    Remote Ownership of SS/Auto Car Washes

    I have a friend that owns a 4 bay SS in the neighboring state. Probably goes by there once every 2-3 months. Has 2 or 3 guys that do everything - from repairs to banking. I've personally seen his tax returns and he still nets over $100K. Another option would be to have a place with living...

    Ryko $99,999 installed special

    From what I was told, the $20K for the old machine is already factored into the $99K price. No mention on whether they care if the one being removed is operational or a mess.

    Wall Cleaner

    I've applied it straight and removed with a pressure washer at 4500psi @ 4.5gpm. Comes right off I've also diluted it 50/50 and applied with sprayer and then hit with a wide brush. Both about equal in regards of time and chemical consumed.

    PVC Walls on self serve worth it?

    Get a price on material from Extrutech. Either from them or a distributor. Then get a quote from a concrete contractor. That’s what I’d do

    PVC Walls on self serve worth it?

    I should add that my Extrutech walls are the concrete form/walls. Hollow core would be more susceptible to damage I’d assume

    New buttons for Wash Select II

    I recently freshened up my WSII with custom decals and new buttons....the exact ones you linked. Yes, the springs are softer, and the plastic seems somewhat cheaper, but they are holding up with zero issues.

    PVC Walls on self serve worth it?

    My wash came with Extrutech. Ceilings, walls, everything. I couldn’t imagine anything else especially dealing with painting and maintaining block. I use a custom made wide brush, and some Kleen-Wall every 6 months and they’re like new....even 12 years after my wash was built.

    Ryko $99,999 installed special

    I’ve had my S/G almost 4 years. I replaced the pistons and rollers. Occasionally the photo eyes get covered in oil/dirt and the wheel scrubbers will not hit their mark accurately. A quick wipe and we’re GTG. Other than that they’ve been well. I know many disattivate them.

    Big decision on SoftGloss: Need advice please

    I'm heavily considering replacing my older SoftGloss 2 with this deal. I'm happy with the performance of my SG, and it's been pretty rock solid. I know many consider it the workhorse of the IBA friction market. My machine is 11 years old, and even though the car count is low, the price and...

    Prep soap for IBA's

    Good point. With that, I look at my customers' cars, and I usually wonder when was the last time, if ever, they applied wax to the finish. lol

    Ryko $99,999 installed special

    I'm tempted. My machines are in good shape and low car counts but would be nice to to have 1 or 2 new machines.

    Thanks Randy. Just ordered $800 to replace all the various ones in my equipment room and have a inventory of spares.

    Making a front cover for Ryko OHD (touchless)

    I have 2 of them. I don't see why you couldn't go to a fab/metal shop and have them bend you one. Seems pretty easy.
