I talked with Hamilton at the Car Wash Show and the Gold Line can be had with a barcode reader for about $11,000.

The baseline price for a unit with a barcode reader is about $22,000. So, they aren't cheap.

The Hamilton HTK can have a bar code reader and seems to be very reliable.

I used Adhesive Technologies Ultra Bond 1300. It can be used in a wet bay.

I purchased traffic markers from Safety Cones USA and used them to create reflective lines that run the entire length of the bay. The reflectors are about $1.30 each. I epoxied them down with the same epoxy used to put them onto the road which I purchased from HD Supply. They are spaced every...

Soonermajic, if you don't want to call your 3x foam a conditioner or polish, then with Glow Foam you can put up black lights and just call it Glow Foam. The product glows under black light making the color even more vibrant. Just a suggestion.

Conditioner does not condition the vehicle. The term is an industry specific term. It is strictly for show and can be used to help get a higher price for a wash. Soap companies are the ones that name products as conditioner or polish. Neither does what the name implies, but this is a forum for...

The JBS Glowfoam shows extremely well, has a strong cherry scent, doesn't stain, and is very affordable. It is a conditioner not a polish. I highly recommend it for what you are looking for.

Does it have a Virtual Treadle? What software version are you running?

The new friction pieces that were coming into my markets where almost all tunnel washes. None of my locations have enough room to operate a tunnel that could compete with the through put of the new washes. So as soonermajic suggested, I decided to focus on my niche in the market and except...

Brand new stainless steel bridges from PDQ part no. M924020-S. Mine came ready to just install and run. They had new covers, junction boxes, wiring, eyes, proxes, motors, gearboxes, tires, rollers, grease lines, festoon, festoon rollers, and new J2. For the ACW's, I replaced my aging Hamilton...

In 2016 I came to the realization that our fleet of Laserwash 4000's was showing its age and that it was time to reload. I got quotes on both the 360 Plus and Razor. With 9 bays to reload, I got quotes that put the reloads in the 1.2 million range. Once I recovered from the sticker shock...

The helicoptering is usually caused by the Arch rotate eyes not reading the cam. Causes can be a scratch or rub on either x15, x16, or x17. This can happen if there is a lot of play in the gearbox or if the trolley tires are flat. Both will allow the index cam to make contact with the eyes...

After the Arch turned 45 degrees did it continue washing the car or did it give an arch rotate fail and stop?

A Laserwash 4000 should have the high pressure pump set between 1000 psi and 1200 psi in order to get the impingement correct at the vehicles surface for proper cleaning. We run at 1100 psi. For what it's worth we use the Water Saver Valve to reduce the pressure to 400 psi for non cleaning...

Hi Steve, First if the bay is long enough to add the additional arches without interfering with the iba then it would probably fit some form of a tunnel wash system. This would give you the most hourly throughput. Assuming that a tunnel is prohibited by the cost then this would be a viable...

It was explained to me by a chemical rep, that the floor of a car wash is one of the coldest parts of the building unless you have floor heat. Getting the container off the floor helps prevent against freezing in poorly heated equipment rooms and allows warm air to pass around the container...

The short answer is yes RO will clean better.

Thanks Robert, I appreciate the advice and will try to find out more about why the site failed.
