    Petit 360i wheel applicators.

    Thanks APW, do you know the model and capacity of the two tankless hot water heaters that you’re using? I’m configuring a Petit that’s similarly equipped. Does your Tri foam/rain bar pass also use hot water? I’m sure that the rain bar and Tri foam running at the same time would use a ton of hot...

    Ceramic coatings

    Which JBS ceramic are you using in your touchless, shine time glaze, protect or dry? low pressure pass or injected into high pressure? Have they managed to add any color or scent to their ceramic? Last time I tried a sample it was colorless and non scented. thanks

    New Tunnel Coming...

    So what’s the point of your counter argument post? That the express model is profitable? That’s bloody obvious. I was offering suggestions for the OP, who runs a self serve IBA to compete with one. They aren’t all run well and some go under when projections don’t pan out. Never said it was on...

    New Tunnel Coming...

    Don’t wait for the hit would be my advice. You have a year head start or more with construction delays. Time to capture your customer base and lock in loyalty. Fix the things that need fixing. Upgrade your pay stations to accept App and/or LPR wash clubs, twin or triple your touchless IBAs and...

    Get a Commander vs paying list for a new gold line. Way more capability for a touch more.

    Petit 360i wheel applicators.

    APW nice Petit. How are you handling heating your presoak passes? Do you have a boiler or a dedicated on demand heater for the 360i? Are you using Quest hyper concentrates for your presoaks? I’m specking up one up now with James. thank you

    nayax vs cryptopay

    That sounds frustrating for sure. I’m all cards, no coin on my vacs so that may help their stability. I do recall mine were a bit of a nightmare to set up. I spent about 3 months trying different firmware versions. Finally found a relatively stable one. Once every couple months I’ll have one...

    nayax vs cryptopay

    That’s crazy. What issues were you having with the Nayax that caused you to replace them? Were they VPOS touch units? My four have been solid for over a year aside from a couple externally wired stop buttons Thanks

    nayax vs cryptopay

    Dencar is the way forward for unattended UWC and credit cards/ cash. They’re still testing their Canadian solution so it may be a while. Reach out to them and tell them Mike from Vancouver referred you and maybe we can speed up development.

    nayax vs cryptopay

    The Nayax VPOS Touch units are pretty much bomb proof. I wondered as well. I have them on all of my vacs and vending machines. (no coin anymore on those) and haven’t touched a Nayax reader in over a year. I’ve replaced a couple externally wired stop buttons though. Necessary to have because...

    Portal TI or Replacement

    Very interested in dencar as well. Did you go with the DPS-S pay station? https://www.dencartechnology.com/products/standard-dps-s-stainless-steel/ How’s the bill recycler? I think I’d like a standard Mars bill acceptor and a coin mech. Did you go with the app and wash clubs as well? Monthly...

    New IBA called Plover

    that’s old info. they provide for up to eight chemical passes. Wish they update their web site soon. I feel like their rep or something :)

    New IBA called Plover

    We will see it in action when it’s installed next month at Clean Planet Car Wash. More vids are said to be coming soon. I think they focused on Payment systems a few years ago.

    New IBA called Plover

    3.5-7min depending on the wash setup. 10-12cph with drying. Not a Petit but not bad at all. the LiDAR scanning with super high resolution 3D scanning allows for very close passes which they say saves about 50% of chemical and water compared to a standard touch free. The bi-annual maintenance...

    Pulling the trigger on Petit

    Any other Petit pics RSmith? What is the name of this wash? I thought all Pettit washes had to have doors? I don’t see any at this wash. thanks
