Image Wash Systems
Make your wash bay a fleet wash that runs itself. IQ MAX scans every vehicle in 3D and washes it touch-free, from sprinter vans to full tractor-trailers, with Image Wash Products chemistry and support from our team in Hudsonville, Michigan.
Technology
IQ MAX pairs a lightweight carriage with smart controls that keep operating costs low. Watch it wash a full-size truck from start to finish.
A driver-friendly RFID touchpad with up to 16 programmable wash menus, from basic fleet rinses to premium packages.
Monitor washes, adjust settings and review wash counts, alerts and maintenance notices from any web-connected device.
Built-in diagnostics watch every component during each cycle and send alerts before small issues turn into downtime.
A lightweight carriage with low-amp electric motors and variable frequency drives keeps power demand and utility costs down.
Scan-guided washing uses up to 30% less water and up to 40% less chemical, and the system is water-reclaim ready.

Why fleets switch
Hand washing is slow and labor-heavy, and brush automatics put your trucks at risk. Here is how IQ MAX stacks up.
The smarter way
On-site, automated, 100% touch-free
Compared to
Wash crews, truck stops, mobile washers
Compared to
Rollover and brush wash systems
Figures are typical estimates. Actual results vary by site, wash volume, chemistry and utility costs.
Step by step
No programming per truck and no guesswork. IQ MAX builds a new wash path for every vehicle that pulls in.
Sensors detect the vehicle and traffic lights guide the driver into position. There are no floor rails to line up on.
Ultrasonic sensors and light grids map height, width, length and add-ons like mirrors, ladders, racks and stacks.
The scan sets wand travel, spray angles, pressure and chemical application for that exact vehicle.
Oscillating and rotating high-pressure nozzles wash the front, rear, roof and sides without touching the vehicle.
A final pass checks for missed areas and re-cleans them before the cycle ends.
The driver pulls out and the bay resets itself for the next vehicle.
Benefits for fleets
An IQ MAX touchless truck wash on your own lot keeps tractor-trailers, box trucks and vans clean and on the road.
Who it's for
IQ MAX handles the vehicles your business actually runs: tractor-trailers, buses, sprinter and delivery vans, box trucks, RVs, ambulances, pumper trucks and service vehicles.
For wash owners + investors
Large vehicle washing is under-served. IQ MAX generates up to 3x more revenue per wash than manual methods, locks in steady income through fleet contracts and runs up to 4 washes per hour per bay.

FAQ

Many touch-free large vehicle washes rely on fixed spray patterns and basic arch movement, so they can miss hard-to-reach areas on trucks of different shapes. IQ MAX varies its spray patterns vehicle by vehicle and only washes what it sees.
Yes. IQ MAX is designed to integrate into existing bays. It mounts to the walls in bays up to 20 ft wide or to columns in wider bays. Bays wider than 25 ft need a custom support structure built by your site contractor, and the exit side needs 3 ft of clearance for the energy chain.
RVs and 5th-wheel trailers up to 47 ft need a 65 ft building with 55 ft of rail. Extended trailers up to 91 ft need a 110 ft building with 99 ft of rail.
IQ MAX is built for street-legal vehicles, including common mirror setups. Mirror assemblies and safety devices can extend past the body width, and mirror-to-mirror width varies by vehicle, so share your largest vehicles when you request a quote.
Yes. Vehicles up to 14 ft still wash successfully. The top wand simply runs slightly outside its optimal design range.
Plan space for two high-pressure pump stands, each 30 in. wide, 56 in. deep and 57 in. tall, plus your chemical containers. The layout review sizes the room for your site.
Each high-pressure pump stand needs a 150A circuit as standard, or 80A with the 460/480V option, and both need 120VAC control power. The carriage circuit cannot be modified to accept alternative power sources.
A 2 in. trunk line from the water softener can supply up to 2 bays. Sites with more bays need an evaluation of incoming water pressure and flow. Larger services, such as a 4 in. line, may support more systems depending on city supply.
Each bay also needs hot soft water (a 3/4 in. line from the water heater), spot-free water (a 1 1/2 in. line from the RO storage tank) and an RO reject or reclaim line (1 1/2 in. from its storage tank). Each pump stand connects through a 1 in. ball valve.
Air drives chemical aeration, blowdown and valve switching. It needs to be filtered and dry at 90 PSI, and the compressor is sized to the model you choose.
Every IQ MAX we install is paired with Image Wash Products truck wash chemistry, delivered by compact pump stands from 55- to 275-gallon containers. It cleans aluminum, chrome and stainless without streaking or whitening. See our bulk truck wash soap.
Pricing depends on your site, bay layout and options. Typical payback is 3 to 5 years, depending on wash volume. Request a free quote for pricing built around your site.
IQ MAX is engineered and built by D&S Car Wash Supply of High Ridge, Missouri, which has engineered wash equipment since 1972.
