    Where to start, for a new construction touchless?

    If those have long lines, & they & the touchless suck, you should hurry up & build & install new Touchless. Do not listen to all these burnt out old folks. Build new ADSP, before somebody else does! Strike while the irons hot Early bird gets the worm

    Would you rather own a express/full service or a 4+2?

    Converting McNeil Tunnel to TouchFree Tunnel

    Get an Oasis tall Typhoon or Petit long bay. Retrofit top bar of Petit 4" higher & install Petit 4" higher. Now you're 102" & can do service trucks w/ ladders tall vans & raised Duallys. Use CTA as it enters, normal wash time only (2:30 top pkg) exit through Wax Arch, SFR Arch, & dryers.

    Converting McNeil Tunnel to TouchFree Tunnel

    I think he means just rip everything out. Seal up the conveyor & voila, he has a Touchless tunnel w/out conveyor. Keep 2 arches, for after the Touchless iBA & use for Ceramic & then SFR, right before the dryers. Yall are way overcomplicating this.

    Touchless w/ Free Vacs & no memberships.???

    My buddy has tunnel competition & touchless. The Touchless guy will undoubtedly install new, or something, to compete. He's just trying to do it as awesome as possible off the rip.... I am kinda thinking his Free Vacs idea may be a heluva idea.

    Touchless w/ Free Vacs & no memberships.???

    jus told em the free Vacs may not be a good idea. He said he actually got the new Central Vac for FREE, by just uninstalling them (paid a 2 man crew $1500)! SO, he's prety committed o them. I told him a Gateed system may be an ideal thing to try...

    Touchless w/ Free Vacs & no memberships.???

    Dumbfounded with this wash in Bloomington, IN.

    You don't think you could make it on 300cpd @ $15/avg? That's $135,000/mo! $1.6mil a year on 300cpd! Your example would be $6.6 mil a year

    Long High Pressure Hose for WW Razor

    first hose 44k washes (new hp hose from WW is about $750 + shipping). 2nd cheap hose lasted 27k washes ($180). Just installed 3rd hose & was about $165. NOt sure how long it will last. But I ain't paying nearly $1000 for a hp hose. Looks like WW hose is about 5x as much as getting one done...

    Crypto Swipers with Tap Plus install?

    I'm not sure, but here are my 3 choices: 1. Keep it exactly how it is, & make sure I collect those 24 swipes each day x $14.80. This assures I don't lose $120,000 + per year on 2 sites! 2. After quitting my job of 34 years (9mos before retirement), I can Go to the wash & ask each swipe customer...

    Crypto Swipers with Tap Plus install?

    I added Cryptopay Swipe & Tap about 4 mos ago, to my Razor Edge. This was a very busy site. I'm @ 70% CC usage. Of that 35% is swipe. Dang I am glad I didn't take the "swipe is stupid" advice.

    Oasis XP life

    30 washes per day isn't bad. Means it's obviously doing a good job. I have heard great things about XP & Typhoon. Only used each 1x. Was very impressed. However, I have no clue about the longevity. Sorry...
