    Mounting Lexan Bay Signs

    Mep & Ric, Am I missing something --- what if you need to take the sign down for whatever reason? Does that mean the tape can be somehow removed without ruining what it is sticking to? MJ

    credit card acceptors for a low volume site

    Some really should give an ATMs path at least a thought! Mel & others, We chose to go the owning an ATM route since April of this year with it more than meeting our expectations in terms of another source of income & convenience for the customers. It gives out 5 dollar bills & they can also...

    Removing concrete nail anchors

    Wash-it, Do you happen to remember who tends to carry this specific anchor? Like Ace Hardware or Lowes? MJ

    3D printing

    From most people's perspective I would think that has more than just novelty use. When I was at the Sands Exposition Center back in December of 2007 at the AutoDesk University while we were trying desperately to get our dog wash to take shape with the somewhat of a sculpting process --- I...

    Removing concrete nail anchors

    Diamond, The mushroom head style? We just use a sharp chisel & get underneath the head & they usually can be pulled out then. They really aren't that strong. "slam baam thank you ma'am" installers like them --- but I think they are a pain for the trooper who will be around for the long term...

    Any machinists here?

    Pat & others, http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=6703438&siteID=123112 The above free AutoCAD viewer will allow you to plot to a 1:1 scale to system printer which is any printer you use. Units would have to be set. Then the tracing could happen like it says --- from there a good...

    High Speed Extractors for terry towels?

    Tunnel & Detail Shop Extractor Use? I am surprised that no tunnel or detail people have not commented on the possible value of leaving the towels with just the right dampness with the over 1700 rpm extractors. Maybe there is no longer any use for them in that setting? I agree that...

    High Speed Extractors for terry towels?

    This probably applies more to the tunnels because that is is where I believe they were used & maybe still are ---- anyway I decided to post in the general discussion area. We are laying the ground work for rebuilding 2 Bock Model 255s & 1 larger Bock Model 505 or 605 Extractor. Do any of you...

    Remember

    Bill & others, The "remember me" youtube reflects something that needs reflecting on with the 4th of July approaching. Our Armed Forces are often more than just protecting us from terrorists & the evil agressiveness of some world leaders. Seeing over 1500 Nat'l Guardsmen leave their jobs &...

    Dollar Coins

    Duane, The dollar coin transition is on the front burner of most laundromat owners like myself. It seems the main problem is that the mainstream laundry equipment manufacturers still seem to think that customers enjoy staying on the quarter only. Quarter preference has not been my experience...

    Dollar Coins

    Jimt, I would have asked "who told them that"? It is very unlikely that the US Mint or our leaders will let that happen --- unless they are listening to some really weird input. I assume they were referring to the "color" because there is no gold in them other than color as far as I know...

    Dollar Coins

    free shipping & credit card use was & is occurring Mep001, JimR, & others, They say shipping charge on the US Mint website --- but they are actually always shipped free. You can call them to verify the current status on the free shipping. They also allow you to pay with your credit card &...

    Dollar Coins

    JimR, As to what Mep001 said. Even if your local banks make it difficult to get GOLD dollar coins you can order even large quantities at no charge from the US Mint from their website. MJ

    Paraplate Timer - Going nutty

    Earl, We adapted our front plates on our Doyle Vacs to use Dixmor --- eliminated the intermittent troubles like you described. We found that the Infinitec from KleenRite sometimes developed an intermittent "not shutting off" until using a breaker reset. This problem would develop even with us...

    Warsaw

    BriteAuto, We have been using it for over a year & we have had good experience with it over many others that we tried. I did notice the other day a customer apparently did not rinse the excess off enough & tried to dry his vehicle with one of our vended microfiber towels & showed me how the...

    Installing FRP on walls

    Drier climates & where 2 doors on not needed during the winter time trapping more moisture --- seems to be a factor in being able to use galvanized or plated steel of anything anywhere in the bays. MJ

    Proximity Switches Quality vs price

    We have an in house project going on that will require me to order about 12 - 3 wire shielded cable PNP 18 mm proximity switches. Can any of my car wash friends share with me your experiences of quality vs price when it comes to brands of proximity switches. Right now I am leaning towards...

    Once in awhile you get to kick butt.

    Bill, The part where the attorney said "It is a symptom of a larger problem" from my perpective is true. They had the proper documents & happened to find a good attorney who focused on the facts. Without getting into details --- I saw a really bad situation with some similarities where an...
