Finally got the Lights in for this Arch! Also addressed the water pressure issue to give full effect!

Seeing the customer's eyes open wide when they see this when entering. Priceless!

Still tweaking it with chemical products from vendors. Using a High Foaming Low Ph Shampoo after a High Alkaline Presoak.

It really gives a show!
 
Looks like the car is going thru with the brakes on?

Did the lights come with the arch or was thatsomething seperate?

I deleted the sound because of my comments about the brake! It wasn't nice!

The light fixture was separate purchase. TSS Carwash sells them!
 
Have you got a video from inside the car? I ask because although the arch puts on a great show I have gone through 3 local places, some more than once to exerience this as a customer. Even though I know it's there and I look for it, with the hood of the car in the arch when it starts it's really difficult to see and experience the effect from the Driver's seat. Seems like those locations are not providing the full effect for the customer.

Hi Earl,

I hope this helps!
 
Nice, You get a few seconds of view as it starts at the leading edge of the car. Have you thought about starting 1-2 seconds sooner for more driver exposure?
 
I saw from another post that you are currently running 3 hydrominders for this unit. Are you using 511 hydrominders? What dilution do you have running for these 3 units? We purchased the same light bar you have from TSS.....customers love it here as well!

Yes, using 511 hyrominders. I started off with purple tips, moved to aqua, then to yellow. Only 2 on yellow one on purple. Just the way it worked out for consistency.
 
It looks real pretty.

Since this is a soaping arch, my question is how are you obtaining additional money from customers for it?

For example, is it an add-on for hot wax or something or was it done strictly to create show?

Thank you!

It's for the show! However, I am raising my prices in January because of the increase in

minimum wage. I hope the show softens the price change.
