I wouldn't ever buy a rollover friction unit without a top brush, foam brushes or a good support group (i.e. a good distributor). There's a reason why most new tunnels have moved to top brushes as opposed to mitter curtains. They don't work and you constantly have to clean them, since they are...

If you're that busy then it might be a pretty good idea. I would though consider having it attended. The general public struggles with loading unassisted and remembering to put it in neutral... If you do one more car per hour then the attendant is paid for and your wash will also be cleaner...

Good product and easy to install

I can't believe there are any pictures of one of these out there. This was Ryko's first touch free wash. It was a horrible failure. It even had a mitter curtain, which made sooo much sense on a touch-free wash. They looked neat but did not function very well.

I agree. I attached a picture of a friends site, where he did a mud bay. [ATTACH=CONFIG]536

My wife's favorite movie.

The coinco vantage can handle it. You'll make a lot more money. I wouldn't own a wash without bill acceptors in the bays.

I also think if it's brick walls then you should just cover them with FRP, which you can by at Lowe's or Home Depot or you could even do better with NuForm wall panels. Your wash will look completely different. It shows your customers that you are committed.

You gotta love pro active suppliers!

I need to do mine. I thought the new board was supposed to have some kind of texting feature. I'd really hate to loose my paging.

I felt that everybody's industry outlook was high. Maybe the sun will come up tomorrow. We had a spell there where a lot of bad decisions were made by manufactures and wanna be operators. I think we may be on the positive side of the industry's economic self correction.

My water company just raised my rates by 50%. Even with reclaim, I'm still paying a crazy amount. I'd do anything to cut that bill.

Nice looking set up. Are the arches also Motor City? The look like Belanger.

Lucky! I wish someone would give me a free re-model at my old wash. I'd look hard at Etowah Valley's meter boxes with the push buttons. I've been very happy with them.

I've had luck getting those from Grainger
