Or you could use the reflectors like WashWorld. Creates kind of a nice runaway affect for the customer if that's what you're looking for.

We use transmate's quick clean as our general purpose cleaner diluted about three to one with water. We use a mighty steam generator, mighty hot water carpet extractor, tornador guns and typhoon blow guns. The key is our training. We have been detailing cars since 1985 and have never had any...

thank you

i'm installing credit card Swiper's on my IVS vacuums. They are the old-school ones with no display. I'm leaning towards putting the box for the Swipers on the right hand side of the coin box area. What are your thoughts on this? Do you have pictures you could share of your vacuums with a Swiper...

fabrication and design is odd looking to me. i can't really make sense of the picture.

I'd ask for 3 years tax returns to verify income. I'd ask to see the computer interface on the touchfree to get the actual car counts and a breakdown of the packages. I'd go there on an off-peak time and take a buncha pics and post them here for us to look at. We can give advice based on what...

and don't forget its amazing smell!!!!

I always wonder how people get anything else accomplished in their lives if they can't operate the car wash controls or the credit card Swiper. How do they balance their checkbook? Keep their kitchen and bathroom clean? Handle their finances and save for their retirement? Handle home repairs...

yes I showed them the pictures. they admitted they hadn't checked closely before for the damage. they apologized.

I was in the detail shop today when I saw a red Kia soul pull up. I have a friend with the identical car so I was looking forward to a nice friendly chat. Instead, a woman walked in and explained that my car wash damaged her car. My automatic is a three-year-old razor. I said OK and walked out...

what is your competition like? Is your wash on a fairly busy street with good visibility from the road? Is the egress good or bad? Maybe send some pictures of your wash so we can give you some input based on our experience. Is your chemistry dialed in for maximum show and effectiveness? Is the...

isnt that something you hire a civil engineer for? i spent a significant amount of money on my plans. I think i'm a fairly helpful guy, but i'm not real eager to make copies of detailed architectural drawings and share them freely.
