Update since I first asked the question on vac hose cuffs. Took the advice of using the Gorilla glue. Screw the cuff on about 2 or 3 turns and take the glue and fill in the next grove with about 1 inch of glue and then finish twisting the cuff on. The glue expands and tightens up cuff with hose...

Have a Hamilton RNS and it is 5 years old. In the last 6 days there has been 4 days that the controller has a code 23 flashing. This says hopper jammed. Removed coins the first couple of times and there were no coins jammed. The next time I reset controller and inserted money. Worked just fine...

Used Erie brushes for 27 years and never had a complaint about it. No one ever said their car was scratched by my brushes. Cost is the reason for useing them but turnes out to be a good choice.

Replaced 2 bladder tanks, motors, procon pumps and pressure switches. Ran into the same problem as Grainger no longer selling the bladder tank that I was useing. The old system seemed not to break very much but when it did it was a pain in the backside. Went with Flowjet pump and regulator for...

Just purchased a new Dixmor led6s timer. It will use the same plugs as the Coleman 1034r timer, and the older ct2050 and ct2040. Purchased it from Kleen-rite for 278.00. It has been in for a week so far and works fine. When I recieved the timer and installed it, there was a noise in box. Called...

Okay, I usually don't post on here, my husband does, but momma car wash has been put in a tiz by kevin. I stopped cooking my jambalaya to come post. Just how many car wash owners can you insult in one day? I have no image problem, have owned 1 car wash for 26 years and the other one for 6...

The shampoo level is full. The level switch does work as I took off wire and the light is now on to let the customers know it does not work. Called out an ex Coleman tech to look at it. Has not called back to set up time to meet. I will have to go to Coleman and buy a timer from them as soon as...

Yesterday at wash customer could not get carpet cleaner to come on. Checked and time was running off but compressor or carpet pump were not on. Have second carpet machine that is not installed yet. Went and got both relays and tryed them first. Then put another timer in and it was working fine...

I use a spray called Brakleen. It's made by CRC. Cost about 4 a can. Will do about 4 doors per can. You spray a little coat on the glue. Within seconds the glus becomes soft. I use a razor blade knife with the swing out arm. The razor holder is used to remove inspection stickers on windshield...

forgot to say that the counter is correct and no extra coins are being spit out.

In the last 5 days, one of my RNS Hamilton machines with a mars 2600 validator flashes 5-3. Twice the stacker had no money in it , another time it had 6.00, another time there was 4.00. Does anyone have an idea of what is causing this problem. I cleaned the validator but still doing same.

Purchased 4 used Coleman combos and not 1 display worked. Got cost for repair. They would not take my first born for the outragous cost. Went to Dollar store and purchased 12 tall bottles of Olives. Emptyed and soaked to remove decal. Filled each with differant levels of water. Used blue, red...

Go ahead and replace them. I did 15 at once. I had bad experiance with putting phone number on door. Customers would call and demand that I come right then and fix or give them back their money. Got fed up with that but the killer was the city fire marshal. Called me to inspect that I had a...

sounds like you really want to do this. well its your money and you are the only one who can spend it. the only way for you to know if you will make loads of money or not is to try. if you don't try, you will always second guess yourself. i am willing to bet that there are few if any wash owners...
