I have one of the New Dodge Challengers and I am amazed by the number of people who ask if they can take pictures of it before they ever do. I figured that they would just take a picture which I would not mind at all. ALmost everyone has come up and asked first so I guess there is still some...

When Neoglide first came out I was one of the first to convert a Ryko bristle machine over to the Neoglide along with Kevin from Astromatic. Ryko did not yet have retro kits availible for the softgloss. I did have to change gear boxes on all the arms and also reconfigure the counter weight box...

I happened to be at some meetings last week with Bud and passed on the info in this post. He mentioned that India does not allow importing equipment from outside the country so almost anything you want to do will need to be done within the country.

The EPA and California have tested pit dirt many times and classify it as street sweepings. As long as it is dry it is not considered hazardous. If you dry it on your own land they consider that OK.

Some of the posts got me thinking about a solution to this problem. Up here in the cold north people go ice fishing and use a gas powered auger or a hand crank auger to cut through the ice. Either one of these would break up the pit dirt in short order and make it easy to remove.

When you order signs they usually come with strips and you can assemble in any order you like. I just bought a bunch from custom craft that allowed me to put them in the order that I like. I matched them up to my new coin boxes that have 3 rinse selections so that the customer never has to turn...

I have a ringomatic pit trailer that uses a 3 inch hose. On the exhaust side of the gas engine you can hook up a long hose with a metal pipe. The exhaust air of the engine is used to loosen up the dirt by forcing air down into the mud. That being said I hardly ever have to use it. With good...

In our town we have 2 drive in movie theaters. This year they did not open them and not many people know why. I can just imagine that after every show they were left with a 2 acre trash heap. This is the only business I can think of that has to put up with the trash we do.

Mac, I don't know how you find any problems with what Rykopro said. The people with ryko equipment on this forum appreciate his knowledge about our product. We are glad to have his factory training at our disposal. I am sure many on here like your support too on other equipment. He never said he...

I like the idea of 2 tanks because over time equipment rooms seem to grow smaller as you add stuff to them. My first wash I put in a 500 gallon tank and I have plenty of water and never come close to running out. On later installs I went with a 200 gallon tank for size reasons. On those...

MH lights are one of the very cheapest to operate based on the light output. They usually will pay for themselves several times over vs. flourescents. My electric company will fianance their installation when taking out other types of lights and project a 18 month payback on energy savings. MH...

I had a brand new Dodge Magnum go through one of my touchless IBA last summer and the windsheild cracked when the warm presoak (120 degrees) hit the windsheild. It was the middle of summer on a 95 degree day. He wanted me to replace it but told him it was a stress crack from improper...

I started my first car wash in 1993 after being in the family tire business for years.The first couple of years are hard but it does get better. My washes never really take off until they have been open for at least 1 year. I was lucky that I found this site about the time I started washing...

I tried the cole slaw today and thought it was great.

I should have put 1 tsp of curry powder not tablespoon.

Try this for beef or wild game hamburger. I think you will find they are the best you ever had. 2 LBs of ground hamburger 1 small can of mushrooms stems and peices 1 Tbl spoon of curry ( more or less to your taste) 1 Tbl spoon dried minced garlic 2 Tbl spoons of dried minced onions 1 TBl spoon...

You could use a 8 position switch and just wire the extra 2 positions to duplicate one or 2 functions. I have one location that I use a 10 position switch that has 3 HP rinse cycles. That keeps the customer from having to turn it backwards after soap and foam brush cycles.

I used to have Ryko track units that would go through wheel bearings all the time. I finally started buying stainless steel bearings used for marine applications. They are about twice as much as a regular bearing $30 vs. $60. They should be availible through your local bearing supply house.

I had a guy that would dump his whole week of trash in one of my dumpsters every Sunday night. I opened his trash and took out a few items like a bank statement and credit card statement. I enclosed them in a letter that asked him not to dump his trash in my dumpster since it left me no where to...

I could not find any etowah valley readers on Ebay. I do think that Wash Gear makes a good product. I also think that etowah valley readers are a good product. For value pricing I think these 2 companies are the way to go.
