    Nozzles on WashWorld Razor/Profile

    It was the height when we installed the wash. We never changed it. Incidentally we found we weren't hitting the very bottom of the tires but with the blast tech on we now do.

    Nozzles on WashWorld Razor/Profile

    On a washworld razor you can't use turbo nozzles all round as the soap comes out of the wand so you will not get the coverage as its applied in low pressure. I did however fit one onto the very bottom nozzle just to get better wheel and front bumper bug cleaning. It made a positive difference!

    Coleman Hanna going the way of the dodo? Other options?

    We have replaced a WW 2.0 and are in the process of replacing another. Both with Razors. Our Razor is 6 months old and I must admit customers seem to love the unit. I was really happy with the 2.0 but can't see the point of replacing an old machine with the same machine.

    Simple, reliable stainless steel workhorse? Any thoughts?

    I think their are some Oasis I5 washes now in Australia. Here's the YouTube link. Might be worth visiting.

    Advice on WW Razor & SoftGloss issues

    When the water is back up just manually switch things on and keep an eye our for blockages. A by product of pipes that only occasionally freeze is that any dirt stuck on the inner lining of the pipes gets dislodged and so you get crap blocking nozzles and valves for a few days after a thaw.

    Site leasing advice

    We will have options to extend the leases and I am only looking at sites that are within an hour of my home. I hear you on the remote access Mac, that's a game changer in my book.

    Site leasing advice

    Hi all, I am about to embark on setting up a chain of touchless car wash centres all single bays with no ss but 3 vacs on exits. I am opening discussions with site owners but what do you guys normally negotiate in regards to the buying works. We will get 10 year leases and supply the washes and...

    light show

    We have a Razor with the lighted arm and on board light package. It is outside so no building and on a bright day you see the lights so it attracts attention but is not very showy in the car. When it's cloudy or at night it is great. We now sell more washes after dark as customers often bring...

    Car Wash Scents

    Eric is definitely not a bathtub blender but a knowledgeable manufacturer and he has some great products. I guess he is being refreshingly honest about fragrances in our car wash chemistry. Like smoking or drinking if you know the risks and still do it then at least you made an informed choice...

    Petit wash. Owners opinions

    It seems a few forum members were in the process of buying or have bought the petite iba. Just wondering if the speed and clean lives up to the hype. In particular how does it clean vehicle hoods and wheels.

    Applying tri-foam over presoak

    We set our Oasis xp to put tri foam on after the second pass which is high pH. It works great and gives good show during dwell time. It is targeted at the upper parts of the vehicle only though so it does not affect the pre soak on the dirtiest parts. On our Razor it was no good as the presoak...

    Razor edge vs Xr7

    We installed a Razor 4 a few months back and are very impressed with it. We added tru foam, foam n flow, lighted wand and spectra Ray and can honestly say our customer feedback is the best we have ever had.

    I also use Quest total shield Extreme and also use the wash several times a week but have not had any issues with build up.

    WW2.0 Alarm19

    If you are looking down from above that dial then turn it clock wise a half turn at a time. I always set that up at about a 45 degree angle so I can hit the bottom of low vehicles. The more you turn the dial clockwise, the greater the air pressure and the higher it will tilt.

    Which country are you located in? Your choice of presoaks is quite limited in Europe.

    D and s iq 2.0 vs oasis xp

    I installed an Oasis XP and think it's a great machine, very few moving parts, fast and gives a really good wash. I have never seen an iq2. 0 in the flesh so cannot really say how good or bad it is. But for what it's worth, the XP is a great machine

    water wizzard leaking pump stand compartments

    Another option is to remove the entire chemical mixing tanks, mount a board and then attach injectors. You can use one of the big chemical pumps to feed the injectors if you pressure feed the pump to get the needed 200 PSI to supply the injectors. I haven't done this, but I know a guy that did...
