PDQ

PDQ in-bay automatics give owners and distributors a more useful comparison than a one-style lineup. With a proven touchless option and a proven soft-touch option under one brand, PDQ helps operators choose the wash direction that best fits their site, customer expectations, and maintenance preferences.

With CK Auto Wash Supply, you can review the PDQ lineup in one place and compare the system that best matches your bay layout, car count goals, labor model, and long-term operating strategy.

PDQ Comparison Highlights

Why owners choose touchless or soft-touch in the PDQ lineup.

PDQ gives operators a cleaner decision path: choose the touchless direction when uptime and lower-contact maintenance matter most, or choose the soft-touch direction when friction cleaning power and customer-visible wash performance lead the conversation.

Why owners choose touchless

LaserWash 360 Plus is the stronger fit when owners want a premium touchless story with easier day-to-day maintenance expectations and broad vehicle compatibility.

  • Strong touchless wash quality without friction contact on the vehicle surface.
  • Efficient throughput and a practical fit for high-turn in-bay sites.
  • Monitoring and configuration tools help reduce unnecessary site visits.
  • A cleaner maintenance story for operators who want fewer moving wash-media decisions.

Why owners choose soft-touch

Tandem Surfline is the stronger fit when owners want a more visible friction-cleaning story, open-bay presentation, and high service flexibility in the in-bay automatic format.

  • Open-bay overhead design creates a more inviting and easier-to-use wash bay.
  • Fast, efficient process supports strong throughput and repeat visits.
  • Low water and chemical use support a stronger operating story.
  • Optional services and add-ons help shape a higher-value wash package.
