Thanks for the tip, Ill give this a try and see what we can find this afternoon. Ill keep you updated!

You can see that they are wearing unevenly on one side to the point where one roller is only making a contact on a quarter of the rail. After looking in to it I believe the problem is the rollers aren't coming in good contact on the prox switches side that counts the teeth. We tested the Prox...

We operate a Kondor Kl2 at our location. We have been getting a Carriage Jam Fault the last day. After inspection we have determined that the rollers for the carriage aren't making good contact with the rails that they move on. Has anyone ran it to this before and if so, did it require replacing...

Ill be honest we are in a pretty cheap area in Wisconsin. So getting rid of the lower clear coats and hot waxes would really turn away a lot of our more price conscious customers... We give our standard clear coat on the 10 dollar wash. Hot wax on the 12. and ceramic on the 14, an none on our...

Curious as to how everyone has their wash passes set up? Also would you recommend we run our hot wax right before the ceramic, or is it good where we have it now? This is the order that our soap distributor set it up. We are using simoniz products, except for presoaks those are kleentrack. We...

What is your average wash time for your different packages? Our changeover time is pretty instant on ours how we have it set up. We never had any complaints of an area on the front or the back of a car that were still dirty where the arms come together. I guess we will agree to disagree haha

Curious as to why you like the KL1 to the KL2? We have a KL2 and the overall wash speed is greatly increased with the extra arm. We haven't found that much more maintenance either due to the extra arm.

Definitely agree with Greg Pack here. Lots of people are intrigued by getting in to the carwash business because they see all the glamor of it, and think they can "pop" in once a week to collect the money when in the reality it is much more demanding then this. I second that for a wash of this...

Our winters are our busiest time of the year. Unfortunately the Wisconsin winter was pretty poor this year with more rain than snow, so it was definitely slower this year. Very little salt put on the roads

I believe you run this straight. We use only simoniz products and their products aren't diluted with water as far as I am aware.

We have a Kondor KL2. I would say there is more servicing then other washes. We went with this wash as this is what our local rep was pushing. We really like the cleaning ability of the wash. Wish it could push more cars through in the winter time though, when very busy. If I had to buy another...

Make sure the wash is always presentable to the public. For maintenance check in the manuals for the equipment you have for servicing. If you weren't given any manuals or service intervals, the company of the equipment should be able to send you PDFs for them., otherwise they are usually on...

Do you have any pictures of the lot and the equipment being used? Where is the wash located? Why is the current owner selling the business? Big factor is the condition of the equipment you would be taking ownership of. Have to verify and make sure you aren't paying a premium for some one elses...

Eliminating quarters is definitely a big plus. Our kiosk only gives back dollar bills as change unlike our old Hamilton kiosk that gave quarters back as change. Eliminating quarters saved us alot of time.

We are in a smaller town where cash is still used commonly used. About 30 percent is still cash by us. We thought about going cashless when we installed a new kiosk two years ago, but keep coming back to giving the customer the option if they want it. Also big plus of still offering both is if...

Awesome thank you for helping me out!

Could you help educate me a bit, is there a technical term for mineral seal oil? I just checked the sds sheet for it as well and below are the ingredients the have listed for it? Hydrotreated (Petroleum) Distillate? Water 2-Butoxy Ethanol Quaternary Ammonium Salt Hydrotreated (Petroleum) Distillate

Just saw that Kleenrite released their own line of ceramics under the Kleentrack line. Does anyone have any info on who is making it for them or the quality? Kind of curious of the quality of it as it is super cost effective compared to other companies offerings. We run simoniz which is over...

Thank you for all the info! Looks like I will be going with Simoniz.

We were leaning towards the simoniz, thank you for the input!
