    LED lighting upgrades

    There used to be LED retrofits that go directly into the fixtures, but I'm sure it would be cheaper to just replace them. I have the 60 watt version of these and have put them in a couple other washes. With just two per bay they're really bright, not quite daylight bright but definitely more...

    It’s official!

    If something can be tested, you should do so and mark it as working, or if it's repairable mark it with what's wrong. If it's questionable and not expensive, throw it out. You will save yourself a LOT of time and headache if you aren't searching through junk with a bay down hoping something in...

    Wall cleaner and signs?

    I couldn't find anyone local that would do a decent job for a reasonable price, so I found someone to order from online. They're pretty good, except they're sloppy (They get dirt between the layers and they can't get their equipment adjusted to cut a round hole. I recently found a company in a...

    Vending machine- worth replacing or repair

    You can order scratch-resistant Lexan from tapplastics.com. If you decide to try and polish it, try Blue Magic metal polish cream. It's so fine an abrasive it will shine up old plexiglass/Lexan.

    Rinse water problem :/

    The guy I mentioned above ran all the lines inside solid PVC pipe the entire run, so you can imagine how bad a job that was.

    Paloma Heaters

    PH112-24M was the Kleen-Rite part number, fits '85 and newer PH-24M heaters. It doesn't pull up on their site. 00-82415A should be the manufacturer part number.

    Rinse water problem :/

    I've seen it twice. Both times, switching to wax briefly would knock the soap out of the lines, then it would rinse clear. IIRC your wax is low pressure so that wouldn't work for you. The solution in both cases was running new high pressure lines. Also in both cases the equipment was built...

    It’s official!

    My friend/business partner bought a car wash in July. The seller did his best to screw my friend, but he knew I was involved and, knowing my background, admitted to a lot of stuff. He said "I don't know why anyone wants more than foam brush and rinse, that's all they use anyway." That's about...

    Difference in Dixmor LED6 and LED7 Timer

    AFAIK the LED7 can only count up in time, the LED6 can display either the time or actual money spent. I can check a timer today, the latest manual does not show a setting to display money. https://www.dixmor.com/TIMER%20PDF/LED7%20V7.33.pdf https://www.dixmor.com/TIMER%20PDF/LED6%20INSTR.pdf

    Credit card processing for IBA

    IIRC when the controller is modified, it's just relocated and a separate display holder with a cable is mounted behind the opening.

    Difference in Dixmor LED6 and LED7 Timer

    This may be a recent change - as of June 2019 only the LED6 could count up in cash. I'm not sure I like that feature anyway. Other than that, they have the same functionality. I'd recommend the LED6 for retrofit into Coleman equipment because you only have to change the bracket. FWIW I've...

    Self Made Foamers

    I make my foamers with the nylon scrubbers - the stainless steel ones I tried aren't tight enough and had almost no effect, which I also made as the following. I cut a ring of PVC about 3/4" long (A little less than half the glue depth of the cap fitting), I use a hole saw to cut disks out of a...

    theft device used on Hamilton changers

    It shouldn't be possible. The power through the payout switch to the counter is always hot, either when the motor is running or all the time. Either that or the counter is hot all the time and the switch closes the circuit to common. It's not another government conspiracy to allow "certain...

    Need replacement of my burnt Carwash

    This forum isn't for enthusiasts. And show me where I've "bashed" anyone. I didn't accuse you, I pointed out the fact that you are. I have the proof.

    Need replacement of my burnt Carwash

    You twist literally everything I say into something it's not. The only advice you've given here is on people buying new equipment. That's specifically what I'm talking about. You're acting like a child. Just stop posting if you don't like how "toxic" this forum is.

    Need replacement of my burnt Carwash

    You don't have the experience to recommend to someone where to spend a quarter million dollars. This forum is for professionals; owners, operators, technicians with years of hands-on experience, not kids who want to play-act. Your input is not appropriate.
