    red lion control damage

    Depends how technically inclined you want to get. First things first, if you want to try to preserve your programming, get your SD card or whatever storage medium the HMI uses out of it. Now, go up to the screen and shine a flashlight right on the screen and try to make anything out. If you can...

    Financing for a closed wash needing new equipment

    What's the IBA? Just curious. The equipment may not need an overhaul and may have a simple issue (I understand wanting to replace it, but I think it's at least worth a shot to try and run it as is for financial reasons.)

    Old Super Wash

    Rest in peace to the Monorail, those things are workhorses. But that remodel is definitely worth it, it looks great! Do you have the full in-bay express and a combination wash?

    Dry brush washers. I can’t keep doing this

    I had a customer scream at me because the spot free rinse wasn't high pressure. I just tried to be as respectful as possible and explained to him to no avail. Reported the review on Google for being non-legitimate and it got taken down. If possible, if you can't/don't want to report it, you can...

    6 Bay Car Was without Equipment info

    I'm just assuming he did at one point as he appeared on the employee directory.

    Some car wash "history"

    Our wash used to be National Pride. It was Wheatley Pump. They're still in business, actually and I'm trying to find what model we used to have as we still have the controller for it!

    6 Bay Car Was without Equipment info

    Magic Wand made similar looking equipment. It could have been them. Try contacting Istobal as Istobal absorbed them. From what I heard, the CEO of Magic Wand works there as well so you should be able to obtain them. They gave me the whole "we dont have them" runaround then when I asked to make...

    Monorail?? Unknown in bay at our wash

    Sorry for the long response, just trying to tackle as much info as possible. The "Pronorail" is still running great, it needs a little TLC which I've been trying to tackle, but isn't showing any immediate signs of failure other than we had to add a weight to the top spray bar. I think Pro...

    Midland Car Wash Manufacturing

    I did on a previous post and nobody could pin it down.

    QualTec LLC

    Does anyone know if QualTec LLC is still in business? Their site doesn't work anymore. They are a Magic Wand equipment manufacturer that still makes some older Magic Wand machines (like the E-Series) and packages them as the "Cyclone" car wash. They also make chemicals.

    Midland Car Wash Manufacturing

    I saw a sticker on our sign going to Midland Car Wash Manufacturing. I looked up their side using archive.org (midlandcarwash.com) and none of the images load. Does anyone have images of their automatics? I'm trying to identify ours.

    Monorail?? Unknown in bay at our wash

    Yeah I’m not sure about super wash. This place was never a super wash yet it has “property of Super Wash” on it. One of our other locations used to be a super wash so I’m guessing it came from there

    Monorail?? Unknown in bay at our wash

    Apparently the auto was put in around the 60s early 70s

    Monorail?? Unknown in bay at our wash

    This picture is when someone broke our undercarriage and we were looking for parts. My colleagues said he said that it used to go all the way to the other side of the bay but I’m not sure if he was talking about this wash in particular

    Monorail?? Unknown in bay at our wash

    We bought this wash a while ago, it used to be National Pride. It has what we think is an old monorail. Nobody here knows for sure who made it. One of my colleagues said he thought it was American Pride and had a single Wheatley pump, but I’ve never heard of them. Will grab a pic of the auto...
