    Portal TI+ bill dispenser error

    I have the exact same setup as you but we have never got that error before. Have you tried calling Unitec?

    Presoak Show in IBA.....

    We have found that we are using a barrel of powder about twice as fast as when we were running liquid. Even with how much more we use it is still over half the cost of what we were spending on liquid high ph. Only reason we still run the powder is that we have someone on site all the time as we...

    I finally got a Portal Ti, but need some help.

    We have a Portal TI, we optioned it to dispense dollar bills only as it was much more headache free then using the quarter dispensing option. We still have the machine accept quarters, but not dispense them.

    Presoak Show in IBA.....

    We tried to use the exact same presoak in our wash. Unfortunately we found that the show for it was generally very poor and would have to have the dilution stronger then the manufacturer recommended to get a desired show and cleaning power from it. We added Simoniz Foam additive to it as well...

    Damage claim concern

    Also if this customer does go online and bad mouth your business, we have found in the past the people they bad mouth too are also customers you would not want in the first place. Birds of a feather flock together, so it will likely do very little harm to the A+ customers that you already have...

    IBA Spray Tip Change Intervals

    We change our oil out every year at the recommended interval. And every year the oil looks and smells brand new still:ROFLMAO:

    IBA Spray Tip Change Intervals

    I am in the same boat as you. It doesn't cost that much to replace but just feel bad throwing stuff out that seems to be functioning fine! Glad I'm not the only one.

    IBA Spray Tip Change Intervals

    Curious how often you guys replace your spray tips in your IBA. I know they degrade slowly over time, but we haven't noticed a huge difference from when they were new to when they are about to get replaced. Fan width is a little better, but overall vehicle still gets good coverage.

    Another bogus insurance claim

    Curious what type of detail you did to the jeep, and what cleaning methods you did to the seats and steering wheel? Where they leather or cloth seats? We have been doing professional detailing here for years and I have been detailing most of the used cars we sell for the last five years as well...

    Norgren Regulator Leaking from Vent

    Nothing looks to be damaged upon taking apart and inspecting. I'm guessing air is getting through some seal though due to age.

    Norgren Regulator Leaking from Vent

    I cleaned the filter on my Norgren regulator today in the carwash room and now there is a constant slight air leak from the vent on the bottom of the regulator where the filter side is. I took everything back apart and reinstalled multiple times and cleaned it to make sure there was no debris...

    Hamilton Gold Kiosk

    We have a Hamiltion Goldline Kiosk for sale. Switched to a newer Unitec Kiosk, so no longer have a need for this. Was fully functional when we removed it. Takes cash, quarters, and credit card. Dispenses quarters back. Throw out an offer, want it gone by the end of the month. Let me know if you...

    Is this normal?

    Looks like a nice clean site, looks appealing to me. Increase awareness and your CPD will follow.

    Is this normal?

    Get out and promote your wash, that's a tough spot with no street visibility. If people aren't aware you are their then you will continue to have a low CPD. Id get some permanent signage up by the street that says you have an automatic that really draws attention. If you are the only iba within...

    Is this normal?

    I would say that does seem very unordinary with that amount of traffic. Have any pictures of your site? Get some feather flags and anything you can do to draw attention to the IBA. I'm guessing most people driving past do not know you have an IBA since you have been strictly self serve for so long.

    Vector Rapidwash arms wont move

    Check your keys to make sure they aren't worn out or the worm drive isn't scored out like ours was. Our system is a Kondor KL2 but I am pretty confident the Kondor is very similar in design. Do you have an owners manual with an extended blow up of parts diagrams. If not I would recommend giving...
