Ours has been way down, but our automatic has been down for almost 3 weeks, so that has drastically hurt us.

We are planning on installing credit card equipment in our wash in the spring or summer this year. We have a 4 bay self serve, all of which is Ryko signature series equipment, and a Ryko R7B Ultraclean with a AMTT paystation. I was planning on installing CryptoPay in the self serve bays, and...

Here is a video of it from a time the top brush was not working correctly and wouldn't raise on certain cars. I'm not certain on the year, I can get back to you on that, but it is definitely in the 2000's. http://youtu.be/1RtwXyOVqH8

We have a Ryko R7B Ultraclean that is less than 10 years old. It came retrofited with Foambrite. It has tall rear arms, and no pinwheels. I hope nothing major breaks, because parts are a pain to find.

It comes in an aerosol can. I just spray it on. I used to use WD-40, I dont remember the last time I used WD-40 since I bought Fluid Film. I know you can also get it in gallon sized cans, but I havent tried that yet.

I love fluid film. I use it on anything that moves or anything that could rust. John Deere dealers carry it. That is the only place I have seen it around me.

I use Simple Green on the panels to get the dirt and scum off and Meguiar's PlastX Cleaner and polisher to finish. It's like 5 dollars a bottle on amazon. It's the same stuff I use on convertible soft top windows. Don't use anything that could scratch the panels like a scotchbrite pad. I just...

I have my main weep solenoid connected to a Weepmizer, so if one bay is in use, the others continue to weep. However, the HP Soap tank is the only one that is filled by the weep. I built a temporary check valve from pvc parts from the soap tank and I am adding real check valves inline under the...

Yep, It's a signature series and looks just like that. Mine doesn't have those check valves there. Hmm... looks like I will have to order some.

Normally my weep goes into that brass block and out to the bays from there, the three colored lines are chemical lines from the chemical tank that also normally go out to the bays. I have a issue where when the weep turns on, some of the weep water feeds back through the orange line on the...

I was recently looking for a new screen for my Ryko AMTT. Every price I found seemed like a lot for a small black and white screen. I ended up finding a company who used to make similar screens. They discontinued that particular screen and are selling their remaining inventory at $10 a screen. I...

I use these. They are for 1/4 inch hose. I heat they up with a heat gun to get them over the fitting and onto the hose. After I get everything put together I heat them up again and push them as far down toward the gun as I can.

We use a 3/8 inch hose in the boom and a 1/4 inch hose from the end of the boom to the gun. I found the 1/4 inch hose is lighter and easier to maneuver around the bay with. I also noticed the chemicals switch faster when using 1/4 inch hose. I think my 1/4 inch hoses didn't last as long as the...

I like the idea of using it to dry the vehicle. What if you could seal the dome somehow and have a hose come out with a air shammie or blasto dry nozzle on the end?

I have a Ryko AMTT autocashier with a Mars bill acceptor and occasionally it will take the customers 5 or 10 dollar bill and not give any credit. I have not been able to replicate the issue and thought it was customers occasionally trying to scam me, but I witnessed it the other day when a...
