    I just purchased property to build a Touch free 3 bay car wash in north dallas area.

    Rapidoll do you own a petit and dencar? I know you've been trying to build a new wash with them but do you have another location you are currently operating them? Also Hamilton is just as capable of doing memberships with their kiosk sign up.

    Auto wash leaving hazy finish all of a sudden

    Make sure your softener is working properly. It's also possible the soap company changed their product. Call them out and have them titrate your chemicals.

    Nayax question? Ask Harry the Nayax Expert

    Harry I hope you are still here. Tried calling you few weeks back but it says voicemail is full. I had a reader go out about three weeks back. It will accept the transaction then approve it but will not send pulses. This is the third reader that has done this. Two of them I replaced. I cant...

    I just purchased property to build a Touch free 3 bay car wash in north dallas area.

    The footprint of any soft cloth is usually about ten feet or more longer than any touchless. Add all the extra arches you got I can see how you ran out of space pretty quick.

    I just purchased property to build a Touch free 3 bay car wash in north dallas area.

    There is absolutely no need for a 75 foot bays. 50 Is plenty. Ask builders for past references. Talk to owners that have had an operating wash for a few years or more from those builders. Do you have any plumbing/electrical knowledge? This will be needed to keep things running. Hope the...

    can somebody please identify this OLD car wash I found on weburbanist.com

    O so I was right? If you look at the picture the gantry is about half the size of the guard rails. There is no drive rails. So unless this unit was designed to wash smart cars in the 80S OR 90S then theres no reason for it to move. Meaning it's just another stationary drive thru dealership wash...

    Dryers for IBA

    It's an electrical panel consisting of contactors and overloads for each producer. Also a PLC to to stagger start the dryers. Although the same can also be accomplished with timers and relays instead of PLC if you know what you are doing.

    Dencar Retrofit Door Paystation

    Hamilton ACW's/Goldine are bullet proof even compared to their HTK/Commanders. I dont know how good you are at electrical and it sucks after buying a new paystaion kit that you even have to think about this but it least you can reset from anywhere doing the following.... If you put a 110V...

    Dencar Retrofit Door Paystation

    Ive heard that multiple times about their big touch screens also. It will freeze and you will have to reboot to get it going. So I dont think it's specific to just the retrofit kit. Good news is if you absolutely hate it then you can go back and buy the hamilton door kit or a commander and...

    Is Etowah valley equipment still in business?

    A dual port hydraflex injector is $250 NOW for a piece of plastic, two o rings, two stainless steel balls, and two springs. So ridiculous. I really hope kleen rite does not became the sonny's of self serve. I only use them if I have absolutely no other choice. I stopped buying from them years...

    CAT 31DS Pump issues

    Give it a different inlet water source and see what you get. Maybe try swapping inlet from another pump. If there is a check valve on the current inlet then it may not be opening all the way and starving the pump for water.

    Starting a Touch-less IBA in Los Angeles

    My second wash I ever bought a long time ago was a lease. My father who is here but isn't because of Alzheimers told me do not sign a personal guarantee and put it under its own llc. I listened to him and a year later I had an offer for 350K. I bought the place for 30K but grew it to 50k month...

    Is Etowah valley equipment still in business?

    Thank you sir. Appreciate that. I will keep that in mind for future. I ended up buying the doors from coleman and building them my self which is what I was trying to avoid.
