    bug spray

    Ok here goes! I added the shut off valve recently so I could work on it without turning off the water to the auto. When I cut the line to put it in the line was full of blue soap which has to be the tri-foam from my softgloss. I am Ting off from the water line that goes to the chemical pumps...

    bug spray

    Add it where? I have one in the bay and one in the equipment room. There is enough pressure to leak in a stream to the middle of the bay. That should be plenty to hold the solenoid closed. Right?

    bug spray

    Some of them do some of them don't. Sometimes they work till the tech gets to the interstate then leak. The last one I put on leaked immediately. I don't see how it could be anything but the solenoid but I don't see how it can be the solenoid either.

    bug spray

    Ok guys this is getting crazy! I have had 2 car wash techs, a plumber and my jack of all trades guy look at this thing and nobody can figure it out! The water T's off to a shutoff valve, then booster pump, then out of the pump goes to the solenoid, check valve, chemical injector then to the...

    Used Friction machine

    I wouldn't be a bit afraid to buy a used softgloss since I have a tech that is qualified to install it. That is exactly what I should do if I had the time to devote to my wash that it should get. I would guess that most cw failures are not due to faulty equipment but poor locations and poor...

    New Ryko FoamBrite Replacement option

    I bought some of the neoglide from Astromatic. You just screw the individual pieces in. $500 will probably replace all that need replacing. No wonder I wasn't doing a good job on the lower part of cars. My foam was worn to a nub!

    It was a legal liability issue not an accounting issue.

    taxes when selling

    Soapy Did you by chance open that business before 1993? Looks like goodwill was not deductible on businesses open before 1993.

    taxes when selling

    Yeah I'm afraid of that. That's why I was hoping that I could get cap gains on goodwill and he could depreciate it. Guess the irs thought of that... although I just read that if structured as an "asset purchase" godwill can be depreciated over 15 years. If structured as a "stock" sale it is...

    taxes when selling

    I have searched this and read everything that I could find but some of those posts were dated so I thought I'd bring it up again. I priced my wash yesterday and put a price on it that I think will be irresistable. It's a very nice wash and does very well. New responsibilities with my regular job...

    I have a full wheel scrub in my equipment room. I'd be pleased to sell the whole thing for probably what that part costs.

    STA no credit

    My STA goes through spells where it doesn't give credit but takes the bill. Sometimes I get a 62 error code which is "inventory deposits" I think. I don't even know what that means. If I put in my spare it works fine. If I wait a couple of days and put my original back it will work for a period...
