Notes from the vendor documentation
Graco names car wash directly in the Mongoose market list (oil/gas, mining, agriculture, wastewater, car wash). Both SKUs complete; PVDF vs 316 SST wetted end is the real selection axis for detergent/wax/acid-brightener chemistry.

Mongoose's sophisticated overload protection guards against dead-heading — relevant in a car wash chemical room where solenoid-controlled dosing lines routinely open and close mid-cycle.
PVDF vs. 316 stainless steel isn't a cosmetic choice on the Mongoose — wax, acid-brightener, and detergent chemistries in a car wash chemical room don't all tolerate the same wetted-end material, which is the real reason Graco sells both variants at identical flow and pressure.
