    New pay station signs! Thoughts

    the font in white on new one is too hard to read. it should be like the old one, make all font same as old one where it says 'coin return' i like the colors and selector printing on new one. on the old one i can read almost everything without magnifying it. Not so on new one.

    Cryptopay on Vacuums.. Worth it

    I would just bite the bullet and do it for all of the vacuums. I don't see how you can really go wrong or not make the $1200 back with adding credit card acceptance. It's the direction of consumers have been heading for quite some time. I'm planning to add crypto pay to my automatic cashier...

    laser 4000 impact

    How old is your machine? I can understand the stress of having malfunctions on your IBA; been there. I'm surprised that a machine as popular as the LW 4000 poses such a hard to fix issue, but I have also heard that once these machines reach a certain age they become unreliable. If it's earned...

    Does Having a Leaf Blower Help at Your SSCW?

    I bought a battery powered leaf blower this year and love it. It's great for cleaning out the Bays around the VAcs and even drying cars once in a while.

    New Sign

    I repurposed the sign from an old Mobil gas station that was converted to a cannabis store . It was 2 sided and internally lit. I made a frame from pt 2x6's and used led ribbon lights inside after applying foil tape. I'm making 2 signs, The other one says car wash & detailimg.

    ?? On chemical useage on Razor XR7

    I would try medium pressure to apply the product. Using a volumetrics test, see how much product is used compared to full pressure.

    I don't think it's ever a sound business practice to cater to a minority of customers who also create a bigger mess and therefore create a lower profit margin for the company.

    laser 4000 impact

    Did you install new wires for the cables, too? I'm not familiar with how the LW4000 measures side to side. If there is a prox that counts 'clicks' from a wheel counter assy or the like, I would investigate that. Also, if there is an associated relay with the output of each sensor in question...

    Also, monthly unlimited memberships provide a guaranteed monthly revenue stream, which can protect owners from peaks and valleys in the revenue stream. I visited a successful tunnel operation in FLA a few years back and the membership revenue the owner received monthly was what I would call a...

    Fastest, best cleaning IBA?

    I'm planning to upgrade my 15 year old Side-Trac 700 to a Washworld Razor. I'm using Autowash Maintenance out of Malden, MA for the installation and couldn't be more thrilled about these major improvements to my wash. The technology is far more advanced compared to my Side-Trac. It's...

    building stud walls inside car wash bay

    I built a metal car wash building. The steel structure has held up very well over 15 years. There have been a couple rusty sections that I have replaced but nothing major. I think using pressure treated wood behind plastic wall paneling is just fine for the base and keeping it up out of the...

    building stud walls inside car wash bay

    Yes, I am planning to use extrutech on the walls. I'm thinking that the plastic decking may be the ticket for the bottom plate of the walls, so the wood is up out of the water.
