The flagships of Prowash Australia’s leading-edge car wash products are the PDQ LaserWash® 4000 Touchfree Automatic car wash, and the newly-released LaserWash® M5 and MaxAir Dryer™.

Located in Green Bay, Wisconsin, PDQ Manufacturing, Inc. has defined the car wash industry with frictionless technology. PDQ has been an operator-driven company since its inception. Its founder, William "Red" Lewis, began as an operator in 1967 and, never satisfied with the wash equipment of the times, eventually designed and built his own versions of the components.  In 1984, he formed Carefree Vehicle Wash Equipment, teaming with touch-free pioneer Forrest Burton to produce the legendary Burton Follower® Arch - the first robotic arch to closely follow the contours and shape of any vehicle.

By 1985, they developed a complete line of touch-free car wash equipment under the name of Carefree.  Shortly thereafter, Red expanded this manufacturing business and introduced the LaserWash® product line. At around this time, Carefree changed its company name to PDQ, reflecting the company’s highest standards in Performance, Dependability, and Quality. 

Today, PDQ brands include LaserWash® In-Bay Automatics, MaxAir™ Dryers, Access® Customer Management Systems, and SpectraWash® Conveyorized Tunnel Systems.  The redevelopment of the Laserwash® 4000 in 2005 has precipitated the creation of the Laserwash® M5 which, with its sleek design and advanced wash technology, is sure to set the pace in Automatic Touchfree washing in Australia.

Both the Laserwash® 4000 & M5 are sold with an Anztec Entry System, which allows customers to insert notes, coins and/or tokens and select the desired wash from a wash menu - typically 2 or 3 wash options, eg. Express, Deluxe and Ultimate. Customers can also receive a receipt for tax purposes, which is an encouragement for business.
