So I had the chance to visit with a friend and see his new Razor Edge today. I shot some video of it washing. https://youtu.be/a2LUQQuovh4

I just installed mine below the water level and now there are no bubbles. I used the string to attach the float.

A few suggestions. 1. Get a TDS meter and check your RO water. You should get a value less than 40 parts per million (ppm). 2. Dump a little bit of all of your waxes, sealants, polishes, and drying agents out their feed lines at the injectors. Then fire a soap, hopefully none of the lines pulls...

Out of the 120 that I put down 2 have come up in a year. One of my friends who is a Wash World distributor has started using stainless steel Tapcons. He claims he hasn't had any come up in a year and a half.

The biggest challenge is the city. The city required heavier more expensive tanks for us that could withstand the weight of a tractor trailer truck. Buying and installing the tanks ate up 2/3 of the budget. Luckily the one spot for the reclaim unit in the equipment room was also the closest...

Sorry to be so long getting back. As far as cleaning versus the Action line there really isn't any difference. The advantages are smaller containers (2.5 gallons), everything is rectangular which makes storage easier, and it keeps the equipment room cleaner while taking up a smaller footprint...

We have been using JBS since 2015 with our Laserwash 4000's. We use the Compass line, specifically CPS-100, CPS-200, CPS-201, CPS- 500, CPS-602, and CPS-700. We have had phenomenal results, the site with the biggest change for us went from 24 cars a day to 62. The only change we made was the soap.

I talked with Hamilton at the Car Wash Show and the Gold Line can be had with a barcode reader for about $11,000.

The baseline price for a unit with a barcode reader is about $22,000. So, they aren't cheap.

The Hamilton HTK can have a bar code reader and seems to be very reliable.

I used Adhesive Technologies Ultra Bond 1300. It can be used in a wet bay.

I purchased traffic markers from Safety Cones USA and used them to create reflective lines that run the entire length of the bay. The reflectors are about $1.30 each. I epoxied them down with the same epoxy used to put them onto the road which I purchased from HD Supply. They are spaced every...

Soonermajic, if you don't want to call your 3x foam a conditioner or polish, then with Glow Foam you can put up black lights and just call it Glow Foam. The product glows under black light making the color even more vibrant. Just a suggestion.

Conditioner does not condition the vehicle. The term is an industry specific term. It is strictly for show and can be used to help get a higher price for a wash. Soap companies are the ones that name products as conditioner or polish. Neither does what the name implies, but this is a forum for...

The JBS Glowfoam shows extremely well, has a strong cherry scent, doesn't stain, and is very affordable. It is a conditioner not a polish. I highly recommend it for what you are looking for.

Does it have a Virtual Treadle? What software version are you running?

The new friction pieces that were coming into my markets where almost all tunnel washes. None of my locations have enough room to operate a tunnel that could compete with the through put of the new washes. So as soonermajic suggested, I decided to focus on my niche in the market and except...

Brand new stainless steel bridges from PDQ part no. M924020-S. Mine came ready to just install and run. They had new covers, junction boxes, wiring, eyes, proxes, motors, gearboxes, tires, rollers, grease lines, festoon, festoon rollers, and new J2. For the ACW's, I replaced my aging Hamilton...

In 2016 I came to the realization that our fleet of Laserwash 4000's was showing its age and that it was time to reload. I got quotes on both the 360 Plus and Razor. With 9 bays to reload, I got quotes that put the reloads in the 1.2 million range. Once I recovered from the sticker shock...

The helicoptering is usually caused by the Arch rotate eyes not reading the cam. Causes can be a scratch or rub on either x15, x16, or x17. This can happen if there is a lot of play in the gearbox or if the trolley tires are flat. Both will allow the index cam to make contact with the eyes...
