Not yet - but I do want to take the time someday to figure it out. I know it is worth it - I get so much positive feedback from customers and I know it is a big hit that shows results. I do my best to tell customers to have their car as clean as possible to maximize the result before using...

Yes - the ceramic products are more than the standard spray waxes. However, they work extremely well and generally can be applied at varying dilution levels. For instance , if you are applying it as a $4 add on to a top package, you might use 120:1. A monthly wash package might go with a...

Not very

Always exciting to watch this process - thanks for sharing and all the best of luck to you!

Duck bill for double overhead, round for single overhead. V- shape for flash dry immediately after drying agent final rinse.

Are you talking about for side drying, or overheads? I like the mammoth for the sides and duck bill for twin blowers on the top center. The round or rectangular extension is good for blowers mounted in such a way that they aim down at a 45° angle from the top corners of the arch. They will...

I certainly understand the friction thing - I operate a tunnel, but if you are already an established touchfree site, that potential buyer could alienate your customer base. I don’t think I would make a wholesale change to a successful model, with or without a new machine. But he’s the buyer...

Right. Some of our decisions are made for us!

You can recoup with your selling price with a newer premium machine.

Not a pettit owner, but from the factory videos I have watched, the nozzles have larger openings and use more water to create larger droplets and more impact. So a 5° might not look like a traditional 5°. Plus, they oscillate, so coverage can occur without needing to overlap. Something like...

I like Sonny’s equipment. They have multiple mitter and top brush choices. As far as I know, McNeil only offers a top brush. Sonny’s has a very simple gravity based wrap design with the option to install spider wraps. McNeil’s wrap system seems over -engineered and overly complex to me...

There is also the visual perception of the customer to consider. Some people will be hesitant to completely enter the bay, even if prompted with the signal light. If the car exiting under the blowers is moving very slowly, they will be uncomfortable with distance. Others won’t have any...

What if you go outside of the building with the dryers - even a few feet out, or whatever you would need to get the next car to enter.

That’s your call - I just think for the sake of throughput and cph, I would want off board drying no matter what I bought.

Why would you need onboard dryers with the 360? Don’t they have an option to use drive through? That alone would be a big factor in my decision, not to mention many other considerations.
