I like this alot and have also thought of doing this. One more thing to eat up time while providing a service customers want/need. Tell you one thing; nobody's doing THAT in a driveway wash at home!!!

I'd check the wiring in the plc that controls the carwash. Sounds like a loose wire or sticky relay to me. Locate the output card that has the wire/relay that corresponds to the pass side dryer. Should be in the 'electrical' section of your manual. Do the easy things first; tug test the wire...

I agree; the sign needs to be more simple. The dots and detailed descriptionsd aren't necessary. You don't need 'soak' etc. The customer wants to know the basics: 3. wet wash 2. underbody/2 presoaks/foam polish/wax/blow dry 1. underbody/2 presoaks/foam polish/sealer/spot free/blow dry...

there are many solvents that remove tar. Mineral spirits work and is what our detail shop uses. the paving companies use diesel fuel to remove it from their tools.

I use hi/hi. I am mixing a powdered soap and find the cleaning excellent and usage/cost economical

I will agree that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. And just because someone is willing to pay an amount doesn't mean a bank will loan it. I fully agree that a commercial appraiser may not know anything about carwashes; my bank's DID NOT many years ago and I had to...

Who is going to the convention in A/C next week???

You can get an opinion of value from a consultant like Robert Roman. Rather than guesstimating with 'X times Gross', the opinion of value considers your marketplace specifically.

"So Sorry Miss/Sir. I'd be happy to have my bodyshop (the one your wash works with) reinstall it properly. Here is their #. Tell them Calypso Dave sent you."

I'm a pickup guy though I currently only have a 'yard truck'; 1991 Ford F250; that we plow the carwash lot with. I'd use a vise mounted in a pickup and can see getting use out of a lift setup as described above. add torches, small gas generator, and enough primary tapes (duct and teflon) and...

Update; My IBA is fixed and running fine. However, I did find 2 more pillow block bearings that need replacing. Like I said, we'll run until the parts come in then tear back into more bearing replacement. The bearings in question are originals, so I'm pleased they lasted this long!

My R.O. system ( Purclean 3000 gpd) started to dump water like it's flushing itself. Problem is, it'll continually flush (dump warm water). Took plastic top off tank. Farted around w/solenoid coils and made sure they were clean. Still dumps water continually. Anyone have this problem before...

Install Cryptopay and see how it goes. 90+% I'm sure have credit cards, so what's the risk? Just do it.

Yes it is a confession but one meant to help others not make the same mistake. I'm waiting for parts because the other mistake I made was thinking I had a spare cable end when I did not; I needed a 5-wire type but had a 4-wire type.

Re-learned the hard way to: 1. check all simple things first when troubleshooting your in-bay automatic. 2. If you've got a maintenance issue you've been waiting to totally fail before you fix it, look at that as the root cause of a problem FIRST. Case in point: My machine has guide wheels...

When I experience poor cleaning I test the soap for strength at the nozzle. That is first. If it's within an acceptable range then you could make it stronger. If it's not strong enough at the nozzle, look for clogged foot valves or injector problems or water softner brine tank out of salt or...

So you sand then paint w/out buffing after sanding??? Is this clear enamel in a spray can? Thanks!

My 2 self serve bays now accept credit cards via the Cryptopay system. I'm very happy with the resulting CC sales already. The reporting is easy to access and understand once you know the specifics. The Cryptopay team is very accessible and responds quickly to calls and emails. The equipment...
