    Wunder Baum = little trees in Europe

    Looking at Facebook post in a car group and noticed a guy from Slovenia had a familiar air freshener in his car. Zoomed in to see what scent and was a little surprised at the branding, Wunder Baum. I hadn’t considered that the iconic Little Trees brand had a presence in Europe...

    Need help

    I’d attach a hose and gun directly to the pump to eliminate any issue between the pump and the bay. it doesn’t sound like a typical issue with a valve…it may be an unloader/regulator issue. Try swapping the unloader with another bay and see if the issue follows the unloader.

    Need help

    Pull the vibration dampener (accumulator) off and stick a blunt object into the inlet. The bladder shouldn’t compress. If it does you need to replace the dampener. If it can’t be compressed you have a different problem. IMPORTANT: don’t use anything that can puncture the bladder

    Need help

    Where are you located? I think you need to ask an experienced operator to come help you for a few hours. Most of the people on this forum are more than willing to help other out. There are also more “lurkers” here than the same 20 guys that answer 90% of the questions. I’m sure someone will...

    Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the forum! I won’t speak on your autocashier questions but it may help to state what autocashiers you have. Regarding the vacuums, what vacuums do you have. I upgraded some vacuums to credit card and bill acceptors a few years ago. While they...

    Offset/Z-Boom options

    I have the mosmatic and the Zierdan booms. The mosmatic are great and the swivels last 2-3 years in my experience. However, the booms are extremely expensive as are the swivels. My Zierdan booms were reasonably priced. I did paint mine with a silver/grey hammered paint when I did the last...

    Razor no longer communicating with door

    Go to “I/o forces” and find the buttons to force the door down or up. On a Razor 3 it is under Maintenance menu, then to the second screen (hit next button) then option 5. a Razor EDGE machine is a similar process but I don’t know from memory which buttons to push. If you can force the downs...

    New touchless automatic Chinese wash

    Are any of the components on the machine UL or ETL listed? My local electrical inspector didn’t seem to care but I know some guys here have had issues with lack of certifications on equipment. I won’t advise you on whether or not buying a Chinese machine vs a domestic machine is a good idea...

    Washworld Razor

    Waxman and I visited the wash together. I don’t have a close shot of the added nozzle so I had to zoom in. The picture gets blurry but I think it’s a 5” nipple. That site also has wheel chemical applicators at the entrance

    Lack of Business in New England

    Everything seems extremely slow with at least a day of rain on all but 3 of the last 20 weekends. I have 4 Razors (2 at each wash). The revenue at 1 is up almost 4% and the other is down about 7%. I was expecting much worse when I was running reports and calculating what I thought would be a...

    Anyone still repairing MEI bill validators?

    Like most people here I have LOTS of MEI validators. I just put my last replacement into service. My typical supplier sold me 2 Talos validators and says the MEI that I just pulled out of service can’t be repaired because they can no longer get parts. Is there anyone still repairing these AE2612?

    Direct Mail Marketing

    WRONG! I told you about the sign then told you NOT to do it after I found out the cost. You’re the genius that ignored my poor advice. Turns out it was a great idea.

    Suggestions to clean bay plastics

    I use it to clean the hoods and all of the stainless parts. I use this for everything except paint and glass. It will eat the UV coating off of eyeglasses. I have some prescription safety glasses I wear when using this chemical

    Petit LED lights show

    This is the reason why veterans from this site when asked “what’s the best equipment?” Always reply “buy whatever equipment the best distributor is selling!”
