    Lift Master doors

    Check my post in "How I fixed this problem" about IBA doors and see if it applies to your pdq. If your pdq sends a stop signal first then a open close signal eliminate the stop signal being sent.

    Kleenrite shipping

    Just a heads up on a way to save money on the KR shipping. I just placed a small order and checked freight. If I ship it to my house $17.17 but if I put a commercial wash location address on it only $10. 70% more to ship to your house vs. your wash location.

    Vac nozzles

    I drill a few small holes above the cleaning end. Aluminum vac nozzles already have them. This is supposed to increase the suction

    Logo Design

    I went through different Font types until I found one I liked. I used the Font and did my own layout using a early form of word processor 25 years ago and still use it today. I followed McDonalds colors that were said to be the most friendly at the time to customers, Yellow, red and blue. Then I...

    Extra Air compressor

    I have a small backup compressor that I can wheel around to any location. Usually a air compressor problem is in compressor head and not the tank. My backup is a small cambell/Hausfiled I think with a small tank. I just plumb it into the large compressors tank and have never had a problem with...

    IBA door problems

    We have ran into this problem a couple of times now on our RYKO door controls and it may also effect other brands of IBAs. Ryko always sends out a momentary stop signal first and then a open or close signal to the bay doors. On some new door openers this temp. stop signal can confuse the door...

    Dual injecting methanol and foam brush soap

    Years ago I starting putting up signs saying foam brush might not work in freezing conditions. 99% of the time they still do work but when they did freeze people always wanted all of their money back. No calls since I put the signs up.

    Foam brush heads

    I am still waiting on the metal head Erie NOGshair brushes. I did get 4 more of the Nog hair brushes in from Kleenrite. 3 of the 4 had been used by someone who had stripped the threads and some of the bristles were smooshed so they had been used a while. KR said they must have come from the MFG...

    Chemical injection above bay instead of at pump?

    All of my washes inject the chemicals above the bay including the spot free rinse. High pressure soap is still injected in pump room. Use stainless steel instead of brass if you do this. Most car washes are set up like this.

    Foam brush heads

    I see Erie now makes a metal head synthetic brush bristle like a Noghair for around $25. I am going to try some of them. I have been happy with the Noghair but have seen a couple of broken plastic head on them when people use them like hammers.

    Foamy Brush (Winter)

    10% methanol and 90% soap\water is good to 25, 20% methanol good to 10 degrees, 30% good to 0,40% good to -20. This is from a bell curve mixing chart i found years ago. I generally do not mix over 20% and only add more on the few nights we get around 0 or less. Do not substitute straight...
