    Input on two SS wash purchases?

    If the wash is busy at all then I think a daily check up should be made. It doesn't have to be you though. Maybe the trash pick up guy can be trained and willing to do it.

    Security & Preventative Measures

    I'm betting the human eye is currently better than AI for this issue. Is the wash attended to all open hours? How many Pre-inspection cameras and how many post-inspection cameras are there? How far from the car are they and at what angle? Are they 4K and adjustable focal distance? Maybe there is...

    Treadle Switch Design

    Our old Super Wash bay that we tore out and all the other Super Washes I have seen have a trough poured into the concrete floor that the tire dropped down into.

    Buying a car wash

    That is an unbelievably slow car wash and not worth the asking price. I would not pay much more than $100K.

    Buying a car wash. How long did your search last?

    Almost a year but that is irrelevant. It could take a few days or possibly years to find a decent wash at a price you can turn a worthwhile profit on.

    MEI Validator Issue

    Any word on how long they will make parts for them? Yesterday I saw that I also have the flashing 4 times code on one. What causes that issue?

    Hp Rinse Issue

    Is that the rinse solenoid valve? That doesn't keep the motor from starting. Did you check for 24 VAC at the motor starter while on the rinse selection?

    It is the lower air regulator that adjusts the liquid flow. How do you know for sure that it is coming on?

    Ceramic Making vehicle Feel Rough?

    Are you able to shut off the drying agent on the ceramic wash package? Usually ceramic goes on first before other protectants.

    New and need some helpful information

    With that setup there will not be any air to that pump until the solenoid valve controlling the air flow gets power to it. Is this photo taken while it's supposed to be calling for that chemical? Also I noticed that you need to replace the foot valve on the concentrated chemical pick up tubing...

    Hamilton HTK mobile app worth the price?

    We are not happy with our Dencar system but maybe some day it work right and we can open for business. If I told you guys how many help tickets we have put in so far you wouldn't believe me. They do have very good customer service but the product is so so. We do finally have all of our self...

    Stand alone dryers pricing

    At $1 you might be breaking even. Although an argument could be made that you could get more business from promoting that for $1 you get that feature. What is the current take rate would you guess?

    Help with foam brush

    The blue ones seem they are incompatible with some chemicals so I switch those out for the gray ones. I tried the Dema valves and didn't really like them and went back to the Hydro valves. The Demas have a lot higher cracking pressure than the Hydros and I'm speculating would not draw chemical...

    private equity backed vs independent success

    How are you judging this if you can't see the numbers of the non-publicly traded ones to judge success? Some have closed a few locations so I guess there's that. Around here there are not that many EEs that are privately owned. The corporate ones are on the crack pipe with over building and the...
