    Finally a credit card reader that accepts tap and chip cards

    I just installed 5 Monex readers in all my SS bays. Customer support has been great at the customers love them. I have a different brand of reader at my tellers for the IBA.

    Tire cleaner replacement

    Looks great. I've been thinking about switching all the stuff off my HP pump and leaving on HP rinse and HP soap. How did you plumb all you products to get the fastest delivery/change over?

    What is going on with Ginsan?

    Just worked with Doug on an upgrade for one of my sites. Was always easy to get in touch with and quick to answer questions.

    What did your Petit replace?

    For sure. PSI and GPM play a important role also ;) With that said. Other than a rubber diaphragm, I haven't replaced anything in nearly 2 years on my Petits. Incredible machines that are built like a stainless steel tank. I spent $600K at this site on the auto upgrades and I looked at every...

    What did your Petit replace?

    At the time Ryko was running specials for $99K for either the Radius for Softgloss. If I recall correctly I paid $240K for each Petit. Now I believe they are closer to $300K The Petit will use ALOT more water than a fiction machine swell as soap. I did a price increase with the install.

    What did your Petit replace?

    I replaced a Ryko Softgloss and Radius with my 2 Petits. Cleaning is done mostly at the chemistry side. The dual pump Petit will put a lot of pressure and water on the vehicle tho. I have NEVER read nor heard any negative comments about the Petit.

    Advice for new to industry

    Do your due diligence! I have one seen 2 SS get built since I've owned my washes in the 10 years. I would scratch the friction machine and do 2-3 Petits. With that friction you'll be competing directly with tunnels. Unless you are thinking you'll get a significant amount of business after...

    Convert my full service to an express wash? Market for full service washes?

    Thanks for sharing. How often are you able to get away from the wash for say a week or so? I only ask because I'm considering adding at least interior packages to my express and am concerned about the labor logistics

    Bad News for us all!

    For sure! My first wash I bought was a victim of that fallout. With that said, I own both my washes, free and clear and take five and champion express as expanded aggressively in my area. I read on Facebook of some take 5 closing sites and I went by one of their sites in my area and they have it...

    I wouldn't waste your time. The HW washer is great for the concrete with either Gold Assassin or SH

    Hotsy to Clean Bay Walls

    I built a monster HW pressure washer trailer. 47hp Twin Kohler, gear driven pump and hot box. 10gpm at 3500psi and 180 degrees. Still doesn't clean the walls anywhere near as good nor fast as using SA

    AirShamee Boom Mount Location?

    Thanks everyone! I have my meter box and HP gun on the drivers side wall and the FB & Tri Foam / Ceramic gun on the passenger side. I was kinda curious as to where people mounted them I guess most of the deciding factor in that is where all your existing stuff was. Mine will be mounted on the...

    Finally a credit card reader that accepts tap and chip cards

    If that is indeed the case....that is disappointing. I have 10 sitting here too be installed and I bought them based on the specs and glowing reviews of a few well know people in the wash industry. I'm going to reach out to my contact at Monex and get some clarification because I cannot not be...

    Finally a credit card reader that accepts tap and chip cards

    Are these debit cards without Master Card or Visa endorsements? I've never seen a debit card without the Visa or MasterCard logo and I wouldn't want to risk taking something not ensured by either?
