Purple Passion:

I get calls all the time, at all hours, from people demanding I come fix the problem (It's almost always their fault). When I tell them that I'm not coming but I'll mail them a refund, they almost always refuse to give an address and hang up.

FWIW it's important to use standard oil for the first 50-100 hours with a new compressor (Will usually be stated in the manual), otherwise it will never break in properly and it will either leak oil from piston blow-by or it will allow oil in with the compressed air.

I used 1/2" because it's what I had, cut three pieces about 8" long. I put them in the tire cleaner tank for a few days which cleaned them inside and out.

I don't know the process, but the copper pipe releases some copper, and it will eventually dissolve. I had to use it at one wash for many years. I'm mixing it stronger now and I don't have any issues.

That inline strainer will clog up just as fast as the one in the tank.

I assumed this was his foam brush tank since that's where I've had the most trouble. FWIW I would think both the soap and wax solenoids would have to be bad since the spring pressure is equally effective at holding them both closed regardless of gravity flow.

Get the tank completely clean, use bleach or boiling water to kill the algae, then cut a few lengths of copper pipe and leave them in the bottom of the tank. You might want to plumb cold water to it instead - 110° might be aiding the stuff in growing. If those together don't stop it, maybe try...

The VN2700 series is MDB only. WSII uses pulse validators.

I don't know all the differences, but I know enough to be pretty certain that the VN won't work. Check eBay, I just bought another refurbished AE26xx for $175, it looks almost new inside and out and it works perfectly. The seller has a feedback of over 10,000 with a 99.6% positive rating.

I can easily give you a list of maybe 50 terms that have been misused into general acceptance. I'll just give one here: nauseous. If you say you're nauseous, you make people around you feel sick. Ignorance has destroyed the original meaning. If your unit's manufacturer had used a more...

The problem is that any cleaner will wick behind a panel, such as a faceplate on a Goldline, some of which will stain or discolor the decal applied to the backside. The protectant you use is definitely a good plan to keep them clean.

Some of their templates are off. I ordered meter door decals for Coleman doors and they were unusable. Either ask for a printable proof or send them accurate dimensions.

Coleman troughs are about 12" wide by 8" tall. That's the minimum I would do - I've worked on a lot of those, and there's barely enough room.

Not only is this "statement" untrue (The clear bra automotive paint protection is good but nowhere near as a commercial product clear laminate) but "light year" is a measure of distance. You would say something is "years ahead" of its competition, but adding "light years" just makes you ignorant.

I'm not familiar with Mars coupons, but the blue button is next to the red light.

Nope.

It should be easy to find someone to make that enclosure. It's basically the same as what Coleman does, except they just dump the hose, tubing, and manifolds in it.

You know how to make a small fortune in the car wash industry? Start with a large fortune.

I'd keep the instructions as simple as possible. Swipe or tap card, wash as long as you like, press red X to end transaction. Don't use the word "STOP" or you'll have people turning the switch to STOP or, as I've had people do, press the STOP label on the door for the switch. A separate sign...
