    Alternative RFID

    I've been using the Xpress wash RFID system for 2 years now. Nothing but problems and it's always someone else's fault starting with the installation by the distributer, internet, antenna aiming, employee's entering tags wrong, etc... Some tags work, others don't. I can't think of a single 2...

    Ford Taurus roof strips blowing out

    Anyone out there having issues with the roof strips blowing off the newer Ford Taurus? I've had 4 in four months blowing out when exiting the dryer room. My dryers are the McNeil 15hp. What should I do to fix the problem? Thanks -Kevin

    D&s iq

    Jimbeaux, Nothing new to report other than it's still cleans better than any inbay I've seen. The material does all the cleaning along w/ HP rocker blast for the rockers and wheels. The pressure is regulated by the scan of the car so every inch of it is touched equally. Which brings up another...

    I don't believe so. I recall my distributer saying something about them building a touchless on the IQ platform.

    UPDATE: It's now been over 3 months since install of the new IQ. I'm happy to say that we are averaging over 65 trouble free cars per day. We did have a few computer glitches related to the install but the team at D&S made short work of them! No regrets so far. -Kevin

    Entry Gates

    Hey all. I'm looking for opinions on what entry gate you all are using and where is a good place to order them. I've been looking at some liftmaster gates but I want to compare them with others. Thanks -Kevin

    Which Manufacture and why?

    This is excellent advice and what I have been doing over the past few weeks. I visited a MacNeil tunnel in Northern Indiana and flew up to the Detroit area and viewed about 6 Peco tunnels. I ultimately decided on Harrell's in Indy. They will be installing MacNeil equipment in a new 110ft...
