The PDQ LaserGlow Arch enhances automatic wash bays with programmable lighting and visual guides, offering customizable color patterns for brand visibility and easy vehicle loading. Adapting to various vehicle shapes and sizes, the Belanger MiniFlex is an automatic horizontal-surface washer that operates quietly and has an auto-retract option for open truck beds.
