    LW 4000 Spray Arch scratches again. Need help..

    Yes I agree; your issue to deal with is the impact reason, not the foam cover. As an operator, I suggest you learn to troubleshoot this type of malfunction yourself.

    Loan questions

    The bank needs the numbers to support the loan, period. They don't really give loans to existing car washes in any other way that I know of.

    if the problem is similar to a year or so ago, my logic would be to go back to the solution you had found and re-try that. is that what you did? was there any hardware you also changed or just software? is e-stop emergency stop switch? if the equipment loses track of timing etc. after an...

    The ones we use for our touch free / self serve wash are the bulk box from ERC wiping. They are recycled so they dry well w/ no break in peeriod. They might be too low class for your wash though.
