    Coin-Operated Dry Mat Cleaner

    Am curious about putting one of these on our site in our vac area, but don't know much about them. Are they profitable? Are they secure? Can they be broken into easily? Any advice you may have would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Profile and center of the bay

    Frankly, I believe it's impossible. We have colored highway markers in our Profile Bay, and the instruction sign at the entrance states: "Please center your vehicle within the yellow guides." We still get idiot drivers who are too far over one side or another, usually driver's side. We also...

    To Weep or Not to Weep

    Thank you. That's basically what my WW tech said -- "Those Razors are a real workhorse." The Profile suffered a bit of damage with some broken hoses and small fixture leaks, but we got off easy this time as compared to the last Arctic freeze here we had in Feb. of 2021 where it lasted about a...

    To Weep or Not to Weep

    Just FYI, the Razor survived like a champ and after all that ice melted off it and temps got above freezing on Monday, we started it up and 71 cars went through it.

    To Weep or Not to Weep

    Thanx for the info. We'll see how things look when everything thaws out by Monday. Will have to look into those torpedo heaters.

    This only happens occaisonally, not daily. It usually resets itself; and we can sometimes do it remotely.

    Profile

    I agree. The purpose of the Profile is to use the brush system; and the Razor for a touchless. That's we have both; and the customers have a choice. Our lowest pkg. just does 1 pass; and the others all do 2 on both both machines.

    Profile

    I didn't know you could have a pkg. without brushes on the Profile.

    Profile

    We now have 2 bays -- one with a Profile and one with a Razor. We offer all 4 of our pkgs. on both machines. The Razor was just recently installed, having gone into service in early Sept. So far, we are still seeing more use of the Profile than the Razor. But this is South Texas and those...

    Advice needed for ding repair set up on site

    Have always thought it would be cool to occaisionally have someone doing windshield ding repair on-site, and recently met someone who does that. Have any of you had this set up at your site? My question is what type of financial arrangement is usually made with these people? Is it a set fee...

    Touchfree vs Softtouch

    We have been operating a single bay IBA in a small town in South Texas since 2016. Since 2018, we had a WW Profile averaging 1600/month. We just finished adding a 2nd bay with a Razor and the monthly count has increased dramatically. We're not quite at double the count, but look to be around...

    What email address is Everyone using with There Razor.

    We had our distributor set it all up for us; but you can also call WW Tech directly, and they might be able to guide you through it.

    What email address is Everyone using with There Razor.

    Our Gmail was blocking the WW emails on counts and faults. WW recommended we switch those to Yahoo. We did that and have not had a problem.

    Anyone know tunnels? Cost to build?

    Coach, are you sure a town of 10,000 can successfully support a tunnel? I've read where you need more than a hundred a day to stay afloat, considering the high initial costs + all the labor involved; and they're not open 24 hours a day like our unattended IBA's which are perfect for smaller venues.

    Washworld Profile Power Wheel Detailer

    Coach, we are in the midst of installing our new Razor with Power Tower and Big Shot. Our tech told me they are installing it "by the book" and WashWorld says the Big Shot should be installed exactly 12" past the undercarriage manifold. See pic:
