    SIGN - "Garbage Can for Paying Customers Only"

    When I would get backtalk about why it should be ok, I usually responded with something like "You drove past the police station, jail, courthouse, or whatever. Why didn't you just dump it there?"

    KTH, I agree with CB80. Most of your posts are subtle ads. Dial it back.

    Soap Jelling like mucus...

    I had that problem as well. Cleaning the tank and copper pipe worked great for me. I just lopped off about 2" of a piece of scrap 1 1/4" pipe laying around. I did sand all of the finish off the pipe first, like a plumber would do before soldering.

    No good deed goes unpunished

    I have found a few myself. I would just pull out the driver's license, tape it to the outside with clear shipping tape, and throw it in a mailbox. The last time I did it, the customer called about 1/2 hr. after the drop. I told him what I had done and to just go to the post office. He said "But...

    interceptor tank for a 4 bayy sscar wash

    I’m not sure how big it needs to be, but we used concrete grave liners for pits a few years back. They should be readily available for funerals, so I doubt it would be much trouble finding one. Also, what about a septic tank?

    I might change my name to “David”

    After seeing you numerous times at conventions, I always assumed your name was Bud Weiser.

    IDX X10 Xeptor problem

    I had lots of trouble with them forgetting programming a short time after reprogramming. I would send them to IDX for repair. The service was slow and they were never fixed when I got them back. I stayed on that merry-go-round for a couple of years before I finally gave up on them and replaced...

    Looking for a car wash rescue guy to come and assess what is needed

    Frankly, I wouldn't have been that specific. If his partner sees this and figures it out, it could strain a business relationship that may not be the best to begin with.

    I come from a town of 11K that had 7 IBAs and 14 SS bays and someone opened an express.

    Adding bill acceptors to Fragramatics

    I don't know. He was just displaying the door at the 2019 ICA show. FWIW, I put LAI locks in mine last year. I was backed into a corner somewhat. Keys got stolen and I had those LAI on hand and made do with them.

    Gentlemen, l am chasing the ghost in the machine.

    Geez guys, help the man fix his machine. He knows it's old. A 20 year old car wash can be fixed just like a 2 year old one. He might have a low volume wash that does 10 cars a day and can never justify a 150K new machine to wash those same 10 cars. People have 20 year old cars repaired every...

    Cat Pump cup replacement keeps failing???

    I admit I'm not familiar with the 623. Every pump I've dealt with was prone to washout, so I assumed a 623 could be as well.

    Someone on the talk car wash Facebook page has a Hamilton HTK for $5500, but i'm pretty sure it has actual buttons.

    Rotary Switch

    They are stops to screw into the back of the switch. If you wanted to limit the number of selections, that keeps the switch from rotating 360 degrees to blank spots. For instance, you could install them in the back of an 8 position switch and limit it to 5 or whatever, in a fan pattern.

    PDQ Laserwash 360 voice prompts.

    We are checking out Autowarn behind the scenes as I type this. We discussed WCWC and another "enthusiast" or two, a few months ago and felt ok about them staying as long as they were identified in their signature. I didn't see any reason to discourage a teenager with that much interest in the...
