A Simple & Industry Changing Innovation

Superior Cleaning - Vehicle Tops, Sides, Front & Rear With FrictionSoft® RotoFlex® Cloth Scrubbing Power

360° co-axial surround gentle cloth washing

​

Bugs and bird droppings don’t stand a chance with the six (6) unique RotoFlex® scrubbing motions working simultaneously for total non-stop cleaning

Counter-rotating and auto reverse actions provide excellent rear and window cleaning - even for trucks!

RotoFlex® removes dirt off the car as it cleans, no dragging or carrying the dirt from the front to the rear of the car.

By purposefully adding side slits (mini-mitters) to the side wash mitters, our advanced systems clean vehicle areas never reached before with conventional mitters.

Proven cleaning performance with multiple FrictionSoft® systems over one year of extensive field testing – 500,000+ cars washed at 250 cars per hour line speed.
