In November 2014, we replaced 1 side-to-side and 2 front-to-back mitters with a top brush with a top wheel and front-to back mitter from Belanger and the difference was significant. Windshields come out perfect and only the worst bird droppings have some leftover. As for the retract, the wheel...

Just bought a Goff G2 door. It works great and keeps the bay much warmer than our old folding plastic strip wind curtain. The problem is that despite the clear panels, it looks very dark from the road and we look closed. I'd like to put some white reflective letters that spell "OPEN" across the...

The mast mount was probably loose on the fender. Dodge Rams are notorious for this. All masts and their mounts should be checked for a tight connection.

If it's buildup from reclaim, wall or equipment cleaner will do.

We had our isp router split in two and got a block of 8 static ips. One side of the router was dedicated to our manager's computer, the POS and our credit card with one static ip. The rest went on the other side. Our camera has its own ip. A guy came in and did it for us. Not that expensive. He...

Had one come in, get on the conveyor then realized it wouldn't go into neutral. The "N" wasn't backlit on the display and the selector would just skip over it between a backlit "R" and "D".

How about rolling them up with an elastic band? Too big?

Installed quickfires last November. We check all rear wipers for structural integrity. The only real problem ones are the flat exposed type that attach in the middle (VW, Audi, BMW, Ford Explorer, ...). 2 pieces of tape, 3" apart does the trick. 1 piece of tape and a "We're not responsible"...

We haven't had a collision since we got it but had to get a lighted wait/go sign for several reasons. We're front wheel push and have touchless dryers with VFDs. Some cars take off early during the pause at the exit. Bad dry so "WAIT". Some drivers get completely off the conveyor and flake out...

Equipment/wall cleaner should do the trick. We had the same problem last month. Stepped up from Simple Green, wheel cleaner then finally the wall cleaner. Complicating this was that we use reclaim to wet the foam and cloth. We hadn't kept up with regular buildup removal so it took a couple of...

It's as fast as we care to go. It's 25-30 years old and that powerpack really heats up at higher speeds. I should have qualified.

85 cars per hour

Only one pair but the new conveyor should open up some room for more equipment. A second pair is one of our options.

In response to Teebox's question (What did Belanger offer that lets you not prep?) in the "Replacing Conveyor" thread, Belanger fully automated the wheel cleaning process and their top wheel and Quick Fire wraps do a great job on the windshield, fronts and backs, respectively. We get them on as...

Refuse service and tell them why. Most people understand and will adjust if they want to use your wash. You don't need the rest. They only come in when it's busy, spend the least and cry when it isn't perfect.

I'll start another thread to address no prep.

Last November, we gutted our tunnel except for the conveyor and replaced everything with Belanger. We wanted to do volume faster with no prep and it has performed admirably. There have been some hiccups but all has been corrected. In exchange for a two year commitment to Turtle Wax chemical, we...

Replacing my 25 year old Econocraft front wheel pull with a Belanger rear wheel push. Very excited. Will report.

Had a customer pull over with a passenger side flat at the exit. Filled it for them and they drove off. They came back claiming that we damaged the INSIDE sidewall of the tire! Could not convince them that we didn't do it. They never pursued it or came back

Saying that after the fact won't win you any fans. Warn them beforehand of the danger and let them decide.
