    Set and forget here to. Thought about closing - removing hoses but that's 16 to do at a time and I have been surprised by how busy we can be with temps in the teens, even 10 degrees if cars are salty and sun is shining.

    Impact of state of the art express wash one mile down the street of 5 bay SS

    No doubt it will hurt but so many factors come in to play I'd say it's impossible to tell how much. For instance. 1. How many SS around. 2. Is it in an area where there is lots of non auto use of the SS? Motorcycles, RVs, watercraft.

    Would You Pay This Bill?

    When I feel I am right and someone else has a different opinion and threatens court action I tell them. "Well, you think you are right and since I feel you are wrong and now you think you should go to court, please do. That is how reasonable people resolve differences and I am willing to...

    LED wall pack

    For Tunnel installs, another thing to consider is to NOT put one too close to a color LED that goes on with a service. The bright light lessens the effect of the colors.

    LED wall pack

    When it comes to specs I am concerned that they all le. It's just a question of how much. I typically buy a couple and see how they work. Started that way with the KR 150W LSI's and bought at least a dozen more. Did the same with the Jarvis 140W retrofits for the Scottsdale 320 W. Bough 4...

    LED wall pack

    Starting at the door about 8 foot in, just past where the overhead door is in the up position and then about 15'. ABOUT is the operative term because there is no need to put it over a dense mitter curtain . Try to space about 8 feet on either side of the mitters. So, 90 feet inside the...

    For operators that do NOT push in side view mirrors.....

    What Do Operators Have to Say About AVW????

    I have AVW, Belanger, Sonny's and Sherman stuff. Over time like most AVW has made improvements as field operations revealed issues. IMO, AVW mitters are simplest to maintain. Wraps are simple designs, similar to Sonny's. Sonny's top shock makes it more likely to climb a car if there is an...
