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...

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

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.

While talking to CryptoPay yesterday, I was informed that they now offer wash down card capability. You simply use any credit card you personally carry, they capture the card number. Once they designate it as a wash down card you can use it in any of their swipers you have on site and there...

I recently replaced my compressor and someone suggested an auto drain which I purchased on EBAY for about $45. It's very slick and simple to install. I mounted on the wall near the compressor and an outlet. One hose from the compressor drain goes to the new valve. Two controls are on the...

I peruse the in bay automatics section often and it recently occurred to me how few operators using Wash World Razors are posting problems with their machines. Having had mine two years I know why. During my ownership, I've had almost no issues. The machine is a workhorse. I couldn't be...

I sent a swiper to CryptoPay on Nov. 23. It has been 7 weeks and I'm still waiting it's return. Has anyone else had this slow of service from them?

I have two openers with operator button boxes for 8' IBA doors. Basically, everything but the doors. Anyone have an idea where to sell them and what they are worth?

I currently have Mercury Payments as my processor for Unitec WSII. Have not been able to log onto my portal for weeks and have not been able to get tech support to return my calls after their gatekeeper is unable to resolve my problem. Unitec says I have three other choices for processors...

Did anyone else fall for their scam? They offered a $50 prepaid Visa card if I provided three months of processing statements for analysis. I was very interested until I found out it was dial up, I use DSL. Spoke to them twice after not receiving the card. Then filed a case with the state...

Has anyone tried selling the new AA two packs? I was wondering if they will sell, at what price and if so, are you also offering the singles and at what price.

I had a customer tell me they inserted a $10 bill (3am), got no change. He says that a few minutes later, his buddy, against his advice put in a $5 bill to get vending items and it worked. Has been working ever since. I refused a refund. I'm 99% sure my changer balanced. I qualify that...

I have a couple of vacuum decals that are coming loose at the corners. What kind of adhesive works best to reattach them?

Is anyone vending vent clip fresheners? How are they selling? Which ones have you tried? How much do you vend them for? Do they cannibalize Little Tree sales? Thanks.

After reviewing costs and shipping for vending items, it clearly is time to adjust prices. Like others, I've been hesitant to go above price points like $1 or $2. For example, it just doesn't make sense to sell AA Tire Foam for $2 when the cost is $1.11, sales tax adds .12 and shipping is...

Some of you may recall my post regarding the catastrophic power surge I experienced in March. I replaced the D&S Quicksilver with a new WashWorld Razor and couldn't be happier. The service thus far has been superb. The machine does excellent job of cleaning. I have reduced the wash time on...

What a nightmare. An apparent power surge fried just about everything in my D & S Quicksilver. When I received a call from my security service that the automatic had shut down, I went to my remote surveillance. All lights were out. Assuming it was a power outage, I called the utility company...

Last August I replaced the decal on my Unitec WSII. It was $150. A luxury car dealer in my area applies a clear plastic "shield" to protect the hoods of cars from rock chips. They gave me a piece which I cut and applied to my decal before installing. It has been in place seven months and I...

This sounded like a clever idea so I ordered two and installed yesterday. One of the two did not last 24 hrs. The light assembly is cheap plastic. It was laying on the island this morning. Cheap little plastic tabs connect it to the claw and they must have broken from the claw smacking...
