Thanks for that, but it turns out it was even simpler. The plunger mechanism in my supersat tank was stuck, meaning the tank didn’t fill up to the normal level and therefore the supersat wasn’t flowing, meaning the vacuum effect between the supersat and Presoak (both passing through the same...

I’ve got no supersat or Presoak coming through to my spray arch. The double-headed injector in the plant room seems to be sucking ok, although both products are still struggling to get up the tubes. In the bay for about the last month there’s been a funny ‘rattlesnake’ sound whenever Presoak is...

No it doesn’t require pre-mixing. I’m using Armorall Professional Extreme Shine Wax. I use it for my auto as well and it’s a great product.

I’m stumped with my splatter wax, which is coming out way too thick in the bays, to the point where white cars with poor paintwork are turning light pink for a week. Everything looks in order in the tank. The product is being drawn from the drum, water is gushing out from the water filler, and...

The problem is fixed. Turns out it was in the ‘pi’ device/ circuit board that powers the card reader. I originally ignored this as a possibility, as the problem was with coins and card taps, so I just assumed it couldn’t be the card device if coins weren’t working either. But I swapped the...

I’ve tried swapping the coin acceptor but no luck. I’m now focusing on the wiring.

Tried that, thanks, but no luck. It’s loading up five mins of time okay when I type in my 4 digit code I use to clean the bay for five mins, just not when I use coins, tokens or tap my card. I also rechecked every wire this morning and swopped the main circuit board out and still the same...

So I had a weird thing where two problems happened simultaneously and I’m wondering if they’re connected. The first one is fixed- tire and engine cleaner was on constantly and I couldn’t switch it off. This was a relatively easy fix where the solenoid wasn’t activating properly, so I just...

Night and day! Thanks from Townsville, Australia to all who contributed.

That’s a cool idea, thanks, but it turns out the hydrofluric does the job after all. I was assuming it wouldn’t, as it was doing nothing for my auto walls (which I was assuming were covered in the same grime as the machine), but I tried it today and it brings the white back really well and...

Thanks to everybody for those replies. Nothing I’ve used so far has made any difference, including hydrofluric acid, however I’m about to try my baking soda/ vinegar mix, and will also try all of the other suggestions and report back.

I bought a site with a ten yr old Washworld Razor which is very grubby. I heard that baking soda mixed with white vinegar will clean fibreglass, but was wondering if anybody knows of anything different/ better to make the old machine appear ‘less old’?

I’ve moved to Spain from Ireland and am currently researching the self-serve market here. It seems there is a lot of potential for various reasons and I am looking for an equity partner to help me realise it. I have built up and sold a number of washes in Australia since 2002, and am therefore...
