We are thinking of ditching our hot wax this winter, and putting in a ceramic in its place but not advertising it as a ceramic. Reason why is that when we run the hot wax followed by the ceramic the cars have a weird rough feeling like they are reacting with each other. Has anyone ever done this...

How often do you have to empty your trash bins at your VACs? We have 30 gallon drums by our vacs, but before and after hours people are abusing them like crazy, I watch the cameras and people will constantly drive up quick dump a whole 30 Gal bag off and drive off. I reported a couple of the...

We have been waiting years for this day in the Midwest for Kwik trip to finally raise top package and stop undercutting everyone else and that day has finally come! Their new top wash added graphene, but they have no ceramic in sight. Finally we can bump up our prices without customers saying...

Today I had a GFCI Fault on our Kondor which I thought was no big deal. I reset the GFCI and wash, ran a wash through and now the HP Rinse wont switch from drivers side to passenger side correctly. When it is supposed to switch HP Rinse to passenger side it does a medium rinse on both sides...

Curious if anyone else's wash has been slower than usual lately? Our 4th weekend is usually a busy one for us, but was overall slower then usual. June was nothing to brag about either... Anyone else see these trends the last month or have any reasoning to it?

Our Kondor Kl2 passenger side has very low pressure compared to the drivers side. Drivers side is a nice fan while the passenger side looks to have low pressure and just gloops out or just enough to make contact with the vehicle with no fan. We replaced our tips recently but it made no change...

Curious how often you guys replace your spray tips in your IBA. I know they degrade slowly over time, but we haven't noticed a huge difference from when they were new to when they are about to get replaced. Fan width is a little better, but overall vehicle still gets good coverage.

I cleaned the filter on my Norgren regulator today in the carwash room and now there is a constant slight air leak from the vent on the bottom of the regulator where the filter side is. I took everything back apart and reinstalled multiple times and cleaned it to make sure there was no debris...

We have a Hamiltion Goldline Kiosk for sale. Switched to a newer Unitec Kiosk, so no longer have a need for this. Was fully functional when we removed it. Takes cash, quarters, and credit card. Dispenses quarters back. Throw out an offer, want it gone by the end of the month. Let me know if you...

Curious as to what you are all charging for you different in bay packages and what is included? We are adding graphene in the next month and are going to be going from four packages to three packages. Going to be changing up our pricing as well. If anyone in the Midwest especially could chime in...

I have for sale a Hamilton Goldline with base for sale. Was fully functioning when it was removed with no problems. Selling as a whole or would possibly sell individual parts. Will be getting rid of soon as it is taking up room in our storage room. Shoot me an offer for everything as a whole or...

We are introducing graphene to our Kondor this spring. Looking for everyone's opinion on if I should apply it before the Ceramic or after? Ceramic and Graphene will only be included on our top wash. Any other recommendations on what you did when introducing graphene to your wash would be very...

Just wanted to let everyone know that Kleenrite is now a distributor for PDQ replacement parts. Hoping they start stocking belanger soon as well.

Our Worm gear on our Kondor KL2 is started to get worn where the key slot is on the worm gear. Does anyone know where I can get replacement for just the worm gear? Belanger quoted me two grand for the whole gearbox, but I only need the worm gear that is circled in the picture. I've heard others...

Curious as if anyone speeds up their passes during the winter busy months? Some days we are lined up seven deep, and the salt comes off so easy that I'm curious the effect if I sped up the wash to be able to get more cars through in a day.

Hello, we have a Kondor KL2 attached to our car dealership and are trying to figure out the split between the two for energy and water usage for accounting. Does anyone have an idea of average water consumption and energy for a single bay automatic wash? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Has anyone else been slow with the lack of snow and overcast weather? We had a decent rush the days before thanks giving, but has been very slow lately with the overcast. Our town has not had to use any salt on the road either this year. Hoping we get a good dumping soon so the lines at our wash...

We are looking to put in a new air fill station at our carwash for our customers. We currently have an air fill station called the pnt 4 that is hooked directly to our large air compressor inside. Our customers love how fast and easy it is to use compared to the ones with a small compressor...

At our wash we have a unitec Portal TI +. We keep getting a update popup that comes up on the screen that prompts us to restart the kiosk to apply changes. We hit yes and the popup keeps returning within the next day. We have been getting calls from customers saying they are at the wash and that...

We have been using Simoniz Ceramic in our IBA for the last few months. Shine and water beading is very good. But I have noticed that when you run your had on the paint of the vehicle after the car is dry that it doesn't feel nice and smooth. It has a more of a rough feeling, you cant see it but...
