    Vector Rapidwash arms wont move

    Your attachment doesn't show any video, I can only heard the sound. Do the arms not butterfly? Or does the the trolly not go forward or back at all? I'm guessing either your keys are worn out, or the gearbox is worn out. If you can hear the motor running than that works. We have replaced both...

    Pricing

    Curious as to what you are all charging for you different in bay packages and what is included? We are adding graphene in the next month and are going to be going from four packages to three packages. Going to be changing up our pricing as well. If anyone in the Midwest especially could chime in...

    Razor replacement nozzles

    The nozzles usually have them stamped on them as well if you cant find them in your manual. That is how we found out what ones we needed in the past. They are really small but if you look close you can see them.

    Razor replacement nozzles

    I bet Kleenrite stocks them. That is where we get ours for our Kondor.

    Hamilton Goldline Fully Functional

    I have for sale a Hamilton Goldline with base for sale. Was fully functioning when it was removed with no problems. Selling as a whole or would possibly sell individual parts. Will be getting rid of soon as it is taking up room in our storage room. Shoot me an offer for everything as a whole or...

    Starting a Touch-less IBA in Los Angeles

    I would personally not advise starting up your first wash, with you two both working other full time jobs. I here it so many times from friends that say it would be great to open a wash and " have cash flow coming in on the side" when this is usually a recipe for disaster. Running a car wash is...

    Graphene

    I have not, haven't tried any of their hyper products. They always tempted me to give them a try but we are happy with what we are using now, "if it aint broke don't fix it"

    Advice needed on raising prices

    If you have that many taking top package then you can definitely raise your prices. It would be very smart to do so. I would say if you have 50% or more taking top package than price raising is a good option.

    Advice needed on raising prices

    Waxman, do you have any competition in your area? I think your wash is an outlier compared to most other IBAs, which is good in your case because I know very little IBA's that have customers willing to pay in the 20's for a wash. I am priced on the high end in my town with $14 top wash. Our area...

    Advice needed on raising prices

    I am in a smaller, lower to middle class town as well for the most part. I am a big believer on having one wash at $10. Makes it really easy for customers to slam a 10 dollar bill in to the wash, and be on their way. If you have a lot of customers paying cash, with $11 be prepared to spit out a...

    Graphene

    We are introducing graphene to our Kondor this spring. Looking for everyone's opinion on if I should apply it before the Ceramic or after? Ceramic and Graphene will only be included on our top wash. Any other recommendations on what you did when introducing graphene to your wash would be very...

    Just show up once a week and pick up the quarters

    Woah surprised that person thought it would be a good idea to go through a wash with a overhanging rack like that. That is good that the customer was honest and didn't try to deny anything.

    Kondor Drive Gearbox Assembly Worm Gear

    Our Worm gear on our Kondor KL2 is started to get worn where the key slot is on the worm gear. Does anyone know where I can get replacement for just the worm gear? Belanger quoted me two grand for the whole gearbox, but I only need the worm gear that is circled in the picture. I've heard others...
