Last year I installed XRS airlift doors on my automatic bay. Since these doors can remain closed in the winter to keep in the heat, I've recently had trouble with customers thinking the wash is closed. I've heard of some wash owners having signs on the Vinyl doors that say "Car Wash Open" or...

I have a pair of XRS Airlift Doors that I installed in my bay roughly two years ago. I've noticed recently that when a car enters/exits the bay, the doors sometimes stop about halfway on their way down. This usually leaves about a 3/4 foot open gap between the ground and the door. As the weather...

I live in a city where my county requires me to shutdown my vacuum operations from 12am to 7am. I have each vacuum on a relay that I switch-off at 12am, and switch back on at 7am. I am thinking of adding crypto-pay credit card readers to each vacuum, however each vacuum loses power every day...

Has anyone done a sound measurement, or know of any sound measurement data that is available for the Ryko Softgloss? Particularly when the brushes are washing a car, or when the dryer is running? Thanks,

Hi Everyone, My Softgloss was working fine today, however a customer complained this afternoon that the pay-station was not accepting her code. I walked into the bay, and noticed the screen presenting code 81 - "Back up air switch / photo-eye problem. Check air switch hose for damage, or check...

Hi Everyone, I recently had a power failure, and my pay station is no longer prompting/"speaking" at all. I was able to input a code into the Pay Station, and it triggered the carwash and washed the car. However, when a car drives up to the pay station it would usually greet them and ask them...

Hi Everyone, On Colder days I would notice the Top Brush on my Ryko machine would loudly squeak or make a “moaning” sound on it’s way up to the normal resting position after a pass over a car. However, lately it is making the sound after it washes every car, regardless of the temperature and...

Hi there, Im based in the Northeastern area, and we've been having some really cold weather come through here the past few weeks. I currently operate a friction IBA (Older Ryko Softgloss), and unfortunately my doors either stay open or closed throughout the day. Current temperature is 22...

Hi everyone! I visited a site today that had a newly install FLEX5 Istobal Roll-over - man was this thing sweet! I’m consider getting one for my bay, but I have never owned a Istobal unit before. Can anyone provide feedback on Istobal products? Are they hard to maintain, or order parts for? Do...

Hi there, I'm new to the IBA world - in the past I've only owned Self Service washes. I've been digging through the forum looking for guidance, and I was hoping you guys could provide me your insight and feedback. The site I recently acquired is in Northern Virginia, and it has an existing (16...
