    Touchless Front & Rear Eyebrow removal

    What type of sealer or protectant are you using with you Petit’s? I know when I tried ceramic, I was sealing in the eye brows making it harder to remove each time I washed. Are you starting with a clean slate? anyone using Vertech vault presoaks?

    Touchless Front & Rear Eyebrow removal

    Great info PEI! What dual injector sizes are you using for your setups? I know with Petit, most use larger injectors, light green is standard so dilutions would have to increase accordingly. Also for your Compass setup, do you use the low ph salt assault all year round with the booster? For...

    Saw a great idea for ALL IBAs

    Yeah it can be an effective look. Here’s another nice one but with the external arches on the street facing drying end.

    which float valve is better?

    Jobe. Great life with them but always smart to have a couple spares on hand.

    Anyone have a D&S iQ self wash direct injection pump stand?

    That’s great insight thank you. I’m currently using JBS Compass foam brush CP300 and high pressure soap CP400 with my Hydrominders with lean tips. Good to know that you had issues with JBS Compass. It is fairly thick, especially the foam Compass brush. Did you find that the direct injection...

    Anyone have a D&S iQ self wash direct injection pump stand?

    Thanks for the info, any issues with the VFDs? How about the rocket injectors and tip clogs with your JBS compass soaps? What maintenance do you tend to have on them? Dema solenoid diaphragm repair kits and the like? Thanks

    Question about chemical application order in a touch free

    Not a typo. By layering a weaker presoak over the stronger first, you are compromising the overall strength and cleaning ability. If you’re concerned with speed and the shortest dwell time possible, the strength during the short dwell matters. But it’s totally irrelevant if you’re using a two...

    Question about chemical application order in a touch free

    it depends on the region the Petit wash is located. Most of the ones you’re thinking of that are setup for serious throughput don’t use a two step lowph. They do it like this: Pass 1: high PH presoak. Pass 2: high PH presoak applied through Tri pods at the same or stronger strength to prevent...

    Tankless on IBA

    Yup, I use three Naviens with a buffer tank that has a temp probe in it connected to a re circulation pump. this is for two Petit bays. It’s not cheap but works well. Keeps my pre soak at 60 degrees Celsius. You wire the multiple Naviens together and one becomes the master. This way they...

    Good to hear Zal. Do you use Dencar bulk single use codes for auto dealer or other promo customers? I’m wondering how to turn the generated codes into QR codes for printing on business cards. Anyone have any inbay or exterior Dencar LCD panels? thanks!

    Petit 360i long bay

    Looks better in the revision for sure. I’d go with boom vacs located at the front of the vac bays, up on the curb a few feet back for protection. You should be able to fit at least seven vac bays that way and have a more modern look vs the old vac islands that eat up space. Prewire at the very...

    Petit 360i long bay

    I’d say get your own design first of all. Adam’s design posted over on the Facebook Petit site without the windows and its curved roofline will look like a shipping container IMO. Why windows up high? Are you configuring your Petit with the four LED bar package? If so any windows you have will...

    Sure wash clubs, unlimited or otherwise have been a huge industry failure. I mean it’s not like there hasn’t been an unprecedented boom in express wash builds for the past ten years funded specifically on the game changer that is wash club revenue. Averages are just that, the average washer...

    Petit 360 worth the extra money????

    The tech is proven. Petit has had 360’s in high volume express tunnels for over 15 years pumping out millions of cars a year. Talk to the big express guys and see how little maintenance they do on them. Good luck rinsing well in one fast pass with most other washes. Same goes if you cut your...
