IQ 2.0 is available in a 3-brush, soft touch design or touch free version that features a new 35gpm option. D&S IQ system was introduced in 2010 and was the first in-bay automatic invented using 3-D scanning and vehicle profiling. A high-tech profile is captured during the beginning of the wash process to "map" specific details and dimensions of every vehicle being washed in the bay. The IQ will measure the height, length and width of the vehicle and display a scan on the system's touchscreen. Each scan is captured and stored in memory. "Rising energy prices and operating costs created a need for a more efficient car wash" stated Jerry Canfield, D&S Chief Engineer and inventor of the IQ system. "The IQ 2.0 builds upon the efficiency tradition established with the IQ platform. From its lightweight construction, low cost transport, ease of installation, simple preventative and corrective maintenance processes, to the low power electric motors driven by variable frequency drives every aspect of the design of the IQ platform is focused on efficiency" he stated. "The IQ 2.0 is an evolutionary advancement of the revolutionary IQ platform. This evolution demonstrates our dedication to quality initiatives and improvement" The smarter design of the IQ 2.0 now boasts dual drive assemblies which control the direction and speed of the unit. Dual drives provide for smoother operation, higher performance, less component wear and greater wash efficiency. All motors on the IQ 2.0 are connected by multi-conductor wire and cable assemblies using sealed connectors and termination components to prevent motor water ingression. IQ 2.0 invisible vehicle positioning system features no guide rails or hardware on the floor so the bay has a clean "open" look. Together with in-bay signage and IQ Voice Announcer™, entering the wash is easier and enhances the total customer experience. IQ 2.0 is web enabled for the operator to get basic information like daily wash counts, service issues and faults. Program updates and troubleshooting is also easily performed over the web. D&S is leading the car wash industry with the latest proprietary software and more powerful micro-processor to keep the wash connected at all times. A full color touch screen is included. IQ 2.0 features a Wheel Cannon to further enhance the cleaning effectiveness of the tires, wheels and rocker panels. Simple Windows based laptop control and available options like Tri-Gloss multi-color foam, Quickrain surface protectant and new Foaming Wax make operating the wash as much of an experience as the car wash itself. IQ 2.0 is energy efficient and wastewater effluent to reduce pollution. IQ 2.0 easily connects to any reclaim system for recycle and grey water reclamation. The all-new IQ 2.0 offers a stylish design, fully customizable wash process and low cost of operation. The IQ is available for carwash, convenience store operators and auto dealers as a retrofit solution or for new installation.
