It's like you took a picture of my motor room! I'm also in central VA (Richmond) and also inherited A-OK equipment in a run-down 6 bay SS wash a couple years ago. The original equipment was solid, but the previous owner rigged everything instead of doing things right. My journey.... 1...

This is what I used but in several different colors. I think the black is inherently uv resistant. I also tried some DOT tubing and they have a plastic coating that is the uv resistant and color; but this got hung on the push connect fittings and tore off so I didn’t go with that...

I ordered several thousand feet of nylon 12 from hoses and fittings .com and was happy with the quality. Longevity I don’t know yet.

On this topic, I got this gem of a human give me (her?) feedback on my no quarter policy. Seriously though, there have been a number of customers with piles of quarters in hand that leave when they can't use them here. But not enough to invest in taking quarters; not even close.

I put one of the Boartex heads on SS 1 year ago and it has held up great. Already replaced the hog daddy next to it as it was looking worn. A little shinier than boars hair but on the car it feels the same.

How about try the stone soap from Amazon? Been wanting to try their products and you can try 1 order before having to buy in bulk to get lower shipping.

I went token only this year, and it took 3 months of clearing jams from the coin mechs before everyone figured it out. Best thing ever however we still get $20-30 a week of people that bring a bag of quarters and want to change them for tokens. I know I miss a few customers but I am also missing...

Yes that is presoak. When this video was taken, this was KR purple passion at around 90:1 yellow tip, straight from the container. I also inherited some Summer Breeze which does the same. But today, I'm experimenting with a mix of the high pH hyper concentrate from KR, foam additive, and Summer...

Thanks! I have 1/4 inch nylon from the motor room to a foam generator above each bay; then 3/8 hose to the foam gun. Air and soap mix above the bay into the foam generator with a 1/4 inch cross. (I also have Kleen-Rite green tire cleaner going into the same foam generator that foams even better...

See if you can see this link. This is 60psi flojet (and 45-50psi air) with a 4040 tip and a homemade foam generator. Without the foam generator you would get a lot of splattering from the flojet. I have the mixture pretty strong to get it to foam good. Customers use a lot of it now. Feel free...

I started with cryptopay swipe in 2 of 6 SS bays. Slowly customers starting using it. But when I added 3 CryptoTap and one more swipe to make all bays CC capable, sales boomed. I mean doubled and all growth was CC sales. So do all bays and bite the bullet on the CryptoTap units. Been happy with...

If I may ask, what are you looking to do with this purchase? Own and operate? Investment property? I know this area (parents live there) and have driven past that car wash many times. If I remember it’s sunk down off the road a bit, not perfect for curb appeal. Speed limit is 45 right there if I...

I was in a similar boat inheriting a 6 bay self serve along with another business. Equipment was from 1994 and mostly original. Still had shallow well pumps for foam brush and tire cleaner. Most of the “upgrades” were poorly done from the previous owner. Gut jobs were looking like $50-75k and...

I have a switch in the engine room that jumps 24v straight to the rotary switch. Was original and could be used here if you have an off function on your rotary.

I only have Cat 310 pumps. 6 of them from 1994 and needed nothing but seals.
