    Mosmatic Comfort Hose

    I went with the uber flex(but from another supplier/vendor) based on your previous post to replace my aging hoses. I made a mistake previously buying hoses with swivel fittings. One hose was leaking at the swivel within 2 weeks. Now I'll just put my trusty Mosmatic swivels at both ends and...

    Installing a new IBA

    Are there any other manufacturers like wash4me mentioned with Belanger above, where they provide direct support? My problem is any competent tech is 4 hours east or west of me. I'm on my own.

    Security Cameras...Worth it?

    I spent roughly $7,500 on my camera system in the end. 16 cameras, 32 TB of storage. I figured if I ever have a big event they'll pay for themselves. I can pic a plate from anywhere on my property, day or night, and even out into the street. I can get registrant info easily. I've called...

    What kind of preventative maintanance / cleaning schedule do you stick to?

    I'll admit..I kind of leave things be until they start causing me problems. I clean the walls of my IBA's and SS usually 2x a year and have the concrete surface cleaned as well. But as far as the equipment room and my auto's, i was wondering if any of you guys replace certain items on a set...

    Tire Shine Machine

    I have a gun like below and find that many people are able to use the residual shine soaked into the sponge to get a free application, albeit light.

    Tire Shine Machine

    I have one. It was built when my wash was built in '08? It makes maybe $25/mo but makes and ABSOLUTE mess of the asphalt, the island the machines is mounted on, and the coil hose. I've been strongly considering converting it to air like Earl

    Stand Alone Air Machine Compressor.

    Probably consumes more in power than it does in income generation. It was there when I bought the place. Makes a absolute mess! On the asphalt and the area around the machine and the hose itself.

    Stand Alone Air Machine Compressor.

    Do people use these things? Right now the only air I have is if a customer comes up to me and asks. I pull the coil line out of the equipment room and hand it to them. Usually 1x per month. I've been thinking about adding a stand alone unit - either free or paid - at one of my vac islands or...

    MEI Bill Validator repair?

    Has anyone used any repair series to repair a MEI Validator? I was all set to buy a new one when I found some results on Google showing places that have a core exchange for rebuilt units? Or maybe I'll buy a new one and still send the core out to have a backup?
