    TV Ads on 22" Monitors On Gasoline Pumps...Your Opinion On This Type of Advertising?

    They have those at the station I usually use. It also has a "volume off" button, which I usually push as I find the ads irritating. You can definitely hear them and the picture quality is good, so it might be good for you. At east check into it.

    How come there's no business?

    A few years ago I was working on a deal with an Army base to sell and install a touchless automatic to wash their fleet of cars. It was a done deal as this was the machine they wanted. At least I thought it was a done deal. By the time i got through all the hoops and red tape, I decided it just...

    weep protection for wash select 2

    There is no need to disable the WSII with a Millennium. The weep system does not shut down the wash. If the weep system is active, it will go through its weep process and still wash a car, reset, then start the weep process again. Each time a car uses the wash, it will wash the car, then start...

    Cost per wash

    The Futura systems (Revolution, Millennium, Impulse) figures come out to something like ;4 pass wash-.55, 6 pass wash-.85, 8 pass wash-1.25, 10 pass wash-1.75. These are approximate numbers advertised by Specialty and from my own calculations at my wash. Hope this helps.

    Festoon Problems

    You might want to try a product called "Fluid Film" I use it as a penetrant and a lubricant on just about everything. Works well and lasts a long time. Go to "fluidfilm.com".

    Stainless tubing for HP bay lines

    I use 3/8" s.s. tubing at my 5/1 for all the high pressure and all the installs I do, I use s.s.tubing. 3/8" for the self serv bays, 1/2" for undercarriage and 3/4" for the autos. Works well, lasts forever and easy to do, a little more up front money, but worth it in the long term.

    Who watches/runs wash when you go away?

    Of course I am serious, I have done it before and wouldn't mind doing it again. $1000.00 a week is acceptable.

    Who watches/runs wash when you go away?

    My partner and I cover for each other so we can travel, go on vacations etc. I would be happy to sit your wash for a week or two....for a price, of course. As an installer, service tech etc, your wash would be in good hands.

    Nice Wash

    While on a trip for a family reunion to Okmulgee, OK I had the pleasure of visiting the Tidal Wave Car Wash there. I was pleasantly surprised. Everything worked, got plenty of time for the money and the place was well maintained. I often use car washes when on trips and seems that most don't...

    High pressure hose problems

    Sounds to me like your equipment rep is jerking you around. Hoses should not fail after just 1 year. I would go with the ss replacement even if you have to use a better hose for the pvc runs. Run ss tubing from the equipment room to the racks etc., then if you have to, use a high quality hose...

    High pressure hose problems

    Stainless steel tubing is fairly flexible and can be pushed thru your pvc if you have the "sweep" fittings on it. Elsewhere, it can be bent with a tubing bender. I have done several tunnels this way.

    High pressure hose problems

    You might want to consider using stainless steel tubing for your high pressure lines. It is a little uncommon to have that many hose failures in such a short time.

    Apparently the new birth cert, has issues

    This idiot is dangerously incompetent and needs to be removes as soon as possible before the U.S. turns into a third world country, if it isn't too late already. Why is noone in the lame stream media not doing any research on this...are they scared?
