  • [Recorded July 2012] First of all, I discovered that Mark VII is NOT a car wash model made by Ryko. Mark VII is actually an independent German company. If you can't tell, this is the first one I've been through. I shot this video on a recent trip I made to St. Louis. Follow me on:

    oh dear lord this thing brings back bad memories. We were on a road trip, and ended up using a touchless wash for the first time ever. The real problem was that the bay was VERY grim looking and poorly lit. Put two and two together and well... worked great, scared the crap out of us.
    Apparently they've renovated the place since and switched to a Razor 3 (AND A BAY THAT AT LEAST HAS SIDE WINDOWS NOW)

    For some strange reason, this car wash reminds me of the eighties television game show, "Press Your Luck". Watch out for those "Whammies"!

    Mark VII is a subsidiary of WashTec AG,so the dryer was probably from an older Ryko machine.

    Mark VII had the Vortex Driers found on the 98. This place could have had a Ryko, and they left the driers.

    The panel on the dryer says " Ultra Sonic Wash by Ryko". This means that it was bought used from a US 2001 OHD machine, like the one you filmed in Lake Ozark. The bay didn't use to have a US 2001 OHD, because there aren't any signs that there was an overhead rail.

    Pretty much everything it does even when it goes back for that presoak and when it does an empty pass is pretty normal. It rolls back briefly to switch nozzles for different angles.

    Mark VII was very popular where I lived in the late 90s... but this design is a bit different than those were. I don't think any of those from back then are still in use today.

    Nowadays, most mark vii car wash systems ether have the Aqua dry dryer 99% of the time, or the vortex drop down dryer 1% of the time. both dryer types are made by the mark vii company.

      The Triangle shaped drop down Vortex dryers are basically extinct. I don’t even know if there’s any left. Although I filmed a Mark VII with the ultra rare off board Top nozzle Vortex dryers which are basically extinct as well.

    We used one of these once. I wonder if Mark vii has a deal with ryko for dryers in the US. Maybe because the dryers that mark vii dryers are not compatible with the us. Just a guess. Ryko is a favorite of mine to? Ate they your favorite company?
