Well we are on our way now! Our new Belanger Kondor touchless automatic will be delivered Monday the 23rd. We have been running conduit and getting things ready for several days. We will be posting photos of the install as we go. We have to thank my father in law, my dad, Steve, James and Kenny with Service 4 Co. out of Cape Girardeau Mo. without all of these people it wouldn't be possible. We are new to the car wash business, January of this year. We had 3 self serves with 1 self serve truck bay. The automatic is going in one of the self serve bays. Stay tuned!

They look like a good machine, and less complicated than the vector, and probably wash faster without the arm changeover. I think they were alot lower in cost also than the vector, so a good choice.

Looks like the Air Lifts like I have. My motors and counter weights are all on the inside of the bay. Was there not enough clearance to put them on the inside?

Just curious, why would one want the dryers inside the bay?
Well we are really close to being ready to open. James and Kenny from Service 4 have worked very hard to get us going. These guys are the absolute best at what they do. We will post pics of the working wash in the next couple days.

The lights on the top of the unit change colors constantly, the arm goes from green when someone is pulling in to red once they are where they need to be. Our menu sign on the autocashier is still at the printer's so we have a temporary sign up. Big thanks again to James, Kenny and Steve from Service 4. Also this whole thing would not have happened without my father in law and dad. And of course, my wife.... she did a lot of the running with my mom to get us parts and was there every day to do whatever was needed. Everybody worked very hard on this. Now we need customers....

Now for the real question....how well does it clean? Are you using Blendco/Turtle Wax products? I really like the 3x foam. Most of them you use don't put on much of a "show" in my opinion, but yours looks awesome. Can that machine do the 2 step pre-soak and a super sealant?
Thanks,

Lighthouse, it does clean well. We are using the Blendco with our top wash using the new Turtle Wax Ice. It also does the 2 step presoak and we have a new mix tank for one of the presoaks.
briteauto, thanks!
