    Questions for those with a Washworld Profile

    Yes, we have it and it is offered in the middle and top washes. Customers use it alot -- we're in a South Texas rural community -- many farms, ranches, oilfield, construction, hunters -- lots of dirty pick-ups. It does a great job, but you need to make sure you're using a real good strong...

    Questions for those with a Washworld Profile

    No, we don't have any of those fancy lights. Also, I was just chatting with one of the WW techs who's at our wash installing new hoses and asked him about problems with the rinse system. He mentioned a couple of other things I didn't put in my last note: 1) Some of it might also have to do...

    Questions for those with a Washworld Profile

    Yes, I'll chime in. We put in a Profile-Max in 2018 and loaded it with everything -- Foam and Flow and Triple Foam. Yes, we occaisionally have customers complain that the foam is not rinsing totally off their vehicles. It happens only occaisionally and does not appear to be a continuous...

    What's difference in EE & tunnel?

    Coach, when we first started planning our IBA, I mentioned a tire shine option to my distributor rep (PDQ) at the time, and he said although he would love to set us up with a tire shine, if we were going to be handling alot of duallys through the site, that the tire shine mechanisms don't work...

    Hand sanitizing stations

    After searching all over the country for a company that could supply BOTH the dispenser and the sanitizer, we actually were referred to a local distributor who supplied both -- the dispensers (we bought 2 and put 1 at ea. vac for our small 2-vac island) were no charge, but they get you with the...

    Carwash Closings

    We have a single, unattended IBA in South Texas. I have written to the State, City Mgr. and County Commissioner asking for confirmation that we are an Essential Business. So far, have received no response from any of them. Intend to stay open until otherwise instructed. We have turned off...

    How are you all doing?

    I also received that text from my sister-in-law who works for the DOD. Let's hope it's actually just a hoax.

    How are you all doing?

    Much like yours, our Single IBA, unattended, is still doing fine here in South Texas. There are no cases (yet) in our county, but who knows how long that will last. Stores are out of everything. Am planning on going on a "food" hunt today to a neighboring small town that has a Super WalMart...

    Thoughts on Friction Machine

    We have a Profile Max in our single-bay IBA in a small rural town in South Texas. A good part of our clientele are muddy trucks from farms, ranches, construction, hunters and oilfield. The soft-touch brushes on the Profile are made in Europe and the foam material is non-absorbant, almost like...

    They just keep getting dumber.

    Unbelievable. What type of damage, if any, was done to your equipment? From the announcement instructions, it sounds like you've got WashWorld equipment.

    You also need to make sure you're using a very high-quality alkaline wheel-scrub chem for the best results. Our WW distributor uses ChemQuest chems and their Select 35 is what we use for the wheel scrub.

    Washworld Profile

    Yes, we have the high-pressure wheel scrubber on our Profile-Max. No problems whatsoever and it does a super job. We previously had brush scrubbers on our PDQ Tandem and had lots of complaints. Our WW distributor recommended the high-pressure scrubber because it covers all sizes of wheels...
