Hi All...long time since I've visited. Hope everyone is well and the sun keeps shining! As some of you may know, I sold my wash about a year and a half ago. But I received a bill from my accountant and I don't think I should pay it, but wanted everyone's input first. Here's what happened...

All, The carwash sale closed yesterday and I am officially unemployed. It went quicker than I figured, but I believe it was a good deal and fit for both sides. After 10 years since I began with an idea that our community needed a new carwash, my wife and I decided it was time for a change. I...

So I use to have a bank owned ATM and they paid me rent. After 6 years they decided to pull it out because not enough users from other banks (where they collect $2 fee) were using the machine. After looking at receipts dropped in the garbage, I could see how many were from other banks as the...

Waxman, If you have a compressor nearby, I would just build one. I build mine out of spare parts I had lying around, along with a coinbox and locks I got from KR. It cost me about $500 if I purchased everything (minus the compressor). This was my parts list; -Coinbox & Locks -Coin Mech...

So a competitor of mine (not really a competitor as its an old wash that's badly maintained and has no traffic) started charging for change. For example, if you put in $10, you get $9 back. (from what I hear, the only traffic the wash gets is a steady stream of taxis getting change). The...

All, I'm about to sell my wash. I posted it online in November and it has taken much less time than I expected to come up with a deal. We are to meet and sign this week after drawing up the agreement over the last few weeks. For us, its just time for a change...nothing wrong with the wash or...

Posted this earlier but didn't see it show up on the board... Well it took a while, but they are here and members of most NA acosiations. http://www.cmcarwash.com.tw/ Their prep washer is their anwser to a semi automatic wash for SS bays. See it on youtube...

All, I have been using Simoniz Super Dri with mixed results. It is the cheapest that KR sells. Can anyone suggest a better product that is available at KR as I buy all my stuff there. Thanks in advance!

all, I have quietly put my car wash up for sale. I have not enlisted a commercial realtor (so far) and doing it 'myself' at this point. One opportunity I have is to run an ad in our national car wash magazine. It would be the "annual car wash show edition" and so would get a fair bit of...

So for a while now I've been wanting to roll out a 'conditional' unlimited washing program in my SS bays (I have a separate subscription for IBA) . However, the Gen 1 Unitec Washpay server wasn't able to do what I wanted. So about a year and a half ago, I started discussing what I wanted to do...

So over the mast couple of months I've been trying to upgrade my washpay server and get some odds and ends. I had a long phone discussion with the regional sales guy as I didn't get anywhere with emails and messages to my distributor. As per his request I sent my contact info. I hear nothing...

I need to replace the speaker in my WSII. No specs on it. I suspect its just an 8 ohm speaker. Can anyone confirm?

Now it sounds interesting and a little gadgety...but I don't see it as a threat to our vacs. How well can a 12 volt motor with 12 feet of hose suck? Might be handy for a sudden spill, but that's it. http://youtu.be/7TugWXyMP_c?t=1m9s

I was looking at ways to control access to locked areas (change machines, IBA entry systems), perhaps event doors. But my experience with entry systems are that they are expensive and tedious to maintain. So I was wondering what you guys do? One product I saw was the new Medeco ecylinders...

Saw an ad for the new Karcher power squeegee WV50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8dy-4vV-zs It got me thinking that this could be applied as a SS option. Perhaps even using my existing 3-motor air shammee's suction end, if it was mounted in a canister, or just in a powerful shop vac...

So I have a wash with 8SS bays and 1 IBA. The IBA is busy enough but with 8 SS bays, the availability of at least one bay is 99%. So I want to introduce RFID and time of day specials. But my concern is loading up the IBA that it deters full ticket customers from lining up. So offloading them...

I'd like to start doing this. I see exacta has it...about $5k for the main system and $2k per bay!

Looking for a used PDQ Laser M5. Thanks in advance

All, I'm in the area and interested in seeing a mini express tunnel (less than 50ft). I don't need a tour, just wanted to see one in action... Thks in advance! Big

My PDQ M5 is a great machine, but not perfect. One of the ongoing problems has been the 10' shaft that connects the driver side wheel to the motor/gearbox on the passenger side wheel. On the Laser 4000, that shaft use to be solid (cost over $1000), but on the M5 there are solid ends with a...
