Does anyone else have the WW Radiantz? Overall it has been reliable and easy to operate but there are a few issues that i'd like to resolve.
1. I want to clean the backs of the vehicles at least half as well as it does on the sides...am i asking to much?
2. I'd like to pre soak the entire vehicle...not just the top half!
3. I'd LOVE to wash the front of the car without removing the lic plate!
4. I'd like to wash cars without scratching them! The foam brushes work well but the bottom 1/3 have mostly cloth for what i assume are tire scrubbers. cloth coupled with poor pre-soak = scratched cars! I did however add a couple spray nozzles to the UB flush to at least get the car wet before the brushes touch and I also removed literally half of the cloth from the lower 1/3 of brushes and this has helped but its not resolved! If I went to all foam would I sacrifice the quality of the wash? Referring back to the removal of half the cloth...The real issue was that the bottom 1/3 of the brushes are very dense with cloth and foam so the arms couldn't come into the car enough to clean the upper half of the car.
5. when a car is entering the wash while another is going through the dryer, mitter cloth gets blown around and can cover one of the stop eyes and prematurely activates the wash. this has decreased since i finally got ****ed enough to cut 4 pieces of the mitter off!!
6. SUV's and crossovers account for a large portion of my business, the problem is the backs of these vehicles slant forward out of reach for the brushes to make contact, furthermore when it can make contact the mitter is draped over the back so it doesn't get washed anyhow! Short of hiring someone to hand wash the backs of said SUV's what can I do...has anyone found a solution?
7. 75% of the time the mitter cloth washes the top side of the vehicle pretty decently...how does one capture the other 25%
Maybe Im to picky, maybe what I'm looking for is a unicorn and doesn't really exist! I just want to do the best job possible for my customers and I feel more can be done I just need to figure out how. This is by no means meant to be a bashing session on Washworld, the Radiantz does a good job it just lacks in some areas that I feel could be and should be addressed.
