It's not 100%, but it has slowed it from having to be cleaned every couple weeks to maybe every six months.

It looks impressive at the car wash shows. I have yet to see one in person that covers even the hood and windshield well.

Most likely because the running boards were painted and installed by the dealer and the paint wasn't cured, or the surface wasn't prepped correctly. I know some guys who buy new trucks every few years and go in demanding things like color-matched fender flares. Every time the paint starts to...

They also do a pretty good job of removing a row of vendors off a wall. Had this happen a few days ago at a wash (Not mine thankfully).

I still haven't looked at mine, but I can tell you for sure it's the original tubing. It's stiff as hell, but I had to replace the containers a few months back and heating it up let it bend where I needed it. It stiffened right back up once it cooled off.

Yes, those Omron relays fail. A single 35A mercury relay handles more current than the three relays.

130V shouldn't have hurt the motors, but you might have gotten a voltage surge on that third leg. The motors were most likely smoked before you removed the fuses.

Etowah Valley, unless Hamilton has something easier to install. The EV kit requires that you move the controller off the door and run a wire to the display. It's not a difficult install, but I'm not a fan of leaving the controller just sitting on a shelf not mounted to anything. You lose the...

The last teenager I dealt with as an attendant would come in, dump the trash, then spend the rest of the three hours he was paid for in the equipment room on his phone texting or playing games. On his fourth and last day, he showed up, clocked in, left, then came back three hours later to clock...

Is one of the open tanks hot and one cold?

Lots of people do it here. If you care about your customers and want to minimize damage they can do, get a grit trap for the bucket. I recommend signage that says "Only for windshields and grills" and/or "Rinse brush thoroughly before using" and/or "Not responsible for scratches." Most just...

I can think of no valid reason not to let your insurance handle it. They're going to deny the claim based on the age of the car and no prior claims of the same thing. I dealt with a customer claim years ago of scratched paint by the foam brush, and when I apologized to the guy who came out he...

You can replace the relay module in those timers, but I haven't been able to find it at a reasonable price. Adams doesn't do a very good job crimping the spades. That's why the wires burn. I usually rewire them with a 12 gauge going to the motors and really crush the hell out of the crimp. I...

When we get 6 inches of snow the whole state shuts down.

I've been three times in the last five years and it's been pretty much the same. I'll wait for the ICA show in Vegas.

Same. Spray it toward the end of the day and leave it, and the next day it'll be dead and will wash off easily. If it's really bad, pressure-wash the bulk of it off, then spray it with bleach.

Check both the seal area and the valve seat area. If the o-rings blow out in a short time, the manifold is probably washed out there. They can be resleeved. Be sure to check the valves for cracks or debris.

Almost anything but a Hydrominder 571. I like the Walters valve because they almost never hang wide open or fail to open. 1" seems to last longer for some reason. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-2010-walters-float-valve-1-with-float.aspx

Possible, if the pump only pulsates when the trigger is pulled.
