    Bay Hose Sizing

    I used three eights for everything. It seems to work well for me. I've only got two ss bays though, and changeover is about 6 to 7 seconds for chemicals. Nobody complains about that.

    Oscillator motor for center dryer

    When I replaced mine on my superior blowers I got all the information off the data plate on the motor itself. I think I bought mine through Autowash Maintenance. I can't remember the price but I don't think it was super expensive.

    Petit 360 I

    I am on my third year with a new razor wash and it has been very lite on repairs. I do all the regular maintenance myself and I'm very good with greasing which I'm sure helps longevity of gearboxes. That said, I find winter time the easiest time to get the cars clean. They're always pretty...

    Detail Booth Rental Rates

    we have a separate detail building on site. 3 bays. separate manager. this is the only way to go imo. keeps control of operations so professionalism and quality are prioritized. and I'm not sure that offering detailing would bring in any extra car wash business. They are two separate...

    Turtle Wax Ceramic

    I use Ceramic Coat from Autowash Maintenance. Works amazingly well and a 30 gallon drum lasts a long time at my wash. I add tri-foam and hot wax also on my top pkg.

    Some automatics really cutting down on presoak water & soap?

    you just need to find a better car wash. the two you tried are poorly maintained. in much the same way that you come across run down convenience stores with poor selections and outdated food or dirty restaurants, there are dumpy car washes. there are also plenty of awesome ones that...

    Best strong powdered presoak that is Safe on equipment.

    I like the economy of the powder and how much I can store in my equipment room in 50 pound boxes to mix up for my high-pressure soap in the self service bays. I don't use it for the automatic anymore because I found I had to run it pretty much wide-open and I would fly through a drum and have to...

    Chrome Rims Cleaning Supply?

    many chemical companies make an acid-based or low pH wheel cleaner. It's important to know if you actually have chrome plated steel or polished aluminum. Aluminum rims can be clear coated or bare. If you spray any strong cleaner on bare aluminum it will streak, turn white, etc. Most clear coated...

    Should I put a new razer in

    I'd get that machine cleaning well and jazz up the bay with some cleaning and new colored led lights etc. You could make the machine appear new with a vinyl wrap and some cool decals. What exactly is the reason it's not cleaning? Friction is effective; we all agree on that. If the mechanical...

    Show me your wash

    this is my new mailbox. I know it's a small thing but I feel like the little things can make a big difference in overall appearance. I bought the planter box from a neighbor down the street. I put a cedar mailbox post in a bucket of cement and buried that in dirt inside the planter box. The plan...

    Freshly Painted car first wash advice

    you can definitely use a professional car wash to wash most any car unless it leaks like a lot of old cars or convertibles etc. You just hold the spray wand far enough away from the paint as to not cause damage ; usually a few feet. Most of the advice I have ever heard about fresh paint jobs is...
