A detailer can be a good plan, especially if you can either lease it out to someone who will take care of the wash or hire people yourself to do both. Leasing it is usually better since you won't have to deal with employees yourself, although if you can find the right manager you can let...

The tunnel nearby will hurt your IBA income as well as the vacs if the tunnel will offer them for free. In my experience, SS and auto/tunnel customers don't cross over much. Maybe consider turning the auto bays into more SS, or possibly extra large extra pressure truck wash bays if there's...

Kleen-Rite's system uses a single solenoid block and a single DEMA 203C injector to pull the chemicals. Those injectors can go bad and quit drawing.

A Volvo XC90?

Especially since all the tubing lines are just hanging from the push-to-connect fittings. Really bad idea.

It seems like you're defending it/them more than you're asking for input.

Yes, it's 80/20 framing extrusion. It doesn't make a sturdy machine either, you can see everything move when the high pressure comes on. It may just be their proof of concept for their design and plan to build it out of stainless, but it's been 4 1/2 years and no video of a unit installed.

I have many, many questions and strong doubts about this company and its equipment. I thought the video of the machine in action would answer some, but it just raises more. Even if these guys can engineer this erector set machine to work, they clearly know nothing about washing cars.

I used to think otherwise, but I started cleaning the walls at mine and I brush on Klean Wall and keep dipping, applying and lightly scrubbing with an acid brush until my bucket is empty. It might be because the walls are so dirty, but they came much cleaner much easier this time, I think...

Seems odd that a stainless steel strainer has a "corrosion/rust resistance chrome" plating. What I use instead is a disk cut out of a pail with a hole saw, I enlarge the hole in the center to 3/4", I cut a 1/2" long piece of pipe, and when I glue the chamber together I glue in the 1/2" long...

Subtle.

I'm armed at the car wash. I get a lot of homeless roaming the property digging through the trash or asking customers for money. The latter I run off. I'm not too worried about getting robbed during the day, but I end up there late pretty often and feel a lot better being armed. I also watch...

Fix this leak first. It could be your whole problem.

I know there's a conversion kit from 2-bulb, single-pin 8-foot to 4-bulb, double-pin 4-foot bulbs. It comes with new metal ends that replace the pieces that retain the tombstones and adds the four in the center.

I was in San Antonio yesterday and once I was south of Hwy 90 I saw swarms of them everywhere.

Yes, it's rated to something like 400 PSI so it should be strong enough for foam brush and trifoam.

Try some toilet bowl cleaner from the nearest dollar store. Sno Bol is usually cheap, Dollar Tree sells a case of 12 bottles of Lime-A-Way cleaner for $12. It's thick so you can brush it on, wait a few minutes (Make sure it stays wet) and pressure it off. If toilet bowl cleaner isn't strong...

It won't work. The brass fitting won't cut threads, it will just make grooves that will never seal and will more than likely split the pipe. You can get a pipe tap and die set from Harbor Freight that's cheaper than a single 1/2" tap just about anywhere else. FWIW, I make foam generators out...

What other estimates?

They're blaming Trump for the most ridiculous things, even going so far as outright lies like that he's racist. They can't come up with a bit of proof on that one, but they're saying it anyway. Then they say crap like if he appoints someone to replace Ginsberg that they'll "burn the place...
