## How the Leisuwash 380 Series Works: 5-Stage Wash Process
The 380 series employs a sophisticated multi-stage **touchless car wash** process driven by an AI three-axis motion control system. Here’s how each stage works:
### Stage 1: Vehicle Detection & Positioning
The system uses **ultrasonic radar fusion detection technology** to scan the vehicle profile in real time. The AI control system maps the exact dimensions and contours, enabling the smart wash arm to optimize its cleaning path for each vehicle — no two washes are identical.
### Stage 2: Chemical Application & Pre-Soak
A precision dosing system sprays 20-50 ml of cleaning chemicals per application cycle. Available chemical programs include:
| Chemical Application | 380 Plus | 380 Ultra | Function |
|———————|———-|———–|———-|
| Pre-soak spray | ✅ | ✅ | Breaks down road film and grime |
| Single-color shampoo | ✅ | — | Foam application for cleaning |
| Tri-color shampoo | — | ✅ | Visual foam application (blue/yellow/pink) |
| OVERGLOW HI-GLOSS | ✅ | ✅ | Enhances paint shine and protection |
| WAX | ✅ | ✅ | Long-lasting wax coating |
| TOP-RO spot-free rinse | ✅ | ✅ | Prevents water spots on finish |
### Stage 3: 360° High-Pressure Wash with Smart Arm
This is the core cleaning stage where the **360-degree high-pressure washing smart arm** delivers pressurized water at 90-120 kg through precision-engineered nozzles. The smart arm adjusts its spray pattern based on the AI-detected vehicle profile.
– **Unique double-row nozzle design** on the rotating arm ensures comprehensive coverage from every angle
– **Chassis and wheel hub high-pressure washing** as standard — critical for removing road salt, mud, and brake dust
– **Variable speed operation** — the arm slows for heavily soiled areas and speeds through cleaner sections
– **Ultra exclusive:** TOP high-pressure washing adds an additional overhead washing arch for maximum cleaning power
### Stage 4: Spot-Free Rinse
The TOP-RO spot-free rinse system delivers a final mineral-free rinse that prevents water spots — essential in regions with hard water or high mineral content. A complete rinse cycle takes just 28 seconds.
### Stage 5: Built-in Variable Frequency Air Drying
The built-in variable frequency air drying system uses **four 5.5 kW air dryer motors** (5.5kW × 4 = 22 kW total drying power) to deliver powerful, controlled airflow:
– Variable frequency technology adjusts fan speed based on vehicle size
– Efficient drying completes within the standard wash cycle time
– Optional **side air dryers** (5.5kW × 2) available for enhanced drying performance
