Hi wash12. I run acid and then alkaline. I run both with boosters. Depending on the time of year anywhere from 114:1 to 170:1

It's not unusual to use one product to look like a two step. It allows you to run the second pass with less chemical while maintaining show. It also gives your first pass more dwell time since it doesn't react with it. I run a lo/high two step and have to use a dwell between each product to give...

For our areas road films, JBS's new two step COMPASS set up will out clean all of the tunnels around us. I also had success with CSI's experimental two step set up last November. The days where touchless was just a "maintenance wash" have been over since last year.

We just replaced 3 with legs with Premier Dryers. They made the legs to fit the PDQ floor anchors. It made switching them a lot easier. Here's a picture of one.

This is usually a complex problem. The lw4000 goes around the vehicle on spot free by crossing the front of the vehicle until it sees the x24 left limit proximity sensor come on (treadleplate design) or until the VT card counts the proper number of pulses on the x30 width pulse prox and tells...

White works well because it says clean during the day and can be used at night to make the building glow, becoming it's own sign. You can even used colored led strips to make the walls change colors.

It depends. Your locations cater to people in one of two niches. Those that want to take the time to do it themselves and those that only want touchless washing. Most new tunnels can't win these people over. Focus on being the best self serve and touchless car wash and you should be okay. If you...

Do you have a docking dryer or a stand alone?

Something on the Y-40 output card is blowing the fuse. When it does it cuts power to the Y-43 output which tells your autocashier to close the car wash bay.

Hi Zal, The first thing to check is that the reflective material on the exit end of the right wheel stop (passenger side treadle plate) is clean and free of scuff marks. Next, with the bridge in the home position, make sure the photo eye mounted on the passenger side of the bridge is still...

I suppose the first question is what kind of wash do you have? Self Serve, Touchless IBA, and Friction all require different chemical solutions.

Lustra sells liquid colors that you can dual inject.

There are two ways to produce a clean car with a two step cleaning process. You can use an aggressive low pH that will simply eat through the road film and follow with a weak high pH to nuetralize and stop the low pH. This tends to produce a very consistent level of cleaning and a dryer car...

They make a stainless steel replacement bridge that comes plug and play. You just set it on the rails, install the J2 box and go. It takes about a day and a half to change. The soap is JBS's Compass Line. We have had a lot of success with cleaning using it. It allows us to match the cleaning...

Hi kangamar, Welcome to the industry. Acids or low pH products are good for window mask, cleaning chrome, and aiding in drying. I am not aware of any low pH powder products, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there. Most acids tend to occur as liquids so soap companies usually formulate...

Question 1: You could use Soap #1 for your High pH soap, Soap #2 for your Low pH soap, Foaming Wax for your Turtle Wax Fire, and use Drying Agent with the water saver valve for your Turtle Wax ICE. Then use the water saver unloader to adjust the pressure down to 250 psi. This would mean that...

Larry Jacob and Bob Koo are both excellent people to learn from. When we did our research we came down to Con-Serve and Purwater. Ultimately we went with Con-Serve because their series 3 unit fit into our equipment room better. We opened up the asphalt installed four tanks, plumbed everything...

Chris is actually in the video around the 5:24 mark. He is standing just left of the dryers. He did a great job with the install. I was really impressed.

With only a traffic count, I like to use the following for quick minimums: 10,000 / 7 = 1428.57 1428.57 x .01 = 14.28 or 14 cars per day average. Understand this is a minimum and doesn't provide an accurate number. Lots of factors will drive the number higher. If you can take this number and...
