Banana Joe's Most Frequently Asked Questions |
Q: How does Banana Joe’s offer
Touch-Free, Soft-Touch and a Combination Wash when I see only one car wash
machine?
|
A: Our Autec Evolution-1
Combination wash equipment allows you to choose either 1) Touch-Free or
2) Soft-Touch or 3) an awesome Combination of both (called our “Going Bananas”
wash). When you chose Touch-Free,
the Polyflex Foam stays out, away from your car and the High-Pressure Nozzles
activate. When you chose Soft-Touch, the Polyflex Foam moves in to wash
your car and the High Pressure Nozzles stay off. When you chose
the “Going Bananas” Combination wash package, both the Polyflex
and High-Pressure Nozzles activate to provide you with our most comprehensive
cleaning option.

Q: What is the
difference between Touch-Free & Soft-Touch?
|
A: Touch-Free uses a special
pre-soak soap and high-pressure water only Soft-Touch uses soaps combined with
Soft-Touch Polyflex Foam material to more thoroughly wash your car.

Q: What is the “Going Bananas”
Combination wash?
|
A: Banana Joe’s “Going Bananas”
Combination Touch-Free & Soft-Touch wash option provides our most comprehensive
cleaning package by using both the Soft-Touch Polyflex foam AND the
High-Pressure Touch-Free feature in the same package.

Q:
I don't
have
a lot of time to wash my car.
How long does it take.
|
A: Our BANANA EXPRESS wash
takes about 2 minutes and the top-of-the-line
"Going Bananas" wash
takes
about three and a half minutes.
Then you drive through our 45HP blowers for a Power Dry that can take 45 to 60
seconds.
|
| |
Q:
How can I pay for my car wash?
|
A: You may use
Cash, Credit cards, Debit
Cards,
or
Prepaid Cards at Banana Joe’s. You may also choose
to receive a receipt.
|
| |
Q: I heard a long time ago that
brush washes are not good for my car – is that true?
|
A: Some brush washes – the
old-style
nylon bristle wire type, for example -
may not
be good
for your car. Banana Joe’s uses
the new
high-tech "Soft Touch Polyflex Foam”, which is used in luxury automobile
dealerships across the country and recommended by car manufacturers.
In fact,
our "Polyflex" creates a polishing effect on a vehicle's surface similar to that
of a foam buffing pad used in a detail shop.
|
| |
Q: Will the car wash handle my
truck or van?
|
A: Typically,
YES! All vehicles except those that are over 83” tall, like conversion
vans, or vehicles wider than 110", like dual-wheel pick up trucks, can use
Banana Joe’s. If you have non-standard exterior options you should
remove those before entering the wash
|
| |
Q: The car-wash
sure does a great job but looks like it uses a ton of water. How can this
be good for the environment?
|
A: Banana Joe’s washes cars
with less water than the do-it-yourselfer in the driveway. The Autec
Evolution-1 Combination wash system uses 132 gallons of water for
the
top-of-the-line “Going Bananas” wash: About 116 gallons are recycled and about
16 gallons are fresh. That's an 88% water recovery rate. According to the
International Carwash Association,
do-it-yourselfer’s
in the driveway use approximately 100 gallons per car and allow soapy discharge
to enter storm drains where it flows untreated into nearby lakes and ponds. At
Banana Joe's, we filter our water before it properly flows to a municipal waste
water plant where it is further treated.

Q: I’ve tried Touch-Free
washes before and they just don’t clean my car – does Banana
Joe’s
offer something else?
|
A: Yes
. You may chose a Soft-Touch
or the Going
Bananas Combination wash. At Banana Joe’s you have the freedom to choose from 3
wash types:
1)
Soft-Touch – this is what nearly every luxury auto
dealer uses
2)
Touch-Free – for those customers who want only
high-pressure
3)
Combination of both Soft-Touch &
Touch-Free – Our “Going Bananas” wash combines the superior cleaning of
Soft-Touch plus the High-Pressure water of Touch-Free to provide the ultimate
car washing experience
|
| |
Q: I’ve heard Touch-Free
referred to as a “maintenance” wash – what does that mean?
|
A: If your car is already
fairly clean, Touch-Free can “maintain” the level of cleanliness that you
already have. However, if your car gets dirty
, or has bird droppings or bugs on the nose or mirrors, most
car
owners typically find that a Soft-Touch wash provides better results than a
Touch-Free.
