Great thread. Anybody else get this XR7?

What a great template to work from! It is a good way to figure out which model suits you best!

Josh, Do you have any good videos showing dirty cars going into the wash and then coming out clean. I have customers sceptical about how well an XR-7 would clean. All sales videos show clean cars in so clean cars out!

I can’t see how any of those machines would clean any differently from one to the other. If you had an edge, razor, or Xr7 - say all with the same chemical and amount of chemical and hp passes and dwell, the result should be the same. The difference - as stated before- is the look, options, throughput, etc. of these machines.
I understand as a salesman you would want to be able to show a customer dirty in/clean out in a video, but I would think customers could see the machine doesn’t size the car any differently, and it’s still an inverted L with with the same pump and application method, so the basic clean in one would equal the other.

Totally agree, but we have no Razors at all in the UK or Ireland so without dirty car videos we are screwed!

On youtube there are quite a lot of videos of Razors but most are filmed inside the vehicle. I will reach out to these guys filming them to do a before and after comparison and see if they will film outside the vehicle.

The folks that build the touchless iba’s need to show some examples similar to this:
I know it’s a tunnel, but this is what you can do with an unattended touchless machine. Dirt/mud like this and winter salt is where these machines excel.
I’d have to prep this for a couple of minutes before I’d let it in my friction tunnel. And I’m sure the same would be true for most friction IBA’s unless they have some type of hp prewash pass.

They easily just used 1000+ gallons of recycled water to rinse that vehicle.

I know. That conveyor speed was at a crawl.
Why would the CPD change from unit to unit? I would think they would all be the same speed if the packages are the same? Of course if the wash packages change that would change the time.

I like the new electrical/HP/chemical manifold system WashWorld came out with to make those runs cleaner looking and easier to maintain.

Pricing can be quite deceptive. By the time you put options on it, have it shipped to you, installed and pay sales tax, you are well north of there. Istobal has an automatic that starts under 50K, but it's the same thing.

That is our Through Wall Stainless Steel Bulkhead Manifold. It is an option that can be chosen for any Razor machines.I wonder when that came out? My razor edge was installed in December and I didn't get those

It is down to the ability to add things like hyper flex which can increase the cpd. I do not think the XR-7 can do this. I guess if you predict a higher cpd is needed for your site you then switch to an even faster machine like an Oasis xp or Typhoon.
