Nice looking. Clean look. My bay didn't look that good when it was new.

It has new flip covers which I love as well as many more features I have heard.

A little more info on the new Radius, as with the US 2001 touch free systems the Radius uses a low pressure high volume pump.

In the world of Touch Free car washes powerful water impingement, or the force of water hitting the vehicle, is critical to wash quality. I-MAXX Cleaning Technology provides water impingement at its maximum and ensures that every vehicle that passes through a Ryko touch free wash site receives the maximum clean.

Rykos exclusive I-MAXX Cleaning Technology uses powerful advanced flow concepts, maximized superior spray pattern designs and high-speed wash passes to achieve the highest standards in vehicle wash quality. If you believe that superior wash quality is a requirement for your car wash business, then insist on I-MAXX Cleaning Technology.

I-MAXX Features
I-MAXX Cleaning Technology offers many features over and above traditional high pressure cleaning methods. This leads to superior wash results and more satisfied customers. These features include:

Power Flow: The dedicated powerful flow pump utilized in I-MAXX Technology delivers 2 to 3 times more flow than other competitive pumps. More flow leads to more powerful impingement and greater impingement equals cleaner vehicles.

Superior Spray Patterns: Overlapping spray patterns maximize the impingement on the vehicle surface and provides double pass coverage on the vehicle wash surface each time the wash arm rounds the vehicle.

High Speed Passes: High speed wash passes bring about unsurpassed cleaning results as the powerful advanced flow and overlapping spray patterns provide the maximum impingement on the surface of the vehicle, even during the quickest wash passes.

Utility Cost Friendly: The new Radius Touch Free product combines highly efficient use of both electrical power and water to minimize utility costs and maximize the site owners profits. The I-MAXX Cleaning Technology reduces water consumption by over 10% verses the previous model (Rykos US2001 OHD).

I-MAXX Effects On Maintenance
I-MAXX Cleaning Technology also provides the ultimate answer to a site owners maintenance concerns by offering numerous unique features such as:

Dedicated Pumps: Radius Touch Free units are designed to use two separate dedicated pumps. The I-MAXX pump is designed for and dedicated to produce powerful water impingement. The Performance Chemical Delivery System has its own dedicated pump designed for advanced chemical delivery. Each pump works only during its portion of the wash cycle, thus extending the life of these extremely durable pumps.

5-year Warranty: I-MAXXs unique pump design is so durable that every pump comes with a standard five-year warranty. The centrifugal design of the pump means that these pumps do not need to be rebuilt every 2-5 years, as many other competitive pumps.

Direct Drive Pumps: There are no belts to replace or to worry about keeping tight as is the case with many other competitors pumps, I-MAXX Cleaning Technology pumps are 100 % direct drive.

Low Maintenance Nozzles Dont worry about expensive zero degree nozzles clogging or not oscillating properly and having to be replaced. The Radius with I-MAXX Cleaning Technology uses powerful MEG nozzles that have proven to be long lasting and do not have the internal moving parts which can wear and not function properly.

I-MAXX Cleaning Technology Versus Traditional Wash Processes
In addition to the items noted above, I-MAXX Cleaning Technology has many other advantages over the traditional high-pressure technology:

I-MAXX Cleaning Technology method is inherently utility efficient. Utility costs are reduced to the operator due to the efficiency of the I-MAXX dedicated pump that is designed to produce the force necessary to provide the highest quality touch free wash.

Another major advantage of I-MAXX Cleaning Technology is that valves, swivels, pumps, fittings and other parts are not subjected to the high pressure and vibration associated with high pressure pumps and tend to last longer and typically have fewer maintenance requirements.

The charts illustrates that I-MAXX Cleaning Technology is far and away the best choice for touch free wash systemsoffering advantages that high pressure and even Hi-Impact machines are incapable of offering.

I-MAXX Cleaning Technology A Summary
I-MAXX Cleaning Technology is a break-through process that offers both the car wash operator and the car wash customer the optimum car wash.

The I-MAXX system incorporates many technical advances that lead to a markedly increased impingement of a vehicles entire wash surface while retaining speed and efficiency. I-MAXX Cleaning Technology utilizes few moving parts and pieces, increasing the reliability and uptime expected from Ryko vehicle wash systems. Reduced energy consumption and less wear and tear on the delivery system help the I-MAXX Cleaning Technology increase your uptime and your bottom line.
