I’ve started to see more and more of these online - home solutions for a touchless wash. I’m wondering if this will add more people to the diy/driveway/enthusiast segment...

My wife uses some software that is subscription based - she essentially pays for one year and all updates etc. are covered and then you renew in a year. The company also has a lifetime subscription available, where for the fee, you get updates essentially for ever, as long as you are...

I thought it might be fun to share a few of MEP’s memorable quotes from over the years. This was MEP on a thread where people were sharing how they fixed various breakdowns.

Just in case anyone missed the emails-there are four days left for free shipping on orders over $750 from KR.

This car belongs to a friend of mine and the plastic trim got roughed up in a house scrape. I can take care of the paint, but do not know how to approach the black plastic trim. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I know a lot of the country is going to be getting some bad weather these upcoming days and into the holiday weekend. Stay safe, be careful and I hope none of us sustain any property damage.

I’m probably behind on this, but I just saw Simoniz has the next generation sealer out. Had anyone tried it? https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-69965-simoniz-carbonite-graphene-infused-surface-hardener-55-gallon.aspx

This article is over 1 year old, but it is the first I have heard of this news. Ceccato may have seen the market Istobal was able to enter here in the states and might be going for similar success...

I see this company is advertising here on the forum. It looks a lot like the X-Stream IBA. https://www.blastoffwashsystems.com/ Anyone ever see one?

I noticed the label my Vantagloss Ceramic Wax says it “cures in a few hours after application”. I also used to use Rain x complete about 10 years ago and there was a similar scenario with that product. Do all of the super hydrophobic rain repellent/hot wax/ceramic wax products have a cure...

Does anyone have experience using Turtle Wax chemicals? Any input and feedback on any of their solutions would be appreciated - self serve/automatic/friction/touchless - any feedback. Thanks.

This wash just opened up about 15 miles from me. He had 2 Petit IBA’s and free vacs. Really nice building and set up. I know for a fact that there is an express exterior slated to open near him within the next year. He’s already got the free vacs, it’ll be interesting if he transitions over...

Asking my car wash forum friends for what they recommend at home. I’m replacing an 18 year old Genie screw drive at my house. Belts and chains seem to be more prevalent now. Is one better than the other - belt or chain? Chamberlain, Genie, Liftmaster? I figured someone must have done...

Enjoy your day, everyone!

Just heard that a regional chain in upstate NY (Royal Car Wash)is being purchased by Go Car Wash. 14 locations to start with and they are building 10 more. Looks like Go is in the Southwest - I’ve never heard of them. Royal was growing super fast and was slated to be up to 32 locations by...

Just visited this wash last week. Impressive tunnel. Has indoor customer wipe down and indoor free vac stations. Yes - you read it - Indoor! Huge building. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=zxHthv7hBtX&back=1

Has anyone seen a Belanger cube in person? No where near me, but the machine interests me and I’d like to hear any impressions anyone might have. The three axis side wheels and complete cross-over looks like it can probably clean the backs of vehicles better that any other friction machine...

Not sure if anyone has tried this, but it works wonders in a pinch. Probably would not use it as a permanent fix on a hp hose to an Iba, but I had a very small and slow leak (it took about 6 hours for a small drop to appear) on a fitting on my basement sink faucet. Didn’t want to tear it apart...

Nothing to do with my wash- this is in a house. Have a friend who has a ceiling light and fan suddenly not working. They are on separate circuits(different rooms too - not a combo unit) and everything else on both circuits is on is working. No power to the box where the switch is for either...

Just saw Kleen Rite had this out now: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-66327-kleen-track-1b-exp-high-ph-liquid-presoak-55-gallon-drum.aspx
