I'm getting ready to make some upgrades and am considering adding Tri-Foam conditioner and HP clearcoat protectant in the bays (in addition to an Air Shammee in 1 or 2 bays). We have a D/H 2900 setup and offer T/E cleaner, Presoak, HP Soap, LP "Wax," Foam Brush, and Spot-Free.
If we go with Tri-Foam, I'd eliminate our LP Wax function so we'd have an empty hydrominder tank to use. I suppose I could use that tank for a Bug Buster product, but would it be possible to convert it to a HP clearcoat protectant function instead? If not, what's the best way to add that to our current menu?
What kind of setup would you recommend for Tri-Foam? A tank or tankless system (i.e., using dosatrons)? All 3 colors at once, or one at a time? Whose equipment would you recommend? D/H or another "specialist," or a generic system from Windtrax, Dultmeier, Kleen-Rite, or National Pride? BTW, I hate dealing with D/H... their prices are high, but they make up for that with terrible service.
We're also revamping our meter boxes (and installing credit card readers) and switching to a rotary dial system. I still have "a day or two" to decide between a 10- or 12-function rotary switch. Any recommendations there? Is 12 functions "too much?"
If you were setting up your "optimal" menu of functions, what would it look like? This:?
0 - Stop
1 - Tire & Engine Cleaner
2 - Bug Buster
3 - Presoak
4 - Soap
5 - Foaming Brush
6 - Rinse
7 - Triple Foam Conditioner
8 - Rinse
9 - Clearcoat Protectant
10 - Spot-Free Rinse
11 - Blow Dryer
Are two rinse functions necessary? Would you go with a 10-function switch and combine Bug Buster & Presoak and just have one rinse stop?
I appreciate all feedback! Thanks!
