Oh good. I have one too. The hose machine is at another garage ( I work with them in the used car business), so I plan to leave the chop saw there so they can use it when they make hydraulic fittings.

Hi everyone I'm planning to begin making my own high pressure hoses. Part of the process is cutting the bulk hose to length. I'm using this...

First determine chemical cost per car. How much above that figure will this program cost you? I like to have control over chemicals. There are times when an adjustment is needed and i wouldnt want to wait for someone to show up and handle this for me. I also don’t want to give up any...

I've heard of operators having some issues with their brand-new touch free automatics. The machine is tripping a VFD when the bridge attaches to the dryers / blowers. This stops the wash and makes it unreliable. This bothers me, because I was seriously considering Washworld equipment for an...

Why dont they just make these nogs hair brushes so they thread onto our foamy brush handles? When you guys talk about drilling and tapping and bushing i get a headache!

I love the Collinite wax and have used Collinite 476S for a decade or more. My detail customers seem to love it, and employees do, too.

Credit card readers on bays are a must for me. Mine have been great. Hard to beat Cryptopay's reliability.

Kids and pets get blamed most!

I have primed booster pumps as well. Mine has a plastic bung that I remove . I put a water hose in and add to the pump until it primes.

One thing I learned from a friend; make sure the motor on the booster pump is spinning in the correct direction. There should be an arrow on it. When I changed my booster pump, I recall 'bumping' the power to be sure the booster pump was rotating in the correct direction.

Hi All Awhile back Soapy posted a berm / speed hump / water barrier for the bay entrance to keep the water in. I can't find the thread. Does anyone ( Soapy?) remember the item or have the link? Thanks!:p

We had a safety meeting about car wash and equipment safety that was inspired in part by this tragic story. Safety has to be our top priority. We all need to make it home each night, to our families. Sending prayers of comfort and peace.

I'd like to re-face my cashier soon. It's 12 years old and looking faded. Checking the price, it is $220 for my model. This seems high. Any other opinions? Am I just too cheap and 'small potatoes'?

I have a different machine but I would suspect a bad wire. your machine is receiving a signal that says rotate. if the proxes are good, start looking at wires.

I disagree. I vend only tokens and love it. I accept quarters and credit cards as well. I sell air for $1. Love that, too, esp. in winter! I have towels that customers use and return. That's what I use for loyalty/ rewards.

Embrace the daily chores at your wash that make a big difference; things like lubrication schedules can help you stay operational. Fixing things before they break is great. It takes discipline to paint, fix and do projects on slow days instead of relaxing, but it's worth it.

Here's a neat thing that might work: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0076DUV2Q/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 It's for engines, but if it would magnetize to the motor that might work well.
