I installed a new washworld Razor a few months ago and it has been running well and doing a pretty good job of washing vehicles. I do find it irratating that it doesn't have as much flexability as I would like programming wise. I wish every pass had the ability to add a time delay before the next pass on a per pass basis. It has generic time delays such as delay after hi pressure rinse, delay after presoak, etc. My issue is I run 2 HP rinse passes back to back and when I add a time delay for HP rinse it stops and sits between the 2 HP rinse passes which waste tons of time and water. My second issue, it has a mirror detailer which tilts the arch to clean the back of the mirrors. You can set the mirror detailer for any pass. I wish I could use the mirror detailer for the second HP rinse pass and not the first HP rinse pass. If I can't its pretty much useless to me, because if I use the mirror detailer on both HP passes it doesn't rinse the vehicle as well. Last of all I have an inbay dryer. The machine sends the next vehicle into the bay while the car ahead of it is in the dryer. I see people get very upset when they get the light to enter the bay and the car in front of them is still in the bay. Just wondered if anyone else found the wash package programming limited? It would be nice if washworld could add some more flexability in their next software version.

Sounds like what you want should be easy to program. Have you contacted Washworld yet? What do they say?

Have you talked directly to WashWorld about it? I'm sure they would like to hear your feedback. Call Rick Lancelle in tech support. He's very helpful.

Yes, I have contacted washworld about these issues. They told me most of these issues are not changable. They suggested adding a timer to the dryer to block the stop eyes to keep the machine from returning home while a car is in the dryer. I find that to be a lot of extra wiring and expense for something that could be fixed with a simple PLC program change. It seems they don't want to make any kind of special changes to their standard software. I voiced my opinion. Hopefully someone is listening and some of these changes will be in newer software versions.

Have you tried "Soaking" after your pass? That will give you a time delay. I also just discovered that although my software in the Washworld panel doesn't allow it but the Washview Remote on my computer allows me to set up up to 20 passes.
Hope that helped.Cheers.

I am trying to get rid of a time delay on my second high pressure pass, not add one. I have 2 high pressure rinse passes back to back where I want the machine to run a continous pass around the car without stopping.
