    Pre-Soak a waste of time on friction?

    In 14 years of owning a friction auto, I never used anything but the generic foam brush soap I used in the SS bays.

    IDK MA-800

    I sold my washes a few months ago. I think there were still seven of the S5 acceptors scattered throughout. I believe they were installed in 1999, the same year my buyer was born... :D

    IDK MA-800

    I would try a Microcoin or two before I did anything else. IDX is a crap acceptor and the company gives equally as crappy service. You will eventually want to distance yourself from them anyway...this is your nudge.

    Closed tunnels in south FL

    It appears that new express washes are being outpaced by only Dollar General. Who could see that coming...:rolleyes:

    Looking to build a conveyor tunnel wash with a water reclaim.

    Often, municipalities will only allow washes to be built, contingent on installing reclaim. Any time I was ever at a wash that had a reclaim system, the story was the same. It quit working and the owner never fixed it. I never stopped in a wash with a functioning reclaim. It appears that no one...

    CAT 5CP2120 head

    Contact this guy. Associated Energy Technology Jon Robbins 5701 W 92nd Terrace Overland Park, KS. 66207 913-281-1903 I had him do some heads for me. He said he was doing pretty much anything DynaJet didn't want. He does 3535s and whatever else someone sends him, so I don't think the 5CP will...

    Ceramic wax

    I would buy it if it is "electrostatically bonded" to the paint.

    Ceramic wax

    All these big words and performance claims in the car wash industry are nice and all, but I would bet ten dollars to a dog turd that you could explain it all to a hundred customers and 99 of them will just hear that it is wax. Be sure and work nanotechnology in there as well. Nobody knows what...

    Mark Vii - Error Code 710

    Go through the error log on the CMI. You probably have two errors that the display is combining. I'm betting you have a d-1-0 and a 7-0-0. You may have both travel limits on at the same time, 7-0-0. I'm not sure, but I think d-1-0 may be, track length set too short, which would be related to the...

    Woo Hoo My First Car Wash!!!

    That is Nuphoenix's wash. I lifted that picture from his FaceBook post. The one I owned for a couple of months back in 2001 was bare aluminum IIRC.

    Woo Hoo My First Car Wash!!!

    Not really anything to wrap on one of those. About all you can do is acid wash and call it good.

    How are you all doing?

    I'm doing better, now that I've gotten my stimulus money.

    CAT 5CP2120 head

    You can ship it to them in a Priority Mail flat rate box for $15.05. The way they gouge on shipping, I'm guessing about $40 for them to send it back. Their price on a new head is $488.58 + $40 for shipping, so about double for a new head.

    Poll: Biden or Trump is best for my car wash?

    Debra, what surprised me the most about your poll, was that it took 9 hours for the first reply. Since I'm retired, I don't have a dog in the fight and will leave this for the rest of you. You have stepped into the Holy Trinity of never ending/never resolved discussions. Please stay away from...

    Anyone want back issues of SSCWN?

    I just did the same last week. I had them back to the early 90s.

    Lock options for JC Vac Doors?

    Check out the locks on page 6. I don't know how to copy and post it. https://www.laigroup.com/pdf/600-complete.pdf I used some of these out of necessity last year when I had some keys stolen. It is a very hard lock to drill, but can be done with the right stuff. An added benefit (or annoyance...

    Bank not taking coins

    I would probably just go to a different car wash.
