    I have that at my automatic carwash; it's called 'underbody wash'.

    Buffing a black car

    Who has used one? Saw the video and it looks good. Price tag is high, as are pad prices. Could probably get $100 for my used Snap On rotary electric buffer.

    Buffing a black car

    Good reply, Bud. I am 60 miles West of Boston, MA. I do use air tools more now than ever and my late switch to them has given me a new zeal for detailing. Waxing a car with an air orbital has made me more inspired for waxing than ever ( and I used to really love hand waxing). Does Buffpro...

    Bite The Bullet

    The speed is too slow for a brand new state of the art PDQ. Customers sometimes see more value in the car getting knocked around from the equipment in a touchfree. Many have commented the pressure in mine is better than a competitor. Seems like my dream IBA (touchfree) would race around the...

    Buffing a black car

    What's the unit cost and pad cost? Besides swirlfree, it is any faster due to its size? Is Buffpro cumbersome and heavy (I'm not getting any younger and frankly, running an electric rotary buffer is tiring and like a workout)? Just a few well- intentioned questions.

    Undercarriage Nozzels

    I like the ramp idea. A ramp with a flat spot on top a few inches wide and holes cut out for the spray pattern. Just weld tabbed feet on it and attach the feet through their own hole and some well-nev- r -seized strike anchors.

    Veterans Day

    I just reported my total washes for Grace for Vets. What a good feeling to be a part of something very meaningful. A carwash for free is a small gesture, but it sends a message. I am truly honored to have so many good people come on my property, to my business, in a single day; people who...

    Mixing foam brush soap with Rv antifreeze?

    Where do you buy the Methanol? Tried this last year but never got it and had to order pre-mixed.

    Buffing a black car

    Clean or new buffing pads. Keeping the pad flat while you buff. keep the rpm's 1000-1200 range. do not run the pad dry (keep applying product as you buff) use a buffered compound and a cutting pad (I like wool to cut) 3M Perfect It makes a nice machine glaze for dark colors finish glaze...

    Hamilton ACW not reading credit cards

    Just had this problem. Mine has an emergency phone in my pump room on the same line as my ACW. After a power outage the phone had gone screwy so was 'off the hook'. I got rid of the phone and Hamilton was able to call my machine. Not sure if they fixed it on their end with the call they made...

    Weepmiser vs. Polar Freeze Guard

    If it purges with air, why even use any anti freeze? If you are concerned with power outages, buy a cheap generator that can run heat tapes on lines or your boiler for heat. I can see using an air purge, but RV antifreeze seems very costly and unnecessary. Couldn't you just air-purge stronger...

    Veterans Day

    Happy Veterans Day everyone! My free carwash for U.S. Vets is underway and bangin' already! They are lined up at my touchfree. This year we are also collecting cash donations for a Veterans Outreach Center that is solely run on donations and helps homeless Vets. Last year the Grace for Vets...

    How to restructure my wash labor

    Why not take a couple days off during the week, so you can be there on Sat. and Sun.? My slow days are Mon., Tues. What are yours? I would avoid putting a detailer in charge. A manager would be better. Maybe wage plus incentive pay? If you offer full details you can offer pickup/drop off...

    Maybe you could use a grinder with a less-aggressive whweel and smooth the graffiti off?

    Vac Island Canopies

    I was thinking of erecting a metal shed roof type thing over mine. If you use pressure treated for the posts and steel for the roof, it'd hold up well. You can get the steel in many colors now.
