    Cost Per Car

    Cost per Car I agree with you here on customer impression. Getting a great clean for your money it primary. Putting on 80% of the soap to do the job will only create frustration and cause customers to go elsewhere. Buying a soap that cost less per unit will not always create lest cost...

    calling on new and used car dealerships

    Payment up front Most business people understand what bad debt is like. They understand if they are doing business with a business that has uncollectable receivables, they are going to have to pay higher prices to get what ever it is they are purchasing. So, this is how I approach them: I am...

    My side.... Of course I am looking at it from my side.... my side is the customers side. I am the customer... for them to get my money they have to provide a quality service. If you are not giving them what they want then they aren't going to be giving you the cash out of their pocket.

    Scientist & God I do not mix these two. I leave spiritual things to God... lots of things there that I don't understand and feel I have no need to understand because he is in control of them. The natural wonders of this world I leave to scientist. I do not know much about how this universe...

    Hot Rinse Water?

    Thanks MEP001... I think I am beginning to understand what you are saying. Thanks for that clarifying statement. They are using the water from the rinse tank to feed the soap and wax low pressure systems as well as the rinse. That may be true... I will have to look next time I am there. I...

    Hot Rinse Water?

    I looked inside the tank. It for sure was the rinse water... the high volume valve and float... no hydrominder. The soap and wax was under the same lid... one large one... and they were definitely not hot. I ask the guy if that was the way it was... hot rinse water... and not hot soap... and...

    Hot Rinse Water?

    Hot pre-soak I can understand... but rinse? The high pressure rinse goes on before the Clear Coat Protectant... so it wouldn't help that in any way and you won't want to heat the Spot Free which is the only thing that goes on after their protectant. Since they are not heating the...

    Hot Rinse Water?

    I was in a wash the other day... had hot rinse water and cold soap. Isn't this backward? The soap tank was attached to the rinse tank... so it did have a warming affect on the pre-soak, but I don't understand the hot rinse. Any ideas?

    Overzealous City Water Works Employee

    Check this guy out You may find that he will draw unhelpful attention to your wash whither he is an attendant or not. If you have any way of getting his full name, and where he came from, you may find he has a history of shaking people down. I would be very wary of him.
