    If the touchfree demand is drying up why would you consider touchfree? Lots here like The Softgloss. Ryko and Autec are friction machines I would check out. Do you have room for a mini tunnel? There's experts here on that concept, too; maybe post in conveyorized section as well. Friction is...

    Damage question

    I would not use plastic curtains. Je$us; people even drive into standard overhead doors, so I would NEVER expect customers to NOT drive thru plastic curtains, signs or no. Folks dont read the signs! Ditch that plastic; asking for trouble IMO.

    More D&S Super 5000 help please

    How frayed? Be careful w/taping up frayed cables! Moisture and movement are the enemies of even new cables, and in my experience, it takes very little for a cable to ground out and cause a false reading or input. I'd either cut and splice using the proper solder on twisted/knotted wires...

    Home Oil Burner Question

    Thanks! I was thinking I'd offer him $100. I clean my Dad's 2 wood stove chimneys. It's not hard. My roof's alot steeper and I'd rather hire it out at my house.

    Home Oil Burner Question

    I've got an HB Smith Boiler at my house. A few years old. A flue-claening company called last night offering a $139 special. I asked for references and left 1 message at 1 number they gave. How often do you guys/gals get your flue cleaned on an oil fired furnace and what do you pay? Thanks!

    Foam Brushes

    My instructions say rinse brush on your way past it when soaping car up w/hp. A freshly rinsed plastic brush won't scratch. I am not saying it is impossible, but are you sure the scratches were from the brush? I've seen many cars scratched up from dealers wiping them down., removing snow...

    Y-Delta Start again

    I have N Grid as my power company. I signed up for an energy audit as well as meeting to discuss peak draw and the power available at the pole/my connection because I never felt it was adequate for my wash and detail. I don't really understand what you mean about the contactor but vfd's are...

    Y-Delta Start again

    I was at my local motor repair shop Monday getting a door operator capacitor. While there I asked the owner if he knew how to wire a Y delta start. He said yes but that it required a starter also which cost THOU$ANDS. Does anyone have such a setup w/starter and if so how much do these cost...

    I had a bad cable end on a prox (different machine than you have) last week. Prox was good but sending a false input. Mine has l.e.d.'s on a display I can read to see what prox is fouling up. In my case, even with the prox disconnected, the input was on! I replaced the cable end with a Turck...

    Foam Brushes

    I agree with your points. But I still like the cleaning ability and durability of the plastic. The customers who 'dry hump' the finish with the brush almost don't deserve the boars hair! Shhhhh! Don't tell my insurance agent I said that!:)

    Urgent! Need Help with County

    First of all, relax. Getting riled won't help, especially w/government (speaking from experience). You have to figuratively 'buy them a fruit basket'. 1. If you don't already have it, add an r.o. reject reclaim. There is your reclaim for your IBA. Just plumb it into the feed tank on your...

    CAT 3535 loses prime

    It wasn't that. The problem was a bad check valve on the soap delivery manifold inside my gantry. It has been fixed for awhile now.

    Foam Brushes

    I use plastic brushes. If they're good enough for detailing preps (they are), they're fine for SS bays. They last, work well and are inexpensive. I didn't like the way hogs hair wears out fast, so I switched.

    Yellow Pages Scam

    1. Foreigners call representing yellow pages. Boss is unavailable so they talk w/an employee. 2. Yellow pages rep rattles on in poor english about your listing. 3. They somehow get an unsuspecting employee to accept an ad totalling $500. 4. Owner never pays for Yellow pages ads; never...

    I'm buying my first car wash!

    What type of equipment have you worked with? Why would you sign a contract to purchase a business w/out a firm grasp of sales? Do you know the expense side at all? The carwash business can prove challenging without proper planning. Sounds to me like you need more education before you buy a...
