Ok. Of you are talking about the foam, any degreaser like dawn or and all purpose cleaner will be your best bet. Keep in mind, what you are seeing is not dirt on the surface. That’s the beauty of foam - it is close celled and does not hold dirt. You are seeing stains - like having an old rag...

Are you asking how to clean the wash foam or the structural posts/arms etc.?

You gave me idea Waxman - entrance of the building is brown, exit is bright white. “In dirty, out purdy”. 😆

They need: This Forum!

I was thinking that too - especially with the longer wait times of an IBA. I would want an egress available for anyone waiting in line.

Agree with Axxlrod. Any sort of self serve bay line will cross and block vac traffic. If you do go with an interior service. Your customers should not have to drive the length of the building and double back through the vac lines and self serve lines and traffic. It should be an ease...

That piece on a receiver angled downward should be pretty much Sun- proof.

They made Slant Brush Car Wash Systems. At the time these machines were made, there was no internet. Even if the internet was in its infancy at the time Slant went out of business, companies were not putting up websites. Slant made washes in an era when you called up the company to get...

3M where I am located would get you a decent tunnel.

Thats what I did on my personal garage door at my house.

Maybe you can try contacting Erie or Universal or Gallop. They might have replacement options for that brush.

Yes. That is exactly what I want to get away from. Neutral pH foamers.

You could offer for them to come back so you can make it right. The only issue is that if you give a rewash and it still does not clean you have not gained anything. If you have self serves, you could offer a brush wash. I wouldn’t offer much online other than to come back and make it...

Most of the operators I know don’t do a complete dry on the towels before using anyway. So whether you are washing and extracting only or only partially drying, a dryer shouldn’t be too overused if the towels are left slightly damp.

True full serve or flex serve? True full serve is a bit of a dinosaur- there are some for sure, but flex is a more contemporary model if you are getting into the interior game.

There are plenty of self serve only sites that are successful if they have good management. If you really think your site does not warrant an IBA maybe it would be better for you. I know Kimberly Berg, who posts on this forum, just sold a very successful site in California that is Self Serve...

Not knocking you at all for having a 20 year old machine - congrats on keeping it up and running so long. Maybe it’s time to reload with a modern machine that will attract more customers, offer all the premium modern products and not require much maintenance.

Yes - the substance itself is, but depending on the concentration of it in the total presoak, as well as other substances, some presoaks are deemed corrosive and some not. It’s how strong the percentage is. There is sodium hydroxide and lye in soaps we use for personal hygiene, but...

I’ve been looking for a self serve presoak that has some cleaning power so that customers who choose, can actually get a simulated touch free wash by hand if they prefer and their vehicle condition warrants a wash that doesn’t need a hard scrubbing. Putting it in the hands of the customer, I...

Thanks 2Biz. Very kind of you to share all of that knowledge. And thanks to the other forum members who do the same.
