I know! It did look in great shape in 2021. Looks like something went wrong with the left side wheel scrubber, and either the part or parts were too expensive or no longer existant.
Oh gosh its been ancient times since I have personally seen a R7B. Probably the one at the chevron in Mobile that had that very short bay Softgloss XS.
@@bpot1927 there was also a BP gas station at the intersection of Cottage Hill Rd and Schillinger Rd that had a R7B with green fillament brushes in the mid 90's and later turned into a Voyager with the same green brushes. The gas station closed down in the early 2000's and turned into a bank that is still there to this day.
@@CarwashMan18 extremely interesting! where im at, we do have a r7b (blue checked scheme,no dryers) at a diamond shamrock.. but of course it is closed forever unfortunately
@@CarwashMan18 Man it's been so long, I am that guy from Florida btw just on my secondary account. Do you have FB where maybe we could keep in contact and get to know each other further by chance?
Well thank you for the warm welcomed return back to the car wash world, and indeed it was wierd to see the power still on but it was very evidently clear it wasnt working anymore
I’m so glad you’re back. I’ve been searching for this video for years until I discovered you deleted your channel. If you don’t mind, why did you delete your old one?
Dang, it actually looks to be in decent shape. Some new brushes and tlc and I’d say it’d be good for another couple hundred thousand washes.
