    PDQ LW4000 for Sale

    Dryers for IBA

    Getting two 60 hp Premiers in a couple weeks. Two 15's on top, one 15 on each side with elephant ears, wall to wall mount was $20k plus tax & install. They wanted $6k for two of their starter panels but I built my own for $2k.

    Wash Select II - crypto tap

    It's a no brainer. They work well and are super fast. I'd bet over a third of our transactions are now Tap, plus people can use their phones with apple pay or Samsung pay etc.

    Finally a credit card reader that accepts tap and chip cards

    In another recent thread regarding Monex someone mentioned they were paying around 7%. Please keep us posted on your experience APW.

    Finally a credit card reader that accepts tap and chip cards

    APW, what is the purchasing procedure for a customer to buy a wash on the WSII with the Monex? Is it solely done through the Monex screen and their 'buttons' or do they also have to press the WS buttons? If the wash goes out of service is the Monex disabled somehow so it doesn't continue to...

    Touchless Front & Rear Eyebrow removal

    I am using All Dri as my drying agent, VantaGloss Foamy for my Hot Wax and Starr Sealer as my Ceramic. It is possible it gets sealed in. After a point, it doesn't matter how many times you wash it, it's not coming off without friction. Once that happens I'll either clean in it in the self...

    Meter box wire connector

    Don, once you figure out which phoenix connector you want just go on ebay and buy them. I bought a whole box for a fraction of the cost.

    Touchless Front & Rear Eyebrow removal

    We are and have always run lo then hi. I know this is a tough time of year to clean but for some reason the film lately seems to be very stubborn. A couple of weeks ago I actually ran my truck through an express Tommy tunnel (Blue Falls) and it didn't even remove it 100%.

    Touchless Front & Rear Eyebrow removal

    Ok, I know lots of touchless operators claim to remove the eyebrow but who is REALLY removing it? We’re running Petit’s, Washworlds, PDQ M5’s & 4000’s. Lately we’re doing a bad job on the front eyebrow and even worse on the rear eyebrow of SUVs. We’re running Quest chemicals right now. I just...

    Weather/waterproof surface mount LED light under flat canopy

    MEP what are the lenses made out of on those? I couldn't find the lens material listed on their site and they look to be plastic. If so, how have they held up?

    Washworld Razor OE 38 Start Up Test Drive Side Sonar Fail

    When it happened, yes, the OE 41shuts down the wash. The Sonar fail is totally unrelated. It hasn't happened since Monday, and I didn't fix anything, but we did have some harsh weather this past weekend from high winds so maybe it was power related somehow?

    Nayak Vs Monex Vs CryptoPay

    APW can you just summarize how you expect it to work? How are they integrating it? Is it pulse, MDB? Is it going to be seamless like the unitec swiper and cryptopay or do they have to select the wash on the monex and press the button?

    Soap comparisons

    Didn’t you just post that you switched to JBS from Simonize? I’m confused. Regardless, are you using Hi pH followed by Lo pH?

    Washworld Razor OE 38 Start Up Test Drive Side Sonar Fail

    Our WW is a version 4. I called our distributors tech but never heard back him. Then I got in the que for WW support. Prior to talking with them, I familiarized myself with the System Stop Circuit and pulled on every wire I could find trying to duplicate the issue to no avail. The actual...

    Washworld Razor OE 38 Start Up Test Drive Side Sonar Fail

    I actually don’t know off the top of my head. This is our first Washworld so I never paid attention to version numbers. It was brand new October 2021. As soon as it was installed we had two Petit’s installed at another site so the Razor didnt get a lot of attention once it was set up and...
