    Self Serve Price Increase

    Most timers are designed to add time in 25 cent increments on initial start and as long as there is still time left in the initial cycle. If time runs out, it’s another 3 bucks to start. There is a feature on some, called grace time, but I won’t get into that now.

    So, who is here in Nashville

    I know that last time we ate at merchants on Monday and the pub on Tuesday. IMO, both were solid choices.

    So, who is here in Nashville

    I'm not in Nashville. I plan to drive there tomorrow. We have a bit of a family crisis emerging and I could cancel, but I don't think I will. I'm up for dinner both Monday and Tuesday night.

    Who is going to Nashville?

    I'm open for grabbing a bite, both Monday and Tuesday nights, if we don't get anything formal arranged. Does anyone remember that place where we had the dinner during the 2019 show? I think Jackson arranged it, but then had a family emergency and couldn't attend himself.

    Express Wash Impact On Existing IBA/SS

    I use an express in the area that I relocated to. About a year ago, I signed up for $17.95 per month for the cheapest wash, additional vehicles were $8.95, so I added my wife's car for another $8.95. So, I was doing unlimited for two vehicles @ $26.90. I stopped in a couple of days ago to add my...

    Lets see your automatics

    Definitely better than the factory guide rails. I used three 6' bumpers on each side and left 6" between the ends, mounting the first one at about the wheel scrubber. I angled the one closest to the entrance as far as the gantry traveling would allow. I got the idea from a forum member about 10...

    Petit automatic

    Just a month or so ago, you said you sold your wash and were totally out of the car wash business. Where are you going to put them...your house??? It's killing me to have to pay to get my cars washed. Maybe you could install one of them at my house. Is SW Indiana too far?

    Lets see your automatics

    Traveler17, I used these parking bumpers instead of the factory guide rails for years. I liked them much better than the factory rails. This picture is from one of my washes that I sold two years ago. I owned the wash for two years before selling to Dakota Hoskins. I think in those two years I...

    Dad Joke

    When does a joke become a “dad joke?” When it becomes apparent.

    People say filling animals with helium wrong. I say, whatever floats your goat.

    Friction vs Touch Free - Rural Area

    The town is only 2500. One car wash is all it can support, and even then it won't be a killer location.

    Who is going to Nashville?

    Yeah, you're right. The "steerage" part of the industry has been pretty much abandoned for the time being.

    Sami, have you ever been to the ICA show? One day is just not enough.

    I'll be there. Driving down sometime on Monday.

    Best Change Machine

    STXCW is probably referring to an RL-2 or 3 (2 or 3 being the # of hoppers) Hamilton. I actually had one and also converted all of my DRS to work like an RL-2. I started using dollar coins when they came out in 2000. My start price was $1.50 and it annoyed some people that they would have to...

    WW 2.0 wheels

    Is it a drive wheel or an idler wheel? A new drive wheel opposite of a worn one will drive that side of the machine faster, an idler won't have any effect. My machines were Mark VII and I'm not saying we always changed them in pairs, but depending on the amount of wear, you may want/need to.

    Running board Tower spray nozzle size

    On my Mark VII’s I had either #9 or 10’s in the UC. There were only 7 nozzles If I remember correctly, but I was pumping with a much smaller pump. It was very impressive to hear underneath the car. With a 3535 you should be able to put pretty much anything in there. Go big or go home.
