    Hi guys, I am after a new General Pump CW1541. I also would consider a substitute pump if it doesn't require modifications. I checked Interpump but the Italian manufacturer's website is hopeless and I am still waiting for a reply from their Australian distributer. Would you guys have any advise...

    Washworld Razor washing envelope moves sidewards and rips of mirror

    Hi all, 6 months after replacing my gearbox our machine ripped off a Jeep's side mirror. The whole washing envelope moved 1 foot to the side. I was able to easily move my arch by hand for about 3 seconds. Then it was rock solid. I tried to move it back which was not possible. Because we were so...

    Greasing Washworld Razor - why? Are we still living in the 1950's?

    Hi all, Every week I'm greasing my WW Razor and have done that in the last 10 years. I grease it, then I remove the grease left-overs, clean it and grease it again. Like an old car out of the 50's. Well, maybe I'm dumb but wouldn't it be much more operator friendly to put some waterproof needle...

    WW Razor / Laserwash "pool noodle"

    FYI I got a price for my foam on the Razor arch.....after recovering from my heart attack I thought there must be a cheaper AND NICE way to replace this stupid pool noodle. Honestly, I don't know what PDQ charges but Washworld's price is a rip-off! I bought three Jumbo pool noodles from a pool...

    WW Razor jumping teeth on the belt

    Hi all, Just wondering what you guys think about this: Since a while my WW Razor bridge is out of alignment (in home position the left hand side of the bride is 2" closer to the exit than the right hand side). I haven't figured out why. It would mean it would jump two or three teeth. It then...

    Razor arch foam

    Hi all, Maybe you have an idea where to get the blue arch foam for a WW Razor. I think WW prices are ridiculous for a what is in fact a glorified pool noodle. At least where I live. I don't really want to go insulation with cable ties but maybe someone has an idea. :)Thank you very much.

    Istobal question

    This is addressed to all owners & dealers of Istobal automatic carwashes. I am able to get a very good deal on an Istobal M-Start. Can Istobal machines in general wash flatbed pick-ups without being damaged. My dealer says no - only when creating a special wash program (which I don't want). He...

    Which cars don't you allow into your brush machine?

    Hi all, I'm thinking of replacing my old Washtec with a WW Profile. Currently I only can wash sedans, station wagons or anything with large wall areas for the machine to not get damaged as it doesn't detect any parts protruding from the vehicle. I would like to get a feel of how other machines...

    Strange issue with Washworld Razor

    Hi all, Maybe you have any ideas. I am running out of them. This is what happens: About once a week my WW Razor doesn't go back into home position. North-South is okay but it ALWAYS stops around 1' before its final position. This is what my technician and I with the assistance of Washworld have...

    Razor rear washing

    Hi all, At the moment I am considering buying a Washworld Profile. Looking at videos I noticed that when the car is being washed at the front or rear the Profile only uses one side-brush to wash the whole rear. My current machine (a Washtec) uses both brushes. Both sidebrushes move in until they...

    Simple, reliable stainless steel workhorse? Any thoughts?

    Within the next 2 years we are going to replace our old Washtec with a new brush machine. The current machine is 12 years old. On my machine all stainless steel parts (not many) look great the rest is just a rust bucket. I am after a simple to work on, reliable machine that my customers cannot...

    Splatter soap as presoak?

    When I switch over from Presoak to HP there is a nice little moment when the soap comes out thick and firm before the HP water starts. It looks like kinda splatter wax coming out of the normal gun. I don't have room for an extra splatter gun but would love to do something to make that "special...

    Disinfectant idea....

    I was watching Australian TV and one of the local Councils had organized a company to disinfect their park benches. Can't we just built something like that and use it at the carwash? Disinfecting the equipment / selling it as an option??? Here is the video: https://streamable.com/lbgie2

    What do you think about this?

    What do you think about this? Is there something at a commercial level on the market? I like the fact that it also vacuums it up. https://tornador.us/zv-200-tornador-velocity-vac.html I found this (without the vacuum on a German website)...

    Waxing with a brush?

    We all know, that if you want to hand wax your car you put the wax on a micro cloth put it on and then wipe it off. Especially, nowadays with the newer waxes that come in a liquid form this all seems to be very easy. Now, the question is: Can't we make money out of this? I mean: Is there a...
