instead of dealing with all the "tire kickers" from doing that, I'd probably place a an add in some of the local business/finance associated media. Both printed and digital. Newspaper ( business section), Chamber of Commerce, maybe regional car wash association, Craigslist, Facebook specific...

I have a 1400 that began giving me issues ( initial rejection rate was like 95%) and I completely disassembled it, thoroughly cleaned it, and it's been humming along since. With that said, what other machines would fit in the same space without having to enlarge the hole in the wall? Are...

My closest competitor is $1/2min. I'm at $2.50/3:30. I'm hesitant to change anything as my bays are busy. Not quite as busy as his, but I also don't get the messes that he does with $1/start. People blowing out beds and trailers.

Meh. It takes me all of 10 minutes or less to tap 4 brush heads. I save $140-$160 over an Erie hogs hair brushes and I get a better performing brush that lasts longer. YMMV

I drilled about 1/8" - 1/4" deeper into my heads and tapped them all the way down. I trimmed back some of the plastic/rubber protective covering from the FB handle so as I can fully thread the head. No problems here and all are 12+ months and looking good.

I should've added that all my Extrutech are the integrated concrete form type.

My whole wash is made from Extrutech. I didn't build the place so I can't tell you about building with it, but I will tell you it is EASY to maintain.

Just wanting to see what the options are. I have Fragramatics at my SS location , and although they have been 100% reliable, they're coming on 10 years old and are looking tired and I've never really been impressed with their performance. Was wondering if there are any better performing...

Is the firmware on the NVR up to date?

I often think their shipping is a bit excessive. I also don't compare their shipping to a place like Amazon

scrubs3 - Do you have any EE washes close by and if so, do they offer unlimited plans and at what price?

I use these with a 45° street elbow like MEP suggested. Works great and the swivels are going on 14+ months. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-31827-value-line-swivel-38m-x-f-stainless-steel.aspx

What state OP?

Good read - Thanks for sharing that article. My wash was built with a drying area about 3x that size next to the dumpster. The previous owner would dump the mud on his adjacent parcel which he owned, but for some reason they built this drying area. I started using it after I sold my rental...

I bought mine used from a guy that had a spare clam shell that he made "extenders" from angle iron to go deeper. It's in great condition. Where are you located?

You're right. I noticed that too, and I drill a little deeper(maybe 1/4"?) into the head of the brush and tap the 1/2" NPT threads. Haven't had an issue.

So these things aren't really designed to be located in un-covered locations? I have a tire shine station I was thinking about converting to an Air Shamee. I figured if a vac is ok uncovered so would one of these?

Yep. Takes me less than 5 mins. Bought an inexpensive NPT tap and die set from HF

I believe $28.99 Mine still going strong. I also don’t have abusive customers.
