    WashWorld Razor Running

    We did not get a dryer. We never had one on the old machine and never thought it was much of an issue. I do have a gatlan gun type setup. I don't know if it came with the machine or not. I remember some talk with my distributor about putting one on. I think he said he builds his own...

    WashWorld Razor Running

    The first thing that got me interested in Wash World was the reviews I read from people here on the forum. I don't recall anyone saying anything negative about them so I contacted my distributor and got the ball rolling. Before I even bought one I figured I would try out their tech support. I...

    WashWorld Razor Running

    Bubbles, Given the fact that I am in Northern Pennsylvania, yesterday we didn't start washing cars 'till 10am. It was 12 degrees overnight and warmed up to 20 by 10am so we opened. From 10 am 'till 6am this morning (stayed in the high teens overnight so we left it open) we washed 117 cars...

    WashWorld Razor Running

    We just got our Razor up and running this past weekend. Other than normal start up issues, crossed wire, plugged tip-everything went flawlessly. We have only been washing cars for 2 days so my experience with this machine is preliminary. So far the things I like are: 1. The pumping plant...

    Advice on IBA's

    Great point. My old distributor was 4 hours away. Kinda sucks to start out with a $600.00 bill before any work is even done to the machine. My Wash World distributor is 30 minutes away. I am sure I'm gonna like that. Also, after I placed my order, a few days later I received a Fed Ex with a...

    Advice on IBA's

    I am about a week away from starting up my Razor for the first time. From what I can tell so far, it looks like a rather easy machine to work on. The off board pumping plant appears to be well thought out and pretty much straight forward. Time will tell when it's up and running.

    Best way to move an automatic car wash?

    Hi Pat, The welded nuts that the track locks bolt to all broke and had to be cut. EVERY bolt that wasn't stainless needed cut. Under carriage bar, HP hoses, low pressure hoses from utility room to gantry, doors, seriously everything that was not a stainless bolt. Funny thing is is the track...

    WashWorld Razor

    I am having a new WW Razor installed in two weeks and was wondering if anyone has one and had any tips or areas of concern I should be aware of? Replacing a MK 7 GT500, so I am familiar with an auto. Just looking for any heads up tips if anyone has any. Thanks-Scott

    Best way to move an automatic car wash?

    Moving Machine Yesterday, I removed a 5 year old MK 7 GT 500 with 75,000 washes from my place. You wouldn't believe how corroded and rusted some of the parts were. Most of the items we planned to unbolt had to be torched or cut with a sawsall. My only point is that you should plan on...

    A little bit of humor to start or end your day

    it's almost hunting season... Venison vs. Beef: The controversy ends From the U.S. Venison Council Controversy has long raged about the relative quality and taste of venison and beef as gourmet foods. Some people say venison is tough, with a strong "wild" taste. Others insist venison's...

    Whats Up with Wash World ?

    I was thinking about buying a Wash World last fall so I called the company to ask some questions. My call was taken and I spoke to a service tech for about an hour. I was very impressed with the whole structure of that company. although I didn't buy a new machine last fall, I bought one this...

    A little bit of humor to start or end your day

    I was in the pub yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to fart. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my farts with the beat. After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my pint and noticed that everybody was staring at me. Then I suddenly...

    Mark VII PreSoak Pump (off board)

    After replacing my Orberdorfer pumps more times than I care to remember on my GT 500, I finally took the whole system out and put in the FloJet G57 pump about 2 years ago. Only problem I have is the exhaust port on the FloJet has a tendency to ice up when we are busy and the outside air temp is...

    Does triple foam system increase income enough

    I put tri foam in a rather busy wash I built. I didn't go through one single bucket of concentrate in the 2 years I owned that wash. I wouldn't even consider putting it in my older washes.

    It was said that there would not be a black man as President of the United States until pigs flew. Well, one hundred days into Barack Obama's presidency, swine flu.
