    Friction Or Touchless In Bay Auto??

    Same here. I went with the Petit to replace my Radius and will replace my Softgloss with another Petit. I'm going with Dencar tellers and hopefully I can manage the site with 2-3 hours of hired labor a day.

    Pit-y the fool

    I have a Ring-O-Matic and 2 Handi Clam. I usually have an employee hit the pits and dump it in my drying area. I have 2 Handi Clams...1 6' one for hitting the pits to buy us some more time, and a 15' one for hitting the interceptor. Local septic company wants $500/pit to haul and dump (...

    It ain't over...

    If you guys haven't watched the documentary Social Justice ( on Netflix), it behooves you to do so. They are controlling what we perceive as the truth and are controlling how we think and make decisions.

    Normal business ?

    I moved from Florida to Colorado. Although nothing will ever be as bad as FL, it still amazes me out here. In my case it's mostly when I call contractors for estimates/work and they never call back.

    Major life decision

    The only problem with that argument is as we've seen during COVID, the .gov can come in and tell the property owner he has no right to initiate a eviction due to non payment of the rent. I own MF as well as commercial and office. I've owned a few businesses in my time. The car wash is a fun...

    License plate recognition software

    Sorry for the late response! It all depends on the individual state and how much the report to private entities, but I've used Docusearch with 100% success rate multiple times in the past.

    Not worth the risk or my time. I let my guys do it if they're so inclined to do so.

    Weep issue - Solenoid?

    Got the Demo 0474's from Kleen Rite yesterday, installed it and I'm good again. Those Asco's were crap. The firs tone lasted about 2 years but then I had not 1 but 2 bad from the box.

    Hiring a Person

    Pretty much that. Retired healthy guys areperfect for the self serv side. I’ll likely be using college kids for my new EE. There’s a fairly large Univ 1 mile away. Maybe I can pull a few from the engineering program .lol

    Time investment

    That depends on you and the systems you put in place and the overall maintained level the wash is at. Some operators here spend the equvekence to a F/T job plus OT here. They’re married (slaves) to the operation or they just love being there( I do enjoy hanging around at my washes - its My...

    Utility cost

    I have 60 photo-voltaic panels on my wash along with 10 solar thermal collectors. They’ve always been there (I bought the wash built) so I have reference to what the utilities would be without them.

    Radius vs Kondor

    I want to shoot myself. That's it. I'll never go it alone before asking here. I even emailed Ryko and my tech and they didn't tell me this.

    Radius vs Kondor

    I have an older Radius that will be replaced with a Petit. It's been a solid machine coming on 12 years old. I just had to replace(myself) the PLC though! Other than the somewhat slow speed, I would think the newer machine with the wash builder and LED's and Foam rain bar should show nice...

    New autocashier

    That Hamilton looks nice. I've been considering the Dencar. I love the 21" screen and the technology it incorporates ( mostly related to monthly subscriptions ). https://www.dencartechnology.com
