I have Abus Plus locks on my vacs and when I bought them I was given a couple keys, but he didn't have the key code. I had one break and am down to one and was wondering if there was any way to copy it without the code? I'm assuming the locks came from Jim Coleman since all the vacs are JC...

Here is what I have installed. The large SS spinners are just water, the grey head next to it is for the TC.

Mine is like in the first photo and that's how I like it. When it's too foamy, it's hard to see where you have already cleaned on the car and you end up missing too many areas.

Thanks for the insight. Trying to figure out what it would cost me if I bought this wash since I would be making changes.

I have doors on both of my IBA and overhead heaters and the setup works fine. Even if the heat quits, I'm ok down to about 22 degrees with the doors down. So far not too much trouble out of the doors. I am looking at a wash that instead has no doors and just weeps out of their touch free and...

If someone backs up while the top brush is behind the vechicle, would it just break off, or is there any safety measures that would help. I've had several people move back and forth during a wash in my soft gloss and at least the brushes just move out of the way.

Agree about 3 motor vacs, but you do get the benefit of customers thinking they are getting more suction and getting less time at least. Not sure if that is worth it though. I would put a combo vac instead in a heartbeat.

The way they work is that they ask what you want for an item then mark it up. I think it's 20%.

I've had several people get scared of driving through it. Sometimes someone is there to tell them it's ok, other times they just back out and leave. I did have a nightmare scenario 4 years ago where a customer backed out in the winter. Exit door stayed open since she never left from there and...

That's right, the front and back adjust so no issue with duallys.

Washes Duallys fine. I have a thread here from the past with pictures, I'll look for it.

I bought 2 used Belanger IBA Tire Shine units and they are great. Fraction of the cost of buying new. I charge $3 as an add on and include them in my top wash for $3 extra taking it from $12 to $15

I had a set installed on both of my machines about 3 years ago. I knew going it it wouldn't do much since most people drive in too fast, but wanted to give it a try and offer more that the car waiting would notice. After a couple of years I took them out since all I was doing was wasting tire...

I've had good luck with them, but 2 were driven over in the past year and both most definitely did break. What pissed me off more than the $100 is how hard it was to change them.

I find that if the brushes wear all the way out, then the motor and fuse both blow. I've had to change several motors for that reason. Whenever I try to just check the brushes, they usually still have alot of life left. I have yet to catch one before the motor goes out. Also, it's pretty...

Most towns have a PVA website where you can search by address. Try that.

Thanks guys. I am having lots of water issues and wanted to try installing some of these around the wash. Should I try air dryers as well?

Been reliable I'm assuming? What's that large hole on the front? Viewfinder? Also, are you using the 1/4" or 3/8"?

I don't see a recent thread discussing this, so figured I would start one. I have tons of water in my air lines even though my compressor is always auto draining. I just installed a Razor and noticed that it had 2 water separators on it that auto drained, so it make me want to install some...

Congrats Pat. Let us know how bad you miss it. You are always welcome to come down and holster one of my wands should you get the itch:)
