Swivel booms
An overhead swivel boom keeps the high pressure hose off the floor and makes it easier to move around a vehicle. It helps prevent the hose from catching on mirrors and mud flaps. The boom requires a suitable structural beam or concrete ceiling for mounting and is connected to the machine during installation.
Foamers for car washes
A foamer coats the vehicle in pre-wash foam before pressure cleaning. Our stainless steel foaming unit can serve two wash bays and requires an air compressor and a water connection within one metre of the unit. You can also find lances, nozzles, hoses, gun holders and couplings in our pressure washer accessories range, with pre-wash products, shampoos and finishing products under car wash chemicals.
Cloths, brushes and buckets
The hand tools and consumables a wash bay works through, for washing and finishing by hand, are grouped under car detailing equipment: wash mitts and sponges, microfibre cloths, chamois and drying towels, brushes, buckets and grit guards.

What car wash accessories are needed in a wash bay?
Useful accessories include an overhead swivel boom, a foamer or foam lance, high pressure hoses, lances, nozzles, gun holders and couplings. The right combination depends on your machine and wash bay layout. Nozzles must be matched to the machine’s pressure and flow rate. Browse our pressure washer accessories for the available options.
