    HP gun problems-wand breaks

    I have also noticed a lot of rust inside the wand and on the threads. They are less than two months old. For those with the flex wands, what type of problems have you had?

    A Gentlemanly Wager About Sen. Mccains Election

    Yeah but your bet sucks and I dont want to win what you have to offer. Just thought if all winnings went to a better cause than you and I, then no one looses. I could bet that if I lose, I would send everyone 5 lbs of dirt, but everyone has that and doesnt want it. The squeeze has to be worth...

    Camera Placement

    Most systems are expandable to 16 cameras. Red, how many camers do you have? How many bays do you have? Is it possible to add an extra camera per bay so you can focus on the meter box and still look at the bay at the current angle?

    HP gun problems-wand breaks

    Thanks for the remarks. All of the booms do rest appropriately, so I dont think they are being torn off by mirrors, etc. I have always used this type of gun/wand combo. It is the galvanized 1/4 mpt x 1/8 fpt plastic coated with built-in tip protector. The only difference is I have started to...

    HP gun problems-wand breaks

    What type of gun and wand do you recommend. I use a gun with the ss receiver for the wand and a galvanized wand. I have had a large amount of broken wands in the last month or two. I havent changed brands but I went ahead and replaced my bay equipment with new hoses, guns, wands, brushes...

    L4000 Arch Rotate Error

    Seen this before, spent a week working on it before I solved it. I found a short on 15,replaced the prox and cable and thought that was it. I adjusted and greased everything I could find, replace the gearbox and festoon cable. I sat and rotated the arm 90 degrees and checked the inputs, even...

    ok bioshine fans

    Which Black Magic are you guys using? I have never been satisfied with it and have used it in Sonny's, the old Armor All, and the new Hanna machines. I would like to use it as it is the only non BC product in our stock.

    Wash Names?

    In my experience, the majority of people would ask for the $5 wash, or the $7 wash, or the $??? wash. Very few customers asked for the wash by the name, but they knew it by the cost. I have never seen an operator do this, but always thought it would be different to just use the price and a...

    Eliminating Dryers On D&S 5000

    That big open field next to your wash could be trouble. I wouldnt think the added RO water would accomplish your goal. Decrease the dryer time dramatically. Make sure you are using a good acid on your HP rinse. I like using LoPH conditioners as a trifoam also. This helps get a dryer car. A...

    Check Out the New Poll Area

    I love the poll idea. I would suggest moving it up closer to the top so it is easier to see or remember to view.

    tri-foam stuck on 1 color

    Does it stay on yellow continuously or does it spray yellow and then a pause for the two missing colors and then yellow again?

    New to car washing, and would like some input please.

    Side by side covers both options and is a great advertising advantage. I know of a few locations with the same Freestyler/Vector setup that do great. I also think chemicals have more to do with drying than blower sizing. Spend some time with different chemical reps and see what they have to...

    Tokens

    After reading the intial posts I checked on a few competitors to see if they dispense tokens, whick a lot do. In the process, I thought about putting up a sign above my changer because I also have to add quarters to my machines every few weeks due to walk-offs. I put up a sign stating "this...

    Laserwash 4000 questions

    Correct me if Im wrong, but the 2nd dip switch on the LaserMind swaps between the two gearbox sizes and if the arm is set for one size and then the switch is swapped, then the arm will end up in this odd angled position. Only know this because I received a loaner once that had this happen...

    Need Advice

    After reading this thread, I will be putting up signs that read "All unclaimed and/or unattended property, no matter the value, will become mine after 20 minutes". This should solve your problems fairly quickly.
