Curious as to how everyone has their wash passes set up? Also would you recommend we run our hot wax right before the ceramic, or is it good where we have it now? This is the order that our soap distributor set it up. We are using simoniz products, except for presoaks those are kleentrack. We...

I’m in a lower/middle class area and outright cost the XR7 will be cheaper but long run am I missing out on the Edge? I can obtain that machine for only roughly 20k more. My thoughts in so far choosing XR7 is based on my clientele/ demographic. They are wanting an affordable product that gives...

Is it a good idea to add a second IBA? I have 3 ss bays and 1 friction IBA. I am considering converting 1 ss bay to another IBA. I seem to always have 1 ss bay open. However my IBA doesn't queue vehicles very often either but i think its related to the customers opinion of IBA unit and not...

I want to open a touchless car wash in Romania, do you know any European IBAs manufacturer or what would you recommend for IBA? I can't invest 100k only in the equipment since I could make 2-3$ maximum on a wash and I expect 20-30 cars per day.
