The machine replaced an old M12 machine and site manager Brett Griffiths, (pictured left with Istobal's UK sales manager for the south, Roger Higley), said: "We've seen a significant increase in customers using the wash compared to the previous three-brush machine. Revenues have increased and some weeks have been as high as £2,000.

"We can offer a range of high-specification programmes including triple foam and high-pressure pre-wash, but because the machine is faster we can increase throughput and charge more too."

Managing director Huw Griffiths said he expected to see a full return on investment within six months: "Even though the car wash cost more than a standard unit, it will pay for itself a lot quicker."

Istobal is also trialling a new 'text2mail' service, which gives customers access to a digital version of its latest catalogue by email within 60 seconds of making a request.
