    Adding Triple Foam

    I would say depends on location too. I added it 3.5 years ago to one of that didn't have it, and sometimes when the bays are full you'll see 3-4 cars at a time with their cars covered in it. Chemicals for it last forever. At my other wash the demographics are different and it gets less use...

    Advice on Razor Settings

    Yes, soft water. That is actually the 1st thing that needs to happen or you will never get it right. I raised the water temp by 10 degrees today, but it's raining so we'll see what happens.

    Advice on Razor Settings

    You are correct. I was there today and forgot to up the temp, but dwell time is good and impingement, so I'll up temp then see what chemistry recommendation I get. I feel Chemistry is the biggest of the 4.

    Advice on Razor Settings

    I'm waiting on the rep to get back to me with some things to try, but I am open to trying anything. I did used to have my boiler hotter, but that caused issues with my self serve holding tank hydrominder. I am using a different valve there now that should be able to handle more heat, so I'll...

    Advice on Razor Settings

    I do have the power towers on the sides as you enter. I thought the same thing and had disabled the side blasters on my OHD, but had the same issues cleaning in the same location.

    Advice on Razor Settings

    Thanks for the replies. I've noticed the cleaning issue since my OHD, so it's not new. Wasn't able to tweak as much as the Razor though. Razor only been in for 6 weeks, so not much data, but I've noticed the cleaning issues since day one. Not sure what soil types we have. I am applying at...

    Advice on Razor Settings

    I am not having the best of luck getting cars as clean as I would like using my new Razor. I am using JBS Chemicals for low and Hi PH, the compass series. I wanted to get recommendations on what you guys suggest for dwell time, speed for the presoak passes and any othere relevant settings that...

    Cryptopay- "partial" denial of bad CC

    I've had this issue in the past and called Cryptopay. If it doesn't verify in time, it turns on, then once it hits the server and realized the card doesn't have the minimum $10 hold, it shuts off. Everytime it happens I've asked the customer and the card didn't have $10 on it. Doesn't happen...

    How are you all doing?

    Here it's been dead but that's mostly because of the weather. About 3 weeks straight of mostly rain and the days it doesn't rain, it's been very cold. 10 new express washes opened in the past year here, can't imagine how they will survive. I'm assuming memberships will be the first thing...

    Ryko $99,999 installed special

    What kind of job do you think the wheel blasters do relative to not having them at all? How clean do they actually get rims?

    Mine is RGB, but I have it rotating between green, blue and red with a hold time of about 3 seconds.

    Leds for automatic

    They are on all the time. I have them set to rotate between 3 colors, figured all colors was too much. http://shop.tommycarwash.com/Tommy-Store?search=TSS-210RGB Price has gone up a decent amount since I bought them. KR also sells them.

    Leds for automatic

    I copied another wash and added to 7' color changing strips in my IBA with my Razor. Looks great and I bought these instead of getting the Spectra Ray option as these constantly blanket the car in color as opposed to just when the machine is passing over.

    What kind of soap?

    If this works, I'd switch in a heartbeat. Had no luck with Blendco or JBS getting rid of eyebrow and not happy with how cars come out. My car at least.

    Cryptopay “end charge button” bypass

    I know Mep was able to do so. I have the same issue. Your on door signs are even better than mine, but I've been ok just telling customers to push the correct button when they call. Rarely get a call about being charged the $15, it's always the button or about a preauth. I put black label...

    What do you mean exactly?

    Any way to get a key copy without the key code?

    Lol that's what I assumed, but was hoping they could somehow at least copy the key if I mailed it to them.
