Best of luck to you Earl. Always enjoyed reading your posts and appreciated all the contributions you’ve made to the forum. Don’t be a stranger!

The velvet touch is a conveyorized system. Is the conveyor still installed and functioning?

She obviously could read well enough to know she could come back 7 times without paying.

Maybe a nice non staining red dye mixed in!

Might bump you down to an A- rating!

I don’t offer membership plans but I can totally see that happening. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a common occurrence. A lot of places offer the first month at a discount and I’m sure when the second month bumps up to the regular price some people think they are getting scammed. Its just...

Is it alright to apply it to a hot wheel in the summer?

And even with that, there may not have been an x stream history that long ago. The proprietor has most likely been in the industry that long, but not necessarily manufacturing these machines for that long.

Part of it might be the fact that they are both inverted L machines on an overhead bridge. The Razor is light years ahead of your 4000, but on the surface they mechanically look very similar, and you might be subconsciously thinking you need something different looking for $400k. A gantry...

Belanger is good, but pricey as stated before. But there a lot of them if you keep an eye on car wash consignment.

Yes - that makes sense for an in-bay express with chemical, rinse, sealer etc. arches all off board. A Petit should not need that though.

A bay with 75 feet should have a conveyor. It’s a waste of space to put an IBA in that size bay. The only time I have ever seen an IBA in a bay that long was when someone took out an underperforming conveyor wash and converted it to and IBA.

Before I read your whole post I was thinking exactly what you said. Maybe a kink of some type that occurs when the trolly flexes it in a certain position. If it was on every hp function, I’d guess the bridge movement caused a kink. Let us know and good luck.

I had to bring an outdoor rug to a laundromat last week to use one of their large oversized commercial washers. It was $13 for cold water, $14 for warm water and $15 for hot. I didn’t think it was unreasonable at all. There was no other way I could wash it. We can’t be hesitant to charge 2025...

Lots of good options. The newest generation of Belanger mitters will have a much smaller footprint than their equipment from 23 years ago. The only thing I don’t like is their side to side mitters - they tend to split down both sides of the car instead of remaining on the tops. Sonny’s...

You’re left with 19k annually. Is that worth your time?

Nice looking wash!

Looks fantastic!

Whoever removed all the equipment really wasn’t thinking- you can ask a lot more for a wash that is functioning. Even if things need to be repaired and replaced, you can at least start off in business. This will be totally non functional as a business until you have all the installation done.

Great to hear from you I.B. Your typing is way better than mine!
