The Laboratory Simulated Car Wash Tester is a specialized testing device designed to replicate automatic car wash tunnel conditions under laboratory settings. Through rotating brushes, controllable specimen movement, and spraying cleaning media containing synthetic dirt, the equipment applies repeated mechanical stress to painted surfaces, protective films, and plastic components. It evaluates materials’ scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, and appearance changes under simulated car wash processes.
Application
Based on the application of similar devices in automotive coating, surface materials, and full vehicle component testing, this equipment is suitable for:
Wash durability testing of organic coatings on vehicles and components
Scratch resistance evaluation of automotive clear coats, color coatings, and multilayer coating systems
Assessment of paint protection films (PPF) wash resistance and appearance retention
Abrasion testing of plastic exterior parts (bumpers, trims, covers)
Evaluation of functional coatings applied on metal or plastic substrates
R&D verification and quality control of surface materials under simulated car wash tunnel conditions
Standards
The tester is designed to meet and execute the following standards:
ISO 20566:2021 – Paints and varnishes – Determination using laboratory-scale car wash machines
ISO 13076 – Visual assessment of coating surface appearance
ISO 2813 – Measurement of gloss of coatings
ISO 13803 – Determination of coating haze
ISO 7724 – Color measurement and evaluation of color differences
