    Flash Drying

    I can not tell from the video for sure, it looks like your nozzle is aimed towards the exit of the wash. I tried this for a couple days then went back. I personally would flip the nozzle so it would blow water up and over the windshield.

    Refurbishing Equipment Appearance

    @Diamond Wash ChemQuest Chem-Brite Aluminum Brightner. Works fantastic on PVC walls and cleans arches up real nice. But the equipment has years of **** baked on. I have recomended this stuff to other washes. I stand by it.

    Refurbishing Equipment Appearance

    I have seen operators re-paint their arches/gantries and it looked very nice! But I question how to do it properly so that the paint lasts longer before it starts wearing away. I have used HF based aluminum brightener on the equipment and even sanded the aluminum before, its far too tedious...

    mitter or top brush?

    Abusing retracts

    So I have been with this new wash for a short while and I'm trying to figure out exactly what the issue is and why they retract there wraps as much as they do. Obviously there is not a strait answer to this problem and the only way to find out is to experiment. However they retract the wraps...
