    Tri Foam For Self Serve Bays

    Why not just ask him to build it for you? Besides, he hasn't been active here in over five years.

    What if foamy brush automatically turned on

    I've wanted to do that for years. It might be easy to do with some industrial-grade switch mounted under the hanger and just hinge that on the wall. There will be people who will try and defeat it, but I'm sure it would stop a lot of them.

    Wringer Sinks?

    IF I put one back in, there won't be room under the faucet for any size bucket, and if I catch someone washing right by the sink like that, they will be banned from the property.

    GinSan Sensortron Failure

    The unit is probably bad. You can narrow down the problem, look at the wires that go to the pickup coil (It's right by the sample coin, should be two gray wires). They can get damaged and it won't read the coin. Also try holding the gate open while you drop coins through. If it registers the...

    Need help vandalizing my vac haha

    No one's hit any of my equipment with the tool, although I expect it to happen at some point. I just don't want to leave any exposed since someone could open the door and close it again without damage. So many things like that are happening nowadays, like card skimmers put into gas pumps...

    kleen rite self serve bay simoniz hot wax systems

    I agree, except I wouldn't advertise a "hot wax and shine" if it wasn't hot. You could keep the tank hot with a tank or immersion heater. I've also seen a hot foam brush system that had a chamber with a water heater element at each bay to heat the foam.

    kleen rite self serve bay simoniz hot wax systems

    The product isn't all that expensive unless it doesn't dilute well. My three trifoam pails last six months at 96:1 IIRC, so I'd guesstimate one hot wax at 64:1 would last a month or two. I see no reason why it would need an extra charge, you're still just selling time and customers will still...

    Hamilton or Rowe change machine

    The advantage is so that they don't have to make separate cabinets for their own validators and Mars. An upstacker model would require the opening and mount to be lower. The only problem this causes (and it's a minor problem) is the Mars has to be set to take bills face down.

    Need help vandalizing my vac haha

    I will always use that expensive lock with the funky key after learning about the tool that will allow anyone to open a tubular key lock in five seconds. The Van lock is one of the most difficult locks there is to pick open, so you'll never have to worry that someone opens the door and sticks...

    Looking for an online sign/decal company

    I've placed a lot of custom orders with STAGraphics. As long as my measurements have been accurate, the decals lined up perfectly. I've asked them several times about the round holes not being round and they've said they'll look into it, but the round cutouts end up being a bit oblong. I just...

    Looking for an online sign/decal company

    They've always been able to cut holes in the correct places if they have the right measurements, my only problem is with them cutting round holes. They're not round and the round function labels end up not fitting in the cutout.

    Need help vandalizing my vac haha

    Just pry the door open and break it. Use a couple of flat bars and take tare and you won't leave any visible damage to the unit. It's not worth the time, effort or cost to drill them IMO. I just had a whole Fragramatics unit ripped off the island and dragged into the weeds behind the wash and...

    cryptopay question

    Is this a self-service dog wash? It would only require you to reverse-figure what portion of what you charge needs to go to sales tax. People who have to pay sales tax on vending do it that way, they just charge whatever flat amount for the item and pay the appropriate tax.

    Cryptopay - Out of compliance readers

    You'd have to sue them for the lost amount plus court costs and your time spent pursuing the recovery to make it worth your while, but if you have video evidence of the person I don't see why it wouldn't be an easy win.

    Coleman Vending Island with Cryptopay????

    I think the simplest way to do this would be to just install a swiper and have each card swipe add an increment of money, then the customer swipes their card until they have enough to make a selection. It would be easier for the customer if your vending items are 50¢ or $1 increments. You...

    Why is Kleen-Rite Shipping so much?

    You may call it gouging, but IMO it's more about the workers not caring what it costs who. They just sent it whatever way is easiest for them, which includes sending one item at a time as they come in off a backorder. It's just like the packaging - I've gotten a huge box with just a few strips...
