I sold my 5/1 today. I just want Forum members to know how pleased I have been with my WW Razor, the service support and Blendco chemicals Professional Car Wash supplied. I had the Razor installed four years ago after using a gantry style machine for seven years. Once the machine was...

I'm turning 66 years old in a couple of months and sold my 5/1. The sale is closing today. I want to thank everyone who contributes to this site for making it an excellent resource for operators. Over the last 11 years I've found other operators go our of their way to help anyone here who...

If you want an idea of the kind of factory support available, call D&S and ask for technical support. They will not talk to you and will tell you to contact your distributor. If you say that you cannot reach your distributor, they will tell you that they will try to reach the distributor and...

I'd put in the fragrance vac. The residents like to use the fragrance to cover the smell of illegal substances. I have two combos, one frag and one shampoo. They both do well. I can't really qualify the small difference in revenue because the vac island locations affect usage more than the...

I learned today from CryptoPay that on the Dixmor LED7 timer, the customer is not charged for the current segment of time until that period is up. I called to find out why cc were not being charged full amount. So for example, $2 = 3 min 12 seconds. (.25 = 24 secs) If customer runs timer to 3...

An interesting observation. At my 5/1, I have CryptoPay swipers on the SS bays and 2 busiest vacs. $200 of cc use in SS bays yesterday. No rain yesterday and no credit card use on either vacuum.

I am never able to open the attached photos in posts. It spins forever. Does anyone know what my problem may be?

I reconcile the cc charges the same way as checks. There are always a payment or two on the cc report that have not cleared the bank. I post those as one deposit but list the individual outstanding cc charges on the detail line so that I can easily reconcile on the next statement. Those...

I recently filed a claim with IMT and was pleased with the way it was handled. The claim involved property damage and loss of income for 25 days during a busy period this Dec/Jan. The previous Dec was unusually slow so was not a good comparable. I submitted a lot of documentation. The...

I can never get that kind of photo file to open.

I have my SS bays and 2 of my 4 vacs on cryptopay. I do not use the analytics because the swipers on the vacs get so little use. I average about one swipe per day between the two vacs so I don't even bother to try and carve out the little bit of vac use. I do have an instructional decal above...

I was in the vending business for 20 years. Rowe $ chgrs were known for being the best available. Ten years later I buy a car wash with a Rowe changer. I had nothing but problems like the ones mentioned. I switched to an MEI conversion and have been very satisfied.

I have been using it in IBA and SS for about 4 years. I'm happy with the products. They clean well in both IBA and SS. The last time my rep did a draw test, I believe my top wash was about .65 for chemical. In the SS I particularly like the scent of ps, wx anc tc. They just smell powerful...

An anecdote regarding your search for high security locks. I use Medico. Two thieves drilled on a Medico plug in a ss meter box for 90 minutes and did not get in. Locksmith spent another hour and 2 or 3 drill bits to get in. They then used their pickup truck to knock over my ACW made of...

You may have better luck going through a Rowe distributor. They should be able to get you the decals and let you know what is going on with Rowe. Our local distributor in Des Moines is Greater America Distributing. They also have an Omaha office.

I'm trying to find "regular V-spray type" nozzles in 1/8". All I find are 1/4" plastic or the VeeJet HVVSS max psi 1000#

I used a Dremel rotary tool with a small grinding bit to make the hole a little bigger where the "ear" of the plug lock pops in.

I have signs on my doors that say, "HEATED BAY" as the floor heat keeps the bay warm and "DOOR OPENS AUTOMATICALLY" it also closes automatically.

Have you tried spraying lube in the lock. I've used WD-40 successfully but your locksmith probably has a lube specifically for locks.

Year to date, my vac revenue is 4.6% of total site sales. I just increased my vac prices from $1/4min to $1.50/4 min. I offer combo vacs and they include crevice vacs. I concur that the amount of work, trash, illegal dumping result in a lot of hidden costs. I replace a fragrance or shampoo...
