Car Washes
It's no secret that car washes are a booming business, with roughly 60,000 in the United States and industry estimates projecting that number will double by 2030, it's more important than ever to ensure that your car wash is the best on the block to beat out competitors. Action Direct provides quality American-made weather seals, industrial door operators, safety features and more to provide your customers with a quality service they’ll want to return to.
A building’s appearance matters when attracting customers, and visible dust or the buildup of trash and debris like leaves is a fast way for clients to move on. That's why Action Direct supplies Flex Brush, a flexible vinyl weather seal that keeps out debris, dirt, the elements like snow and extreme temperatures. Flex Brush is a money-saving alternative to traditional metal-back brush seals and can be installed on the top, bottom, and sides of a car wash door. The protection against air infiltration is especially useful at manual car washes where employees must work through cold winter months. While traditional weather seals are built with metal that will quickly corrode from constant contact with moisture from a car wash, Flex Brush has a high-quality polypropylene backing that won’t rust and weighs up to 40 percent less than conventional brushes. It’s even available on reels to lower shipping costs and make storage easy.
Flex Brush holds its filament bristles to extend the life of the brush so you can have long-lasting protection in a moist environment predisposed to frequent maintenance. Action Direct provides Flex Brush in handy kits that include everything needed for installation--including the retainer as well as the brush on its own for those who already have a retainer and are due to change a worn out metal back brush.
For car washes in areas with frigid climates, Action Direct supplies the sturdy Tri-fin Polar Seal. Made with durable EPDM that remains flexible in extreme weather climates, the seal has a two-fin design and thermal gasket that provides a tighter, tougher door seal that won’t falter in the cold. We supply kits that include the EPDM Tri-Fin door seal, aluminum retainer sections, fasteners and installation instructions to make installation easy!
We also carry ZAP garage door openers and accessories that can safely and efficiently operate any commercial, residential, or industrial car wash door. Action Direct offers jackshaft openers, controllers, remotes, loop detectors, and specific repair parts to make repairing pre-existing operators easy. ZAP operators are designed for simplicity and utilize just two pulleys and a single belt so installation and maintenance are a breeze. Our operators are equipped with built-in Safety Sense obstruction sensor technology as an additional layer of protection in heavily trafficked cash wash areas.
The car wash industry is a competitive business, but with Action Direct you can ensure that your location provides customers and employees with a quality service that will keep them coming back. Our capabilities are always expanding, and we’re here for the long haul to take your business to the next level.
