    What did your Petit replace?

    For sure. PSI and GPM play a important role also ;) With that said. Other than a rubber diaphragm, I haven't replaced anything in nearly 2 years on my Petits. Incredible machines that are built like a stainless steel tank. I spent $600K at this site on the auto upgrades and I looked at every...

    What did your Petit replace?

    At the time Ryko was running specials for $99K for either the Radius for Softgloss. If I recall correctly I paid $240K for each Petit. Now I believe they are closer to $300K The Petit will use ALOT more water than a fiction machine swell as soap. I did a price increase with the install.

    What did your Petit replace?

    I replaced a Ryko Softgloss and Radius with my 2 Petits. Cleaning is done mostly at the chemistry side. The dual pump Petit will put a lot of pressure and water on the vehicle tho. I have NEVER read nor heard any negative comments about the Petit.

    Advice for new to industry

    Do your due diligence! I have one seen 2 SS get built since I've owned my washes in the 10 years. I would scratch the friction machine and do 2-3 Petits. With that friction you'll be competing directly with tunnels. Unless you are thinking you'll get a significant amount of business after...

    Convert my full service to an express wash? Market for full service washes?

    Thanks for sharing. How often are you able to get away from the wash for say a week or so? I only ask because I'm considering adding at least interior packages to my express and am concerned about the labor logistics

    Bad News for us all!

    For sure! My first wash I bought was a victim of that fallout. With that said, I own both my washes, free and clear and take five and champion express as expanded aggressively in my area. I read on Facebook of some take 5 closing sites and I went by one of their sites in my area and they have it...

    AirShamee Boom Mount Location?

    Thanks everyone! I have my meter box and HP gun on the drivers side wall and the FB & Tri Foam / Ceramic gun on the passenger side. I was kinda curious as to where people mounted them I guess most of the deciding factor in that is where all your existing stuff was. Mine will be mounted on the...

    Finally a credit card reader that accepts tap and chip cards

    If that is indeed the case....that is disappointing. I have 10 sitting here too be installed and I bought them based on the specs and glowing reviews of a few well know people in the wash industry. I'm going to reach out to my contact at Monex and get some clarification because I cannot not be...

    Finally a credit card reader that accepts tap and chip cards

    Are these debit cards without Master Card or Visa endorsements? I've never seen a debit card without the Visa or MasterCard logo and I wouldn't want to risk taking something not ensured by either?

    Looking for a Mobile App for Self Serve and IBA

    Not a good sign I’ve reached out on 2 occasions to Brandon (sp?). Haven’t heard anything back. Scheduled a zoom demo and the call originated from Africa. What are the next best options? Hopefully Monex develops their app/fleet system

    Getting the grime off Windows in a Tunnel - Is there a chemical solution that does this in 20 minutes?

    I tried SAW. Didn't do jack. Klein Wall or Sulfuric Acid. Spray on and let dwell for a min or so and wash off and they're like new. I'm not paying somebody to scrub and buff or hours or doing it myself. Time is money.
