    WASHBOT unit- finally a new technology to the carwash industry

    Rph9168, I tend to think that over a hundred touch free washes, a few conveyors , self service and bunch of brush washes gives me the experience to form an opinion. Touch free versus brush is an argument that is moot in this case. People make money with both. Cost wise, my numbers show that...

    WASHBOT unit- finally a new technology to the carwash industry

    Many things not visible by video. Yes. Yes. Yes and yes. See my earlier post that lists several things I find interesting. I also find it interesting that no one has mentioned the fact that you can reset it by smart phone and that you can purchase by smart phone and over the Internet. Does seem...

    WASHBOT unit- finally a new technology to the carwash industry

    It is not a robotic arm. What I have seen is very practical. Time will tell as word gets out. I advise honest investigation over opinion. Even my own.

    WASHBOT unit- finally a new technology to the carwash industry

    Sir, I would rather leave it up to good people of this forum to verify for themselves what is good and bad. Your experience has a dictated what you believe, my experiences influence what I believe. I find it very difficult to listen to someone who hasn't even looked at the wash physically and...

    WASHBOT unit- finally a new technology to the carwash industry

    Obviously you maintain a product bias of your own. You have an owner and an experienced Manager with the responsibilities of over 200 carwashes of various makes and models with over 20 years of experience telling you that there is something good out in the market. You choose to ignore the...

    WASHBOT unit- finally a new technology to the carwash industry

    I don't know the details but the combo wash is about 168K, I think. Maybe Patrick would know. Oh, and I think that is with normal install included?? When it come to sales stuff, I zone out. I am a techie at heart.

    I can't convince you. You haven't been there to see it. It does. I can make a Laser 4000 do a top notch clean with 3 minutes and 38 seconds. Do it all the time on a pot load of washes.

    WASHBOT unit- finally a new technology to the carwash industry

    Nozzle technology is new and different. easily adjustable angle of impingement is another. If He tells you, he would have to kill you ;) Better mapping. from a service standpoint there are differences in bearing application and design. Every manufacturer is enamored with their own ideas...

    WASHBOT unit- finally a new technology to the carwash industry

    Bob, That seems to be a slightly premature categorization. What i have seen is real innovation with practical applications. The faster process speeds are there. Patrick could answer better than I can why he slowed it down, but i believe I answered your concern in my previous post. To answer...

    WASHBOT unit- finally a new technology to the carwash industry

    I have been to this wash and know Pete. I have been a Service manager for over a decade with experience with all brands. I am responsible for over 200 car washes. This thing is light years ahead of anything I've seen. First the wash times of 9 minutes is not exactly correct. Patrick has it...
