Maybe Mark VII would work. I’ve seen their wash systems at very small bays and they seem to work great.

Thanks for letting me know! Luckily, the owner was here and rewashed our car in one of the LW360 Bays. I was thinking it was an emergency rinse. I assume the emergency button was pressed and I’m sure the owner called PDQ

This was actually the Chelmsford location. The Westford location has a Tandem SurfLine.

Wow, $3000 to convert an an old floor treadle is indeed a total rip off. I agree with Friesmanic. But still, I prefer the virtual treadle. A SoftGloss MAXX that was installed in 2016 also had the 2 floor treadles, but they were causing so many problems, (including some tire damages) they...

I personally think that Sonny’s dryers are the best bet. a typhoon near me put those mammoth nozzles in which replaced old Superior units and they work amazing.

Check out Istobal. They are very popular in European countries.

You might wanna check out WashWorld. A ton of old LW4000 units near me have all been replaced with WW RAZORS. It’s a great machine.

You should definitely add a friction bay. It’ll be nice for the customers to have a choice. Once I build my wash, I’ll do the exact same thing.

I would go for the RAZOR. the RAZOR has the Virtual Attendant feature which if the arm hits an object like a mirror or bike rack, it maneuvers around it. It also seems the RAZOR is much faster than the LaserWash.

Agreed. The cube is a really interesting machine. The freestyler acts like a SoftGloss kinda.

I’ve been to many many washes that have Premier dryers. Heck, I’ve been in a tunnel from the 1980’s that installed Premier dryers in place of some old Belanger Air Stream units. They work much better than the older ones. Might go for a set of them when I open my wash.

Interesting. A similar incident happened with a Ryko OHD Us2001 back when it was still there before it got replaced with a SoftGloss MAXX. Thank you for telling me!

I have Autism and I have a huge interest in the car wash industry. I’m planning onto opening a wash when I get older.

This is the link of the video of the ProTouch tandem breaking down. What happened here? Was it an issue with the programming? It stopped all of a sudden and it appeared to to an emergency rinse. The dryers started and the front brush moved in front of our car and went to the side. Dryers then...
