Two Step Cleaning Process
The vortex uses Magic Wand’s patented two step chemical process. The first step is to apply a low-pH prespray that loosens dirt and road film. The next step is to apply a high-pH soap that penetrates and suspends the dirt so it can easily be rinsed away.

Undercarriage Spray
As the car enters the bay, high powered jets of water are directed to the underbody of the vehicle, removing mud, dirt and salt that endanger the life of the chassis.

Sign Package
Our new Vortex sign package helps to market optional upgrades for increased revenue and is a standard part of the system.

Tri-Foam
A foam blanket completely envelops the vehicle’s exterior - for a total cleaning job. The Trifoam process can be done as a foam conditioner or a foam wax. (Optional)

High Pressure Rinse
During the rinse pass the Vortex nozzles systematically rinse foam , dirt, dust, and devastating salt from the body of the vehicle.
