We've done details at our ss wash in the past. The beginning was great, had a self motivated guy that was experienced at detailing, we supplied the space, insurance, tools and supplies and he scheduled, detailed and met with customers for the pickup of their vehicles. We set the pricing for...

Our experience with them has always been very good, we've had no problems with tech support or item repair - ever - especially pre-Covid. Post Covid, the 2 readers we needed repaired just took so very long and phone calls were answered, just without any resolution. I certainly understand that...

Anyone else having trouble getting parts repaired with wash gear? I sent them readers needing repair in October 2021 and follow up phone calls seem to be a runaround. This is unusual for them, past history has always been quick repair turnaround and hassle free. Just curious if others are...

Thanks. I think this is what we’re going to do. I’ll tie in our antifreeze purge so when the brushes are deactivated with the weep system coming on, they will get purged. They will go right back into service above freezing and the system will reset itself.

Hadn’t considered rigging it that way but sounds reasonable. Thanks

Thanks all for the replies. Our experience with the antifreeze soap has been that we would put it into service because expected lows were below freezing at some point, then not again for 2 days then back to freezing ect. Most of it was being used when not needed. So it was either change it over...

We have a simple weep system for the wands, but nothing for the foam brushes. I looked at the weepmizer but I’m not sure it’s worth the expense. a simple relay will disable the foam brushes when the wand weeps come on and perform a purge at the same time, then automatically reset when the...

I was curious if anyone in Oklahoma / Texas/ Kansas just disables foam brush when the temperature gets to freezing. Our wash was built (not by us) with no freeze protect system for foam brush. We currently use a methanol mix to purge with through the cold spells, but have to monitor it...

Actually was asking for a customer who wanted to know what to try. We passed the information along and haven’t seen them come through since. We will have to check with them when they come in again.

Thanks for both suggestions, we actually do use windex for a lot of things but never have tried woolite. We will give those a try! Again, thanks

I have a customer that has a blue sno-cone stain on her light grey leather seats. She has tried Dawn dish soap and use a "light" wipe with a magic eraser. She is having no luck removing the stain. Does anyone have any suggestions that I could pass on to her?

The low pressure hose didn’t fail because I changed them to copper line after we bought the wash a few years ago. We used to get surprised with low pressure line failures on the spot free system. So I replaced them with copper. But you’re right, it would have been obvious otherwise. Thanks

My Hat’s off to you MEP001! thanks for your help. It’s amazing how easy it is to overlook the simple stuff. I was completely ignoring the spot free check valve. Easy fix, thank you.

MEP001, Thanks, I’ve checked the one for the weep, but failed to think about the low pressure check valves. Good thought! I’ll give those a look.

Hello all, Scratching my head about a pressure issue I’ve not seen before. One of my pumps has mysteriously lost pressure. Seals only had about 400 hours when the pump pressure dropped to 1000 pounds from the 1500 we normally run. First thought was a new tip, no change, the pressure regulator...

Washnshine, we were generally looking at Simoniz liquid acid cleaner which runs at a 1.5 ph as listed in the sds, assuming it’s somewhat higher than that with some mix ratio with water. Our current wheel cleaner is clean white advertised as 10.5 ph before the dilution and delivery to the bay...

Mac, Thanks for the input. Our tire and wheel cleaner is already a high PH alkaline. We think it does pretty well, but this customer is asking for citrus for big trucks, thinking it will do better than what we already offer. I know that a lot of truck washes use citrus and people generally like...

Just curious if anyone runs citrus acid as a pre-soak in self serve bays? We have a customer requesting it and his fleet is sizable enough that we are considering it, but aren't familiar with it on a large / general public use scale. Is it something we don't want everyone having access to...

How much would you sell an se controller for and how would I pay? PayPal?
