    IDX MA 800 Issues

    I'm in the camp with Randy and Washnvac. Toss it in the trash and replace it with a good acceptor.

    Needing to replace old RYKO Voyager

    Yep, he's pushing it...

    Need recommendations for a LOUD white noise machine.

    Last night, I ordered the Magicteam unit I referenced above.

    Need recommendations for a LOUD white noise machine.

    I found one on Amazon last night that will run continuously if desired. It's the Magicteam brand, like the old one. They also advertised that it had 32 sound levels, so I feel it will probably be as loud.

    Need recommendations for a LOUD white noise machine.

    I snore pretty bad, so my wife has to have a white noise machine and a box fan running to drown me out. She had the little Magicteam unit that was loud enough, but a big drawback was that it would only run a maximum of five hours and would shut off (I wonder whose bright idea that was?). She...

    Needing to replace old RYKO Voyager

    MEP001 is right. You don’t have any business advising people on decisions as big as these. You need to stay in your lane and be forthcoming, by letting people know that you are just an enthusiast and have only knowledge gleaned by observing them. These are life changing financial decisions. This...

    Blame it on the check valve

    Yeah, I hate it when that happens...

    Which cars don't you allow into your brush machine?

    I had a Wesumat/Washtec. I could wash anything but a dually. No problem with pickup beds. No significant issues of damage claims. That being said, the machine was a total piece of garbage and I wouldn't have had another one if it was free. I was kind of happy when it was crashed out of service.

    Help with RO system info - Reclaim system?

    The machine on the right makes the spot free water. The one on the left sends it out to the bays.

    Opinions needed on Tradeshows

    I agree with Randy. The industry seems to equate the SS/IBA segment to the steerage passengers on the Titanic. I feel this express boom will come to a halt and come crashing down, sooner rather than later. Their predatory ways have already damaged the profitability and just overall devalued car...

    Strange things found at the car wash

    Once, I was dumping trash and saw a brand new dinner plate with the label still on it. I pulled it out, wondering why someone had thrown it away. I also saw an open Amazon box in the trash. I pulled the box out to discover seven more identical plates, with all the packing still in the box, less...

    Strange things found at the car wash

    I found a blow-up doll, but my buddy Greg Pack came by and claimed it.

    Wall pack advice

    Back when I changed to CFL, I couldn't decide between 5000 or 6500K. The 6500 bulb was about $10 more than the 5000. I was going to need about 80 of them, so the extra 10 bucks was going to add up. On the first bay I converted, I installed three 5000 and one 6500. I couldn't tell the difference...

    I agree. That's like saying "Too much beer."

    Alternative to IDX MX8

    Ginsan GS-16D.

    Have any of you used this brand before?

    With virtually no stainless steel, I can only imagine what that thing will look like after a couple of years with touchless chemicals.

    Futura stripes

    It's hard to make any sense of that, but he probably meant "titrate". I'm guessing he's using a "talk to text" type of app or something, but one would think you would actually look at it before posting that unintelligible mess.

    Pay oof

    Good job Soapy. I don't know how many license plate #s I have written down, when something just didn't look right. I've been asked why I did it when they weren't doing anything wrong, often being scrutinized as if I was doing something wrong. I explain that if I'm wondering what they are up to...

    $10,000 in a Change Machine?

    I can see a Hamilton DRS full of dollar coins PLUS the price of the changer, being 10K.

    Nozzles on WashWorld Razor/Profile

    That wash was 8 minutes, before the dryer! I don't understand the two presoaks with a HP pass sandwiched between them. Turbo nozzles are definitely impressive. I don't understand why more mfrs. don't use them. I don't understand the industry being so hung up on the stupid lava foam curtain. They...
