Profile

[Roz]

Our rep discouraged us from multiple brush passes but we do use the F4P option on the top two packages. We also include the HP Arm and power wheels so we have a lot going on. It is a neat machine would love to see if we can make it faster in the future but still a huge step up from the Istobal.

What's the "F4P" option?

 

[Roz]

Double pass. Can be for the front, back, or both.

We now have 2 bays -- one with a Profile and one with a Razor. We offer all 4 of our pkgs. on both machines. The Razor was just recently installed, having gone into service in early Sept. So far, we are still seeing more use of the Profile than the Razor. But this is South Texas and those guys in the pick-ups love those brushes.

Cheetah you’ve had the profile now for a while. I believe it was you who posted something about having to reset it once a day when a customer is offsides. Am I remembering correctly? How often does that happen?

 

[Blanco]

Blanco, I'm guessing you're thinking the Oasis Typhoon?
I have kinda heard Petit is overrated & overpriced. But, I can't say from personal ownership.
Im betting Mac meant 4inutes...?

How did you know? HAHA

Couldn't 1 arm, say passenger side, go across front, then overhead wash it as well? Then on back, Drivers side wash across, followed by overhead?
Seems like that is enough, & anything more is redundant & a waste of time/products/ etc...
Or, am I wrong here?

This only happens occaisonally, not daily. It usually resets itself; and we can sometimes do it remotely.

I’m sure there are some for sure, Mac, but when I see 15-20 cars stacked up at Pay Stations for Express Exteriors, I’m not sure if everyone is on the touch free page just yet.

It’d be great to see the pics - please do send them when you are done.

I think express exteriors are two different animals. For instance you can put an automatic in places where an express exterior will not fit.

That is true. Or where volume will not warrant a tunnel. I think my comment was more an observation that the motoring public, at large, still seems to be pretty OK with friction, given the success of express tunnels. Now a new build IBA may certainly warrant touchless in some locations where that is the preference. I think they are a great response to the overbuilding of express tunnels. 24 hour operation, no attendants, clean a larger variety of vehicle shapes and sizes etc.

You and I are on the same page with the arm passes.

You and I are on the same page with the arm passes.

Ok, have you tried it doing that, & if so, hows the cleaning & speed?

 

[Roz]

Yes. It cleans as a TF but not as well as the razor. We are going to keep things all soft or all TF.

I mean is this how you are running it? If so, is this cleaning really good, & relatively fast?
