    Poll: I plan on taking a few days off this summer to relax.

    Fortunately, the restaurants always bring us 2 cakes. No need to share or fight over the candles! :ROFLMAO:🎂

    Air logic or Air shammee

    The Diskin nozzles use the nut swivel inside the cuff & its difficult to replace a worn hose (at the cuff). It kept unscrewing, so we would use Marine JB Weld to prevent it from unscrewing from the nut. Its also very difficult to push the nut swivel into the vacuum cuff. I prefer the Air...

    Air logic or Air shammee

    No there's no room to add a swivel cuff to the existing Air Logic nozzle. Sometimes the hose does get twisted, but most customers untangle it as they use it. Here is our custom nozzle holder. Had my welder add to a SS back plate, so we could reuse the same bolts from Diskins box holder.

    Sometimes you get a lucky break!

    Since we were able to speak with him personally, and made him aware of his poor actions, I don't think he'll do that again. I have had the police issue a "No Trespassing" order in the past. Mainly for homeless loitering. The police in California have their hands tied. Our jails are...

    Thanks Randy! We were wondering what that thing was. His license plate is from OREGON. Since we're in California I hope he never returns, I don't need his kind of business!! 🤬

    Nope, he didn't offer to pay us. I didn't think he would. No common sense. I just hope that my words & photos will help him think in the future. I know accidents happen. I hope we made a lasting enough impression that he'll think twice before washing out spilled oil at our car wash again.

    Sometimes you get a lucky break!

    When we logged into car wash cameras this morning, we saw a black oily mess in Bay 5. We watched this POS guy spray black oil from his truckbed, then scrub with our $100 hogs-hair brush!! We headed out early to clean it up... The hoses were covered in oil as was the foam brush and signs. Took...

    Weirdos, wackos and people who can't read signs

    In December 2021, a garbage truck picking up organic waste from restaurants, misjudged the load & poured it over his windshield. His windshield wipers were ineffective & he couldn't see out. Instead of pulling over & calling his company, the new & inexperienced driver panicked and pulled into...

    Bathroom?

    Last month I found poo behind my dumpster SO LARGE, I swore it couldn't be human!! Maybe I'm losing it, but I had to take a photo... then share it with you! 🤪 😵💩:ROFLMAO:

    Bathroom?

    When my employee is around, I use the bathroom at the gas station across the street. Good time for a team break and sets a good example. But, if I'm alone, working a long day and tired, I have been known to use a bucket and floor drain. Then, I rinse it down to remove any smell. The issue...

    Air compressor

    Yup, I've got 1 phase electrical. If Quincy's are louder, I may stick with my EMAX. I do appreciate that it's quieter than my old Campbell Hausfeld.

    Add dryers or go to dollar tokens

    Go with the dryers! It's a GREAT way to differentiate yourself from your competitors, and your customers will enjoy them. Plan to spend extra time at your car wash, giving away free time, showing your customers how to use them. If you don't, customers will think they're in-bay vacuums and not...

    Air compressor

    I purchased an 80 gallon / 5 HP EMAX Air Compressor in March 2017. Made by Eaton. I've been pretty happy with it. My only complaint is the quality of their parts. After 3 years (2020), we had to replace the Pressure Switch. 2 years later (2022) it stopped working again. A local repairman...

    Bathroom?

    My car wash has a very small pump room and no restroom. When customers ask, I direct them to the 2 gas stations across the street. OMG - I already clean up after my customers, I don't need to make MORE work for myself! On my cameras, I have seen customers pee in the bays, against the vacuum...

    Air logic or Air shammee

    Is Air Logic still a 3-motor system or do they now offer a single motor option? I installed Diskin's Air Shammee II just because they came out with single motor 4.5 HP. The less time I spend on a ladder replacing motors, the longer I'm going to live! :) I prefer Air Logics nozzle & started...

    Air logic or Air shammee

    I was concerned about cleaning too. We mounted the motors & covers as HIGH as we could to clear the other booms. My bays are 15' wide and 9' high. The covers stay remarkably clean. I remove the covers 1x year to clean them & check the motors.

    Air logic or Air shammee

    Depends on the dryer brand & model you buy, and width of your bays. If it's an Air Logic or older Air Shamee with 3 motors, you'll be getting on the roof more to replace the motors. I purchased the Air Shammee II with single 4.5 hp motor & very happy we mounted on the bay wall.
