Petit Patented Car Wash Technology

Innovation, innovation, innovation! 

Nothing says Petit more than our state-of-the-art auto wash equipment and our innovation in engineering. It's what gives us the reputation of having the best car wash equipment on the market. 


We know that when we mention the word innovation in the car wash industry that you might see some eye-rolling. The word “innovation” has turned into a buzzword whose application is so broad that you cannot attend a car wash tradeshow without hearing it a hundred times. But even though the term has become repetitive, innovation is critical in our modern industry, and especially critical here at Petit Auto Wash Equipment. That’s why we use a clear and useful definition for our innovation. 


When we talk about innovation at Petit, we’re talking about engineering excellence. We're talking about the creative use of technology while using durable components designed to withstand the harsh car wash environment. When we say innovation, we mean that we work to deliver great car wash products that radically improve profitability. At Petit, innovations are our great ideas, executed brilliantly and engineered to precision to the benefit of our customers. That’s what we mean when we say innovation.
