Also, Ive talked to Sonny's and they say this is the first their hearing of any problems, however it is not just my site experiencing this, but my sister site we have across town as well. Ive been trying all week and last week to get in touch with Simoniz, however they will not return my calls...

Is anyone using Simoniz Tire Shine Pads that is having problems with them shredding recently? So a few months back it looks like Simoniz changed the type of material they are using for pads, as well as discontinued making the wedge and flat face pads. Anyways, since then i am going through...

I do regular PM's daily/weekly/monthly ect. based around a maintenance log from Sonny's. However as far as PM's done by an outside company that usually get done once per month, ours are done once every 4 months.

The company definitely can go to fresh water on the pump. To be honest, they dont know a thing about the carwash. I was dropped into the position and had to learn on the fly basically. It all comes down to money. They dont want to replace anything until it breaks, and im sure you all know...

ok, well found no leaks anywhere. so contacted sonny's who put me in touch with Arimitsu. I have to tear the pump apart. They think there may be debris caught in one of the valves. doesnt surprise me the least because the company has reclaim water hooked up to the pump and refuses to switch...

Roman- We actually replaced everything with stainless. So theres no Galvanized in the system any longer. Also ive checked through the whole system and replaced the bad gun today and there are no leaks anywhere except at the unloader when the system is running. Whenever it pulsates the...

Buda, PM me and let me know what model it is and how much you wanted for it. Thanks.

Alrighty, well looks like my maintenance guy is going to be retracing all the lines he just installed, haha. appreciate the input. ill let ya's know what i find.

Not sure if anyone can help me out here or not. I have an Aramitzu K-508 pump with pulsation dampener and unloader assembly for my prep guns. Recently i ran into an issue where my prep gun furthest away from the pump (about 90ft of line) would pulsate unless you also squeezed the trigger of a...

The only disclaimer i use is Not Responsible For: power antenne's, bug shields, luggage racks, loose chrome and moldings, running boards, glued on spoilers, any non factory item. Although this has hurt me recently because a chrome piece that wasnt loose got caught on a running board... Just...

the only modification ive made is with the pulse switch flag at the rear sproket. Typically it has a single bolt through the center, however if you read an earlier post of mine, my old chain dislodged from the sprocket and snapped it off. Because the bolt sheared off, i was unable to get it...

I am using all sonny's equipment in my tunnel... but ours is a ride through, so customers stay in the vehicle. The reason some will and some wont is due to speed. the sensors are designed to pick up the motion only at a certain speed, so more than likely it happened on ones that had a slightly...

As i run a carwash for a Ford dealership i can tell you that the new models are designed to lock the doors when the wheels are in motion regardless if it is shut off or running. Best thing you can do is if the vehicle has push button start, take key fob out before sending vehicle through, that...

Unfortunately im am not able to operate the system manually. the main switch box is located behind a concrete wall and i cannot visually see the vehicles go through while activating chemicals. We did however manage to get the system up yesterday so i am back open today. We were unable to...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Well i managed to find the original bracket the had been busted off. However i was told i couldnt rig anything up to make it work.... so tomorrow morning my maintenance company is coming in and were pulling the gear box out so he can drill out the busted stud...

So yesterday my chain slipped off the rear sproket and snapped off the metal "flag" that is attached to the sproket for the pulse switch. Got the chain fixed, but now because of the pulse switch not reading we cannot activate any wash cycles and wont be able to get the parts until at least...

Im currently trying to convince the dealership im at to go back to 4 wash packages. In the past we offered 5/8/15/30. 5-basic wash no dry agent, no wheel cleaner, no underbody 8-dry agent, wheel cleaner, and underbody added 15- added triple foam, wax, and tire shine 30- included interior...

Thanks for the input Jeff. Out of curiosity about how many hours are you putting into your tunnel per week? When i first took over as a manager, i was doing exactly as you stated. I was working about 50-55hrs per week, and spending roughly 1/2-2/3 of that time performing maintenance...

I have a question to all the owners/operators. If your an owner, do you keep a fulltime or parttime maintenance tech on payroll, or do you do the maintenance yourself? and in either case do you have a manager on staff? I ask this because the tunnel i am managing wants me handling all...

I recently just had this happen. Car A didnt just lose rollers, their tires were on top of the side rail of the conveyor! I pulled them in, and there were no issues, went into tunnel clean (mine is a front wheel pull), loaded second vehicle into tunnel. first vehicle ended up on conveyor...
