    Heated Water For Wash Tunnel - ?

    1. We have Hot water T'd in to the supply for the Chemicals. The water for these does not need to be Hot, but increasing the temp so it does not feel cold makes foaming products foam better. Drying agent works better also. Setting arch seems to work just as well cold. Feeds to cloth is not...

    Next issue of SSCWN is underway

    For hire operators need washes to. If there are huge fleets they may have their own on site wash like large rental car fleets. While we get a good number of Lyft and Uber customers those "Fleets" are much less centralized, so along with the decimation of the taxi industry we have been...

    Lubricity

    Agree, once the windows are soapy from foam applications, in an EE adding foam to equipment does not enhance the show. Perhaps for a FS it will. Wash n Shine, in your post #2 you comment about ho foam applied to material will not flush contaminants as well or work it' way thru the material...

    Insurance headaches

    It is bad when the other guys insurance treats you like this, but far worse when it's your own insurance and you are still paying them premiums when you are out of business. Suffice it to say I no longer have this company for the 3 places they covered.
