-use stainless steel vacuum can be used in either free or token-operated applications. It features a post that can hold a 180-degree swivel vacuum boom and a trash barrel. The vacuum hose was designed to remain clearer, preventing clogs from many items that are vacuumed up from vehicle floors. The boom prevents the vacuum from being dropped onto the ground or having to be dragged over or through a vehicle to get to the other side. With great customer-appeal in mind, the boom allows for the vacuum nozzle to be off the ground and sit in a holder, keeping it cleaner and more appealing to use. Designed specifically for self-serve or gas station use, the vacuum is made to be durable with very little maintenance required. It is the ideal system to put in areas where an operator cannot place a central vac.
Price • The complete system (trash can not included) costs $1,995.
