    CarWash Consignment

    I've been beat by them 2 times never again! Buying sight unseen big risk! They take no responsibility for anyone selling BS equipment your on your own! I figured buying from one car wash guy to another was fairly safe! Bought a Uni-Mac "IN GOOD WORKING ORDER" $2,500 + cost $500 to ship when I...

    Mark VII Wheel and Sill Brush any info are they any good?

    I was looking at poodle brushes and came across a Mark VII wheel and sill brush, any experiences with this unit? The major point I like is the wheel instead of the glide bar used like old tire brushes had. these have an issue sometimes with some of the metal tire valves, with sensors (just got...

    Foam vs. Cloth

    Been doing this for 20 years, foam on all drums, able to spin faster and gentler on cars antennas mirrors etc, especially on wraps. But needs more water, cloth on all miters foam on miters does nothing unless you have a top brush where foam is a must. Cloth is easier to clean and does wear...
