**Differences Between Reciprocating and Tunnel Car Wash Machines**

        1. **Washing Method**  

        - In a reciprocating car wash machine, the vehicle remains stationary in a designated spot while the machine moves back and forth along a track to clean the car.  

        - In a tunnel car wash machine, the vehicle is placed on a conveyor belt, set to neutral gear, and pulled through the machine. The machine remains stationary while the car passes through different stages, including rinsing, foam cleaning, water wax application, and air drying.  

        2. **Washing Efficiency**  

        - Reciprocating car wash machines can only clean one car at a time. After washing, the vehicle must exit the washing area before the next car can enter.  

        - Tunnel car wash machines allow continuous cleaning as cars move through the system. While one car is being washed, the next can already be positioned on the conveyor belt, resulting in higher efficiency.  

        - Generally, reciprocating machines are suitable for washing fewer than 200 cars per day, while tunnel machines are better for higher volumes.  

        3. **Space Requirements**  

        - Reciprocating car wash machines are compact and can be installed indoors or outdoors. After washing, the vehicle can exit by reversing, offering greater flexibility in site selection.  

        - Tunnel car wash machines require more space due to their built-in canopy and are typically installed outdoors. Vehicles must enter from one side and exit from the other, so the site must have unobstructed access on both ends.
