What’s New/Best Seller • DryLite Dryers.
Advantages/Features • DryLite Dryers connect with passing drivers by lighting up the exit area of a car wash.

This helps increase vehicle processing and throughput, which means more cars are washed per day. Clean, dry cars and an end-to-end light show improve car wash visibility, and improved visibility improves the business.
