What does water softness have to do with road film? The car has the film before entering the wash the hard part is cutting into that road film on a touchless, you can rub your finger over the film and it comes off but without friction I find it hard to remove a film on a car.
In a touchless automatic currently running a PDQ 360, I have been fighting road film for awhile and was told lo presoak followed by hi presoak works best in most cases.
I have been playing around with a hi presoak followed by another hi presoak with a 15 sec dwell time and running it strong at...
Just found out my RO is mixing with my hot soft water for all my presoaks and soaps, what effect would running RO water with Hi and Lo pre soaks have? Would this be a good thing since RO water has nothing in it to counter act with the presoaks?
I have been fighting getting cars clean mostly not...
What are pmegs? I never heard of them and where do you order these? I switched from meg to imeg and saw very little difference, I also used the hand test and seemed about the same.
Where did you buy your decals for you WSII, I am about to freshen mine up. Also did you remove the old decals before applying the new ones and if so what did you use?
Are PVC walls on a self serve wash worth it? I love how they look just worried about the longevity of them.
Who is using them and do they hold up, also what brand do you guys recommend?
I have them on our Auto and its the tongue and grove style so if one did get damaged you almost have to take...
I know this has been brought up before but before I spend the money changing out all the nozzles I want to make sure this is the right move.
I currently run a PDQ 360 plus with all meg nozzles at 1100 PSI. It lacks a punch to the car anymore then 6 inches from the nozzles the pressure is not to...
What is the difference between the Imeg and the veespray nozzles? I need something with more impact I think I am running meg nozzles or whatever comes standard with pdq and its somewhat a mist at 15 inches out not a direct punch, I need a more knife like cut what would work best and do I keep...
I have a pdq 360 and notice I can put my hand 12" away from the arch on a high pressure rinse and it feels very weak to me I feel like it should sting the hand a bit to have it actually be strong enough to pull dirt off the car.
Anyone know what nozzles come standard with the pdq 360?
Would I...
Is this for a touchless IBA? I tried the spray bottle test with multiple chemicals and the awesome cleaner worked the best, now I want to test it inside my bay to see how it does out of the machine but not sure how to go about that. Thinking of running it straight as it dilutes with water...
I am testing there soaps next week from also all the good reviews. Can anyone tell me how alkaline and acid you are running it to get a good clean I have heavy road film so have to run strong. I have a simoniz and blend co titration kit anyone know what they should be at on these kits as I know...
That is my main complaint is the film that when you run your finger on the car you can see it, which products of the compass line are you using for the hi and the lo, think I want to give it a try.
In AZ, currently using BlendCo and having trouble removing road film after a rain and also windshield eyebrow we aren't removing at all. BlendCo and there reps have been great and we like all there products better then previous company I was using but still not getting cars as clean as I would...
Great to hear I have a few questions if you don't mind, trying to solve a road film problem.
Are you going lo then hi on pre soak and any dwell time?
What machine are you using this on?
For the lo and hi compass products which ones are you using and do you know the strength your putting them...
Curious if you ended up trying JBS and if so how did it work and what you ended up finding working the best, in the same boat as you right now with soaps.
Lets revisit some basics.
Get this information for us: Here is the info you asked for let me know if you see anything out of the norm.
Hardness and TDS of your pre treated tap water
City water PPM is 74 hardness is 7
Hardness and TDS of the water that is feeding your chemical blending system...
What would tackle road film the best? I have the PDQ 360 plus, I may try to do hi lo like you said but I worry my hi will be to weak at 20 as road film build up is my biggest complaint and have been told hi works best on oily surfaces. Our soil here if alkaline at about 8 ph.
