provides large vehicle washing systems. “We at Awash,

the most efficient way to wash their vehicles”.
Does Washing Your Vehicles Affect Recruitment?
What impact does a CLEAN motor coach or school bus have on your customers and
employees? Do you have a clean and green strategy toward your image? If your answer is
no, keep reading to understand the impact thatthis area may have on your future.
Employment of bus drivers is projected to grow 13% from 2010 to 2020, about as fast as the
average for all occupations. Job opportunities should be favorable, especially for school bus
drivers as school enrollment grows. (SOURCE: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employment
Projections program)
When your drivers come to work, are their buses clean? The positive impact on employees
when the company shows they take care of the vehicles by having a safe, clean vehicle to
drive every day will go a long way. Which company in the future do you believe will attract
and retain the best drivers?
Today, more than ever, we hear from customers that are purchasing automated wash
systems that “these allow our employees to wash their vehicles and show their pride. Some of
our drivers are very passionate about our company vehicles and by having the ability to wash
every day, we believe this helps to lower driver turnover than the average company.”
The biggest issue for those that do wash regularly is the frustration of oxidation on the paint
and decals. By never brushing while you wash, your paint and decals will build up with the
soap film that eventually obscures your graphics and actually hinders your image. A dirty
image is one thing, but a worn out graphic can be even worse. This happens by continually
spraying soaps and chemicals and never removing that film. Touchless spray can remove dirt
and grit, but not that fine dirt film and just like in your shower at home, soap scum eventually
builds up over the paint and oxidizes any metal. Brush that paint and watch it shine is our
suggestion.
There are many systems and machinery types as well as brush materials that you need to
consider. We are here to help solve your issues and educate you on what system will best suit
your needs. Connect with me, Jack Jackson – President, Awash Systems Corp. “We solve
vehicle washing issues where no one else can.” jackjackson@awashsystems.com.

“We have had The
PowerbrusH2O
system since 2001
and it is the most
trouble free piece of
equipment I have
ever used. It is the
best value of all the
equipment in my
shop. The only thing
more consistent is a
block of concrete.”
