The cost of the service for installation and dismantling of car wheels at KOLOBOX depends on their radius (from R13 to R20+).
Technological washing of car wheels is a process of automatically cleaning tires and wheels from dirt, snow, and chemicals in a special chamber.
What determines the need for technological wheel washing?
This type of washing is determined not only by the driver’s desire to keep every element of his car clean, but by the need for high-quality implementation of the technological process.
Before carrying out the balancing service in the KOLOBOX service, it is definitely recommended to go through this wash, because... high-quality cleaning plays an important role during balancing work. Contaminants and even dust settle on the surface of the wheel, creating additional weight to certain parts of the tire. Determining the location of additional weights will not be accurate without first carrying out a technological wheel wash. Incorrect results of the balancing process will become clear after subsequent car washing, which will leave an unpleasant aftertaste from this service. At the same time, the master carried out the balancing correctly, but it was the remains of dirt, snow, and moisture that influenced the result.
What are the positive aspects of technological washing?
The main goal of providing this service is to improve the quality of KOLOBOX service for clients. Let's look at the main advantages of technological cleaning of a car wheel:
- Thanks to this process, balancing takes place while meeting all the requirements necessary for a quality result.
- Finding minor mechanical damage and scratches is possible only after technological washing.
- Upon completion of washing in a special chamber, the client receives a cleaned set of wheels (if they are replaced seasonally) in individual packaging for the best storage during the off-season. This helps extend the service life and quality of the car tire and wheel. Convenience also lies in the absence of contamination of the interior or luggage compartment when transporting removed, uncleaned wheels.
For tire fitting work and car tire balancing, a technological wash is a mandatory service, without which no guarantee is provided for the results of the services provided. This type of cleaning contributes to the best outcome of all services provided to the wheels of the car, and also gives the tires and wheels a new, fresh look without a single trace of dirt.

Foam nozzle for touchless washing or foam generator
This is what an Italian foam nozzle for contactless washing looks like, disassembled
There are two main options for touchless washing:
- use of a foam generator;
- use of a foam nozzle for contactless washing.
What is the difference between a foam generator and a foam nozzle and which is better?
- The foam generator is more expensive - its cost is approximately 5 - 10 times more than the cost of the foam nozzle.
- The foam generator requires a compressor.
- The foam generator is more suitable for commercial purposes; it is not practical to use it at home.
Both of these devices are not included in the mini-wash kit and must be purchased separately. Without them, it is impossible to carry out a contactless wash, because they are the ones who produce the foam.
Here the foam nozzle is attached to the gun
Let's look at the principle of foam formation using an Italian foam nozzle for car shampoo:
- A special car shampoo is poured into the nozzle and water is added in the required proportion. The ratio of shampoo and water is approximately 2.5-3 volumes of water for 1 volume of car shampoo;
- the nozzle is connected to the pistol sprayer of the mini-wash;
- When the high-pressure mini washer is turned on, it creates a high-pressure air stream in the gun, which sucks shampoo from the tank. The shampoo is mixed with water and this emulsion, as it exits the gun, breaks into a “tablet”, which causes splashing on the surface of the car. A “tablet” is a pressed metal mesh.
This is what the nozzle tablets look like
For home use, using a foam nozzle for a high-pressure apparatus (HPR) is the best choice.
This is what a foam generator that requires a compressor looks like
The foam generator is a large container from 25 to 100 liters, into which the reagent or car shampoo is poured and water is added in the required proportion in accordance with the instructions for using the reagent or shampoo. A special generator gun can have from one to four nozzles that produce foam. The air pressure supplied to the gun nozzles from the compressor must be more than 6 bar. The use of several nozzles allows you to increase the productivity of the foam generator and speed up the process of contactless cleaning. Foam generators are more effective in commercial car washes, where cleaning is carried out in parallel at several workstations and in large volumes. A foam generator requires a compressor.
The foam nozzle for contactless washing is equipped with its own special container for diluting foam shampoos in the required proportions. The proportions of water and shampoo may vary depending on the water used and how dirty the car is. Detailed information about the ratio of solution components is provided in the instructions for use of car shampoo.
Note: It is important not to confuse and pour car shampoo into the container for the nozzle, and not into the mini-wash tank, and not to feed the solution into the mini-wash through the suction hose. Such actions will lead to failure of the mini washer. Foam nozzles are much simpler in design and use than foam generators. In addition, unlike foam generators, they do not require any additional equipment for their operation and, in addition, they do not need to be adjusted to a specific compressor pressure.
Foam nozzles are produced by the same companies that produce mini washers. Each company makes them differently. Foam nozzles for shampoo made in Italy are considered the best. They are suitable for almost all types of mini-washers, in particular for Karcher. In terms of production quality and foam density, they are also considered the best nozzles. Italian foam nozzles, absolutely identical in design and material used, are produced by two different companies RA and Idrobase.

The set of Italian foam nozzle for contactless washing includes:
- one-liter plastic bottle;
- suction tube;
- spray foam.
Assembling the foam is not difficult even for a child:
- the brass foam sprayer with plastic regulators is removed from the box;
- a suction tube is put on the fitting at the bottom of the sprayer;
- Foam shampoo is poured into a one-liter plastic bottle, and the bottle with car shampoo is screwed to the fitting cap with a tube installed. The concentration of the shampoo is selected in accordance with the instructions for its use.
In principle, after this, the foam nozzle for washing is ready for use and can be used. But the sprayer has two plastic adjustment knobs:
- The upper thumbwheel regulator for supplying car shampoo to the mixing chamber of the sprayer is designed to adjust the density of the foam at the outlet. It is a micrometric screw with a nozzle, which, when tightened, reduces the opening of the fitting. Complete closure of the hole is not provided;
- The front cylindrical foam jet shape control is a duck bill type flow distributor that allows you to transform a simple jet into a vertical fan with an opening angle of up to 40 degrees, which regulates the amount of foam.
The plastic bottle of the nozzle is made of a material that is particularly resistant to chemicals and has high mechanical strength.
