I had a truck bay at one of my washes that I sold. Very typical for the drivers to come in and get $20 worth of qtrs and use all of it up in the bay. This was just to clean the tractor not even touching the trailer. Hope this helps. Ill be watching this thread because I have been...

Yes it is. KR doesnt carry them anymore but I knew I had ordered from them before. Good to know you can special order them. Greg thanks again for the heads up. I picked up the last 8 they had. Sales person said they have been discontinued and Dultmeier was looking for a replacement item.

Hey guys do any of you know the KR part # for the white filter/strainer that goes in the bottom of the chemical tanks for Jim Coleman systems. I know I picked some up from KR before but for the life of me I can't find them. Thanks

This is what my JC pump stand puts out with a procon pump. Each vertical stripe is about 18 to 20 inches wide. I have ⅜ on the product and ¼ on air. Dont recall the psi but I can double check this week. I replaced the JC foam generators with homemade ones because even though they were clean...

This is a new one on me. One side of the changer was down. Thought a jammed quarter or sticky qtr etc. Opened the hopper up to this....which is my first time to encounter. Has this happened to any of you and how did you fix it? Tighten the quarter wheel down more?

Ill take that the stealing part as a compliment coach haha Yeah but your wash's location is killer almost a no brainer....it was weird it didn't take off sooner but glad your getting good traction now.

$900K ($450K land + $450K for equipment).....for a closed down wash.....yikes! I'm sure it beats building from the ground up but still yikes, that's a lot of debt for no income history in my opinion. I have restored 2 closed down washes but on both cases I asked around until I got some quality...

Where are you located and can you send me pictures

My other business so that I can easily take care of both and not waste time driving between them. If I had to pick another one I would say all the above plus a walgreens or CVS; I have seen some cw locations around my city that do pretty good with one located next to them. I have a Dollar...

I just do a trust system. My weekend guy is good about texting me when he arrives and when he leaves in the event there is something extra I want him to do, for example, clean the vacs. I check my cameras 4 to 5 times during the day just to make sure the lot isn't a mess or a coin jam in the...

I pay one guy about $50 per car wash which takes him about 2 hrs. each wash so $25/hr. My weekend guy that mainly does trash pick up, cleans bays, and test equipment I pay $15/hr. He's an older guy so I don't want him up on a ladder. I did trust one of my guys and had been suspecting...

Biggest downside Coach is you don't get your capital back to reinvest or use in any other potential future investment. Your money is tied up with them and the property unless they are willing to give you a substantial down payment which I would ask for knowing the car wash business.

Muriatic acid from local home depot store. Instructions say to dilute it but we ended up using it straight because the walls were so dirty

Here in TX we get it not as bad as a few years. The dust from W TX gets blown into the atmosphere as a front bringing the rain is moving in. Yes it's great for car washing and the self serve model as I see a lot of customers come by spray the car off as their in a hurry to get where their going.
