Yes I would, I was saying I wouldn't examine the cost per minute of any selection unless I thought it was costing too much now.

Reasonable Cost of Soap/Wax per minute?

$0.04 per minute

If sales are $0.44 per minute, $0.04 is ten percent of sales.

Ten percent is reasonable for cost of goods chemicals.

$0.44 per minute for 4-minutes is $1.75.

So, better question is $0.44 per minute sales reasonable?

As one person mentioned, chemical at self-serve is chump change.

For example, what is going to put more money in your pocket, increasing sales by 10 percent per minute ($0.04) minute or reducing cost of chemical by ten percent per minute?

FYI…Sort of related to the topic…I use a Pela Pro a lot in the ER when I have to drain a tank or even to clean the bottom of a mix/float tank without draining. It makes for easy testing when trying to dial in a mixture. No need to wait days for the mixture to stabilize. I keep one for Oil and another for the chemical/float tanks.

The Mityvac also has my interest….

Obviously increasing sales or price by 10%...But I would do both when feasible!
