I know exactly what you mean ShinePro. I’m in the second smallest NFL market - Buffalo (the smallest is Green Bay). During a Buffalo Bills game, my street is lined with cars as if there were going to be the biggest 4th of July or Memorial Day block party ever. The streets are absolutely...

Aren’t they selling on Amazon now? Won’t a Prime Membership get you free shipping? Also - judge your price by how many cars you are getting out of a container - not the cost of the container. I understand prices are going up, that is inevitable, but you may be getting a lot for your money...

What brand? what concentration? What vendor? There are a lot of variables to “5 gallons of self serve wax”

You are likely the only person on this forum who owns a leisuwash. That means that you have more knowledge of this machine than anyone else here. You will have to find a resource that has more knowledge about this machine than you (and we) have to answer your questions.

I agree with all of the above posts. I’m sorry for your injury, but climbing ladders, rolling around 55 gallon drums, lifting heavy trash bins and shoveling pits, and contorting your body around tight spots in freezing temperatures, etc. is not user friendly work to many people. The job will...

You could also could consider a rental/fleet wash drive through unit. If you want to keep the labor and offer the full service options, just have one of your employees drive it through. Full serve washes often have employees loading and unloading the cars from the conveyor anyway. I would...

Can you post again or link to it so we can give it another look?

You should be the distributor, Sooner! With all the washes and machines you are buying, I think you are perfect for the job! 😆

If you know who it is, you should contact them. If you don’t know who it is, you should contact the factory. That’s how most of us have to go about fixing issues that we cannot figure out ourselves. Unfortunately, not many people on this forum own the machine you have, so the there probably...

That looks like a pretty rigid piece of trim on the car. It also looks pretty recessed where it would be tough for the wash media to get lodged in there. Are you sure there was not some damage or that it was loose before the wash? Do you have cameras? Does your wash use a closed cell...

Who installed this machine? Maybe they can help you.

You’ll first want to decide if you want a soft touch or touch free machine. You can determine that by looking at your competition, soil conditions and market (or the need/desire of customers) for either method of cleaning. Once you figure that out, you will get a lot of good opinions and...

You will want to be on site more than you may initially think, so be sure to be careful with your radius and make it doable.

A lot of operators use the purclean units. They would be sized to accommodate your quantity of bays. SFR is going to be a lower pressure setting than your typical 1000-1200psi high pressure functions.

I’d recommend purchasing an existing self serve if you want a self serve. Once you do that, then you can see what equipment will be needed, but depending on what is in the wash, you may not may not need various components.

A friend of mine just used this company for some lighting around his home. https://www.superbrightleds.com/

Also - if you get a friction unit, you don’t want the side brushes touching the walls when they are spinning.

And of course you need room for that. Most places I have seen use it as an extra service and if you want every car drier- weather they get the buff n dry or not, you need to do that with chemistry, horsepower and physics.

Good post from liftheavy. Probably the most important piece of info you have is your traffic count and if you are doing cross merchandising with the gas station. You will really known if the site can support a tunnel. It’s a different animal from and IBA.

The beauty is he already has a conveyor. That is golden.
