    I can't imagine it's relevant any more. There use to be mechanical acceptors that had a switch at the bottom with a wire lever that the coin would hit. A crook could stick something in the return slot and trip the wire like a coin does. I haven't seen any of those things in well over 20 years.

    Paint for Wash Bays

    You have a couple of options for painting walls, neither of which work. The best results I had were with latex epoxy, and they weren't good. Yeah, it will look great when you paint it. A year later you will be saying "Maybe I should have listened to those guys on the internet."

    Derrrr David!!

    For simplicity sake, let's say you want to charge $2 for 4 minutes. The number of coins is assuming quarters, so coins to start would be set at 8. 4 minutes broken into 8 coins is 30 seconds per coin. The time per coin switches would be added together and would be set as follows. Hundreds of...

    Buying a wash that has been out of service for years

    I'm not going to be far from there tomorrow. If I have time I may make a diversion and check it out.

    Adding Credit Card the American Changer AC1005

    You could possibly add Cryptopay or something similar to it, but that cabinet is so small it may be pretty difficult.

    Paystation that dispenses tokens for Free vacs?

    No they don't. Carolina Pride has an aftermarket add-on. They've been talked about here for years. MEP answered exactly what you asked. Me, I was just poking the bear with a stick...:sneaky: If you're going to get you bowels in an uproar when you don't get the answer you want, learn to phrase...

    IBA purchase...

    I don't see how my posts are derogatory. Assumptive, absolutely. Your first post looks like sales pitch and others felt the same way. I researched you with what little info I had available and didn't find a connection to Petit. My second post was in hope that you would come back and clarify...

    IBA purchase...

    Until he chimes back in and states otherwise, I think we should assume he is associated with them.

    Carwash Closings

    Remove safe heads and money boxes where practical so it will be obvious that you actually did it. If your meter box doors are removable, take them inside too.

    Typical yearly IBA throughput

    Wow! That has to be the worst promotional video ever. I quit watching after a minute or so. Was there a dryer in there somewhere? I'm guessing that maybe one flew by and I missed it... :unsure:

    When/how often to change vac bags

    I think that motor is turning backwards, which tells me it isn't running at all. It is being spun by the suction from the other motor, hence the ramping up.
