One thing I have noticed is Android users can get points to use in the Google Play store by being active reviewers. You will often see a reviewer with a "Local Guide" tag where they have reviewed so many businesses in the area. This usually hurts review status because they will stick a 3-star...

Hello all, is there anyone on here who has built their own triple foam setup? Do you have any pros, cons, or advice? Thinking about working on this for a winter project. I will likely move my presoak and tire over to the foam wand as well.

Are there any requirements stating certain signs need to be displayed in a car wash bay, whether regulated by Insurance or the Clean Water Act, etc? I know the obvious first struggle is the customer has to actually pay enough attention to read the signs, but also, I want to have something to...

I switched over from Simoniz Orange Slice to the Kleen White, the color and smell are amazing but it doesn't have near the cleaning power at the same dilution ratios. I'm afraid to go much stronger though, for some reason I have customers that want to spray the tire cleaner over their entire...

I've given up on fixing our old Standard Change Maker. Does anyone have recommendations for a new unit? Will be an in-wall rear load.

I called Kleen, they are out of stock on the PTFE but do have Viton. I'm wondering if I should wait for PTFE now.

thank you! Do I need to get PTFE or Viton?

I’m having a terrible time with check valves, I have had two stick and blow low pressure lines this week. The checks are at the boom in the bay where low pressure ties into my high pressure. The check valves are Deltrol CMMQ20B. Is this the wrong style check to use...

We're $1 for 4mins on vacuums! All local competition is either $1.25 for a combo vac or .50 for 2 mins

Just to jump in on this conversation, I had a customer ask me if I could offer a fleet program, one where he could receive a monthly invoice to turn in on expenses, he would give each of his drivers a wash card. He has a small construction crew that works for a major company and they get X...

Cryptopay is 24VAC, you will have to add a timer supporting CC inputs (Dixmor LED7). The Dixmor timer is 24VAC too. What I've seen most do is add a NO relay, add a 110-24VAC power supply. Use the power supply to run the timer and swiper, run voltage out of timer to a relay, relay energizes with...

They just recently switched to new software for order entry/stock status/processing etc. I actually spoke with a customer service rep yesterday and he reacted that it's coming along but they are working through some hiccups. The new software is sending invoices out, or at least I'm receiving...

MEP where do you place the check valve on the inlet side flow? Do i need to put it after the soap/wax tee or at the pump inlet?

I agree completely, I think there's just too many variables in place to get a strong number.

I'm far away from that! The local average is $0.25 for 35 Seconds!

I spent the past snowy Saturday evening crunching numbers trying to develop a cost-per-minute of use estimate. 5 Bay Self Service Car Wash 2HP Single Phase Motors on Cat310 Pump Here's what I calculated below: For Electricity Cost: 230V x 12 Amps = 2530 Watts 2530/1000= 2.53 Kilowatts/Hour...

That's what I have currently, just hoping for a better way! I had someone suggest to stamp the key then stamp the box somewhere so that you can match up number to number.

Between 5 self-serve bays, vendors, dispensers, doors, and vacuums I have a whole mess of keys. Does anyone have a good solution for organizing all their keys?

Thank you!

I've tried to get a call back from Standard Change-Makers for two weeks now! I keep getting a random "Jackpot" error on one of my dispensers and so far I cannot find out anything about this. Is it just my experience or are bill changers about the most un-reliable piece of equipment at a car...
