Powerful Performance. Exceptional Cleaning. Built for Long-Term Reliability.
A clean vehicle isn’t just about high-pressure water — it’s about directing that cleaning power where it’s needed most.
The Nexus Crossfire features an advanced spray array that includes:
- 7 patented F5 orbital heads

- Hard-to-reach body lines
The result is a cleaner vehicle with every wash.
F5 Unicorn Head
Mounted on top of the gantry, the F5 Unicorn head is specifically designed to thoroughly clean the windshield and upper front surfaces of the vehicle.
This additional cleaning coverage helps remove insects, road film and stubborn debris from one of the most visible areas of the vehicle.
Bug-a-Boo Technology
These specialized cleaning heads are angled to target:
- Front bumpers
- Rear bumpers
- Vehicle grilles
- License plate recesses

These areas are often missed by traditional automatic wash equipment but receive focused attention with the Crossfire.
