Does anyone have a Tire Shine/Air Machine Combo?

[coincarwash.ca]

looking for feedback on a stand alone Tire Shine/Air Machine Combo. Do they make money? Do customers use them? I dont want to drop $3000 and it not be a profitable item.

I have a stand alone tire machine. I think I've made $8.00 on it since I opened end of July.

HAve stand alone tire inflators. They make $. Just don't expect vac type revenue.

You'd want it somewhere easy to access, visible and where you can clean up the residue.

If you do put one in, ask for separate hour meters for both air and tire shine. It would be helpful info to see the use ratio.

Have an out of service Tire Shine machine I bought decades ago. It was made by effex I think and used the same venturi type applicator found on air freshener machines. IT was a PITA to maintian with the trigger switch and left a residue mess. Kept it in case I wanted to convert the case to make a tire inflator at some point.

I made my own tire shine machine a couple of years ago. It has done Ok but does leave a mess on the black top around it. I plan on modifying it next spring by adding the simoniz tire shine wand in place of the trigger gun and short brush. The longer simoniz wand should be easier to use for the customer.
