    calling on new and used car dealerships

    We tried the local dealership route as well. It seemed to be a natural fit and a wonderful fit. The used lots ended up not paying their bill for 90 days and wanted complete details for $4.99 exterior washes. Endless threats and never satisfied. We even had one guy come in and claim we stripped...

    Tire Dressing unit putting black goo on wheels

    It also sounds to me as if you are applying dressing to a dirty tire. The goo you are getting is the grime the dressing is removing when being rubbed onto the tires. Clean the tires before application and you'll get much better results and a "goo" free car. I can attest to the results of the...

    NS vs Hanna CAR WASH SYSTEM

    Out of curiosity, is there a reason you aren't considering Ceccato Equipment? They are on your side of the pond being based in Italy. They have tunnel equipment already spec'd to european voltages and procedures.

    Can this be true ?

    UPDATE ... I received an e-mail they released to the press and it contained one very interesting sentence: "Right now we cannot even legally take our vehicle that has our PICC installed on the public highways." I think they may be on to something, but until it is tested and proven, I'm...

    Karcher engineering continues to cost money and lost revenue

    The easiest future prevention tip I can give you will cost you about $20. Go get two tubes of DiElectric grease. Take the plugs apart and fill both sides as best you can then re-connect. Smear the excess around the outside and into the grooves. Repeat on the next plug. This will prevent the...

    Laserwash 4000 questions

    I also thought that having the spray arm "tilted" it would help remove the dirt by adding an extra bit of "friction" and also add a reflective quality to the rinse process getting the water off the car a bit faster. My buddy said it "looked bad" and would rather have it straight. So, I...

    Laserwash 4000 questions

    Will Do. I am replacing the Prox Target "T" for the dryer as well. It was rusty and thin. I think the biggest improvement I can make is to set the prox switches closer to the targets. Right now the gap is an incredible 3/4" away. I've always set up the prox switches to be under 1/4" from the...

    Automatic Installaions

    VERY good question! I approach every install, no matter what the machine is, with the goal of installing it so it can do the best possible job that it is capable of doing. Every machine has it's strong points as well as weak points. Since I sell nothing ( until very recently) I had no part in...

    Automatic Installaions

    NHT Isn't the only one seeing your point. Not only do i see your point, I've been doing exactly what you're proposing for almost a decade. I am a "free lance Installer" as well as Distributor for machinery and chemicals. The latter part of my qualifications have just been added as the install...
