    Futura fails and photo eyes

    Hey everyone I noticed two fails today. After reviewing the video, the arch is traveling past the rear of the vehicle and hitting the physical stop. The alarm said “treadle photo eye”. There are only the two that tells it to stop and backup. And there’s one on the wheel that detects travel...

    Quarters Clogged in Round Safe

    I had to cut out one block. Ripped out the pvc and connected long sweep 90 degree rubber ferncos to the threads on the coin boxes. Then used small sections (2 per chute) of exhaust from the auto parts store that slid together, one inside the other. It’s only been 9 months but it works perfectly...

    Cat 310 Oil Recommendation

    I’m assuming it’s the same for the 3535?

    Trying to buy another wash.

    That’s good to know! I was worried it would be a headache. I was thinking about laying brick up to the bottom with an encased vault for each one. But this is very encouraging! Thanks!!

    Trying to buy another wash.

    I think it’s a good real estate opportunity. If I mortgage my second home, then P&L won’t even factor in. It looked like a busy wash when I was there Saturday. However, it was unseasonably warm. It has vacuum tubes on the coin boxes and I’m still confused about that setup. My other wash has...

    Trying to buy another wash.

    No financial info offered. Is that what PNL is? I think it’s just under 1/2 acre .49.

    Trying to buy another wash.

    He said the only reason he’s taking less than 300 is because of no realtor. I don’t know how owner financing works. I wouldn’t know where to start. He did mention something about financing options. I just thought if I could borrow against my other property, I could go 30yr and have a more...

    Trying to buy another wash.

    I was on the phone with my soap guy, trying to figure out how to get cleaner cars. He said I need to get a job. I said “I need another wash. Why don’t you ask the guy 8 miles down the road if he’ll sell?” Turns out he’s been thinking about selling it. I met with him and I like the wash, but I’m...

    My passes make sense?

    That’s a shame that we have to deal with all of this. I’ve met so many good hearted wonderful people though. It really makes it worthwhile. A little bit of kindness goes a long way. I’m really excited about the help washnshine gave me with the passes. I think the wash quality has improved. I was...

    My passes make sense?

    Yep, you’re right. It took me three calls to the police to get rid of this hemorrhoid that showed up at 2:00 Am. It was roughly noon before they were towed. Or maybe I shouldn’t share video clips in this forum as some members might see it as slightly out of context and become confused. Better...

    My passes make sense?

    Did you read it? I’d just had enough for one day after that and didn’t want to deal with the car wash anymore. Thanks for this annoying reply. It’s par.

    My passes make sense?

    Thank you. I’m not familiar enough with all of this yet. I don’t think I can apply it differently. Sometimes I think the chemicals don’t do much good when they’re applied through the hp either. I’m using well water but like you said, pump wear. On second thought Maybe there is a setting to...

    My passes make sense?

    RainX is right after hp ceramic, then SFR .

    My passes make sense?

    Is this ok? After I took out 5 and 8, I thought it would make sense to hp rinse, then ceramic (hp wax) then SFR. So I did away with the other lp rinse. Does the ceramic need to be rinsed much?

    My passes make sense?

    Sweet! Thank you!

    My passes make sense?

    I just added Simoniz ceramic coat where the HP wax is. And Double bond is rainX. I just want the best quality wash. Does the LP rinse make sense?

    Wonderful! Thank you so much!
