    Dilling & Harris SS stand questions

    The TC air should not be on all the time. It may be the same air for multiple functions but it should not be on all the time. I foam my low pressure wax. Its on a flojet. Hope this helps.

    vac decal removal

    I use a heat gun to help peel off the decal. Then wipe off all the glue with some gas on a rag. Works like a champ.

    Replacing working IBA's for new equipment, when does it make sense?

    I would highly recommend that you buy one of each if not 2 frictions. I know exactly how you feel about doing a great job cleaning with the touchfree. Ive got 2 of them and im proud of the cars we turn out. However, before you buy you should come to North Carolina and ride around any town...

    What to do with an old SS Wash?

    I wouldn't spend too awful much if redevelop was the master plan, but I would pay somebody to get it all working. Raise the price to 2.25 in bay and 1.25 on the vacs, give a little bit more time, throw on some "real estate paint" lol and let er bump. Milk that jesse for every quarter you...

    Property line issue with adjacent gas station

    I can see this goin nowhere with you playing nice. set up some concrete pillars like they use on the interstate to block him off. He will likely be ready to deal when he finds out how bad he needs your space. Then you can swing the deal in your favor.

    Water damage to IBA control box

    I agree with chaz. To me it looks like a lot more water than condensation but I'll throw in for you checking the ceiling on the inside of the box. You may have condensation there. If so you can better ventilate your equipment room and/or turn down the heat a bit. I say this because to me...
