Virtual Treadle
The M5 comes standard with the patented Virtual Treadle, making it easier for customers to drive into and out of the wash bay, which increases washes per hour.
PDQ’s patented Virtual Treadle eliminates drive on floor mounted mechanisms, creating a non-threatening, totally open wash bay. Customers love the Virtual Treadle because it makes getting a car wash faster and easier (no more lining up the car on a drive-on treadle). It safely accepts vehicles with any wheel configuration, including low profile sports wheels, "dually" pick-up trucks, and oversized SUV tires. Combined with easy-to-read signage, the M5 increases customer comfort and eliminates user confusion. Owners love the Virtual Treadle because it processes cars more quickly (easy-in driving means faster throughput!) and reduces drive-outs.
Wash Options
The M5 gives you the opportunity to customize your system to meet your needs. By tailoring your system, you can increase profit potential, provide more options to your customers, expand your customer base, and further secure your investment. Many value-added options are available for the M5 including:
- 3X Color Foam Applicator - Grab your customer’s interest and attention with thick, triple-color layers of foam conditioner. What a colorful way to promote upgrades as well as profit.
- Productivity Package - Wash cycle efficient for your LaserWash M5. This packages allows a rinse service to be applied in one pass of the bridge, rather than rinsing in two bridge passes with the arch.
- High-Pressure Undercarriage, Side and Wheel Blast - The powerful undercarriage, rocker panel and wheel blast systems cleans down to the ground and the underbody of the vehicle. These are profitable upgrades as well since customers frequently choose these options and value the results.
- Wheel Cleaner - Targets rocker panels, wheels, and wheel wells with a cleaning solution.

- Gatling Guns - Equipped with a rotating cluster of zero-degree nozzles, the high pressure Gatling Guns clean rocker panels, wheels, wheel wells, headlights, and more.

Pump Station
The LaserWash M5 Pump Station is the powerhouse of the M5, housing the solution dispensing equipment and providing water pressure and cleaning. Designed for low cost and efficient operation, the LaserWash M5 Pump Station can be used in either the equipment room or directly in the wash bay.
Sign Systems
The M5 features easy-to-read, user-friendly instructional and directional signage for optimal customer clarity and understanding. Clearance, entrance, and service confirmation signage, menuboard, and countdown timer are also available with the ability to customize the menuboard with your own logo.
Water Conditioning
The M5 is designed to accommodate the addition of optional water conditioning equipment, including spot-free (reverse osmosis) water, water softners, water heaters and water reclamation to enhance the touch free wash process. Equipment specifications are dependent upon operation size, equipment options, and local water conditions. Consult your local PDQ Distributor for more information.
Max-Air
The PDQ MaxAir Stand-Alone Dryer is a breakthrough in dryer performance. MaxAir dries vehicles better than ever, yet uses less energy than conventional dryers.
The key to MaxAir is optimizing air velocity and flow.
As air exits a dryer, it travels at a high rate of speed or air velocity. The stream loses much of its speed as it meets the resistance of the surrounding air. By the time it reaches the vehicle, airflow has been minimized. In effect, optimum airflow is best near the dryer outlet. Unfortunately, that’s not where it’s needed. Through innovative design, the MaxAir Stand-Alone Dryer delivers high-velocity air to the vehicle surface – where it’s most important.
Your customers will enjoy driers vehicles. You’ll enjoy lower operating costs! Add MaxAir to your vehicle wash system today!
The MaxAir Stand-Alone Dryer utilizes concentrated air columns, air drafting, and an optimized array of blowers to deliver high-velocity air to the vehicle surface.
