Yes I recently stopped a LP rinse pass. I slowed down the hp rinse to compensate, but it’s still less water. I’d like to slow down the SFR pass, it just won’t produce it fast enough. Yesterday l had at least 70 cars through the touchless and was running out of SFR water. The soap salesman is...

Like myself, it wasn’t too stable.

Could anyone tell me if white spots on the vehicle could be from too much ceramic coat? That’s the only thing I’ve changed recently. I’ve heard one of the old pros on here talk about “ just enough to break the water” but I think that was about wax. I pulled the wires off the solenoid and noticed...

I made scaffolding out of pipe, about 8’ tall with protective railing on top of that. I put the FEL of my tractor on it and used a log chain and binder to secure it to the bucket. I built it specifically for laying bricks on my house. I guess I could trailer it to the wash. I bet if I stood in...

Very! And I even had my dad holding the ladder. I’m not sure about the height. These $100 bulbs are ridiculous.

Update. I had changed presoak nozzles and they have wider bases. When the tilt cylinder turned, the side panel flexed just enough from the bigger nozzle bases to shadow the eye, making the machine think it was looking at a vehicle.

Maybe the boom needs work. I don’t know what maintenance they require.

Yeah I’m on a roll today. How do you, or do you hire someone to change your bulbs? How do you teeter a ladder on a 4x4 light post? I did one with an extension ladder and It wasn’t pretty. What’s the safest way?

The potential new wash has much bigger hydraulic style hoses than my other wash. It makes the wash process clumsy and the booms don’t move smoothly. Does anyone use these?

Hey everyone I noticed two fails today. After reviewing the video, the arch is traveling past the rear of the vehicle and hitting the physical stop. The alarm said “treadle photo eye”. There are only the two that tells it to stop and backup. And there’s one on the wheel that detects travel...

I had to cut out one block. Ripped out the pvc and connected long sweep 90 degree rubber ferncos to the threads on the coin boxes. Then used small sections (2 per chute) of exhaust from the auto parts store that slid together, one inside the other. It’s only been 9 months but it works perfectly...

I’m assuming it’s the same for the 3535?

Well it looks like I have a couple extra bottles of 3 in 1 to find a new use for. Glad I read this forum!

That’s good to know! I was worried it would be a headache. I was thinking about laying brick up to the bottom with an encased vault for each one. But this is very encouraging! Thanks!!

I think it’s a good real estate opportunity. If I mortgage my second home, then P&L won’t even factor in. It looked like a busy wash when I was there Saturday. However, it was unseasonably warm. It has vacuum tubes on the coin boxes and I’m still confused about that setup. My other wash has...

No financial info offered. Is that what PNL is? I think it’s just under 1/2 acre .49.

He said the only reason he’s taking less than 300 is because of no realtor. I don’t know how owner financing works. I wouldn’t know where to start. He did mention something about financing options. I just thought if I could borrow against my other property, I could go 30yr and have a more...

I was on the phone with my soap guy, trying to figure out how to get cleaner cars. He said I need to get a job. I said “I need another wash. Why don’t you ask the guy 8 miles down the road if he’ll sell?” Turns out he’s been thinking about selling it. I met with him and I like the wash, but I’m...

That’s a shame that we have to deal with all of this. I’ve met so many good hearted wonderful people though. It really makes it worthwhile. A little bit of kindness goes a long way. I’m really excited about the help washnshine gave me with the passes. I think the wash quality has improved. I was...

Yep, you’re right. It took me three calls to the police to get rid of this hemorrhoid that showed up at 2:00 Am. It was roughly noon before they were towed. Or maybe I shouldn’t share video clips in this forum as some members might see it as slightly out of context and become confused. Better...
