Autowas H2O: Leiden Site

Autowas H2O's Leiden site was the first in the chain to open. Torqx Capital acquired the sites in 2021, and since I visited, rebranded it to Claro Carwash.

The wash tunnel has a 65m long Holz Autowaschtechnik conveyor, making it amongst the longest in Europe. It has 5 and 4 manifold Holz Mega-Power high pressure arches, a volume arch, 2 second generation Holz standard top brush/exit facing 30cm trailing wrap combo units, PE118 and PE135 side washers, PE196 wheel brushes, Maurice Piket Techniek MPT100 wheel blasters, a Holz retractable side to side polish mitter, Christ Aeroflex-1 blower gantry with Aeropro and additional van height blowers, and a second generation Holz drying spec wrap/top brush combo, 2 basket side to side mitter, and front to back mitter for textile drying. Autowas H2O uses Sireon chemicals, and their top wash includes active foam, polish wax, foam wax, wheel cleaning, underbody, and additional textile drying, with R-Coat available as an add-on.
