Very cool setup against the wall. The potted plants add a nice, exotic touch! 👍🌞🪴

Thats the beauty of the Car Wash Forum! To share information & help fellow operators. I know I've learned a lot over the years from this forum. HUGE "Thank You!" to all who contribute & share their wisdom!! :)

If I go with WashCard (UWashApp), these "uninformed app users" may become my customers, so YES I do consider their feedback. If they're having problems registering their credit card, or experience delays with your wash app, I want to know that so I can make "an important business decision"...

I don't even consider the 2 dirty, run-down car washes around me competition. I drive by both of them on the way to my car wash. It has become my guilty pleasure reading their 1 star reviews and reading what customers are complaining about. It validates my hard work and keeps me motivated to...

Northern California, just outside Sacramento

Yup, ours is pretty scratchy too! Just put on a new brush last week... Bristles are stiff nylon. What an idiot!! Guess they don't read instructions in Hawaii either! 🤪

Maybe he thought it was a "waterless car wash"? The Fragramatics Carpet Shampooer puts out a "dry foam". Who knows what the Hell he was thinking or not... 🤯

Yes, you're right. I always lock the door when my back is towards the door. Don't need customers wandering inside. I have a small pump room, no place to sit down. When I take a break, I stand in the door way, facing out towards the 1st bay.

Caught this guy using my Carpet Shampoo brush to scrub the OUTSIDE of his car! I told him that the brush is designed to clean the carpets and mats INSIDE his car. He apologized, said he was from Hawaii and didn't understand how the machine works! 😳🤣 I gave him some extra tokens, explained the...

Hi Strava, I've been following your thread and felt the need to give you my opinion. Sorry, but I'm not feeling the love around the "chicken" name idea.... Chickens usually avoid getting wet, and prefer dry bathing. The right name should give customers a fun visual, that you can tie into...

My local locksmith was able to provide American brand locks that were all keyed the same to access my vacuum cannisters. When I purchased the car wash in 2003, the owner handed me ONE HUGE keyring with ALL the keys to the car wash. What a liability if you lost that one keyring!! :O You may...

My local RV dealer recommended this 303 Spray to protect vinyl, plastic & rubber. It uses nanotechnology (small molecules) to provide a deeper UV protection. I use it on my decals and plastic, and leaves a lasting shine. Amazon sells it for cheaper than the RV shop. Wear gloves, you don't...

That used to happen to me. Tell them to update your account with "ship complete". I've been ordering from KR for the past 19 years and very happy with their Order and Customer Service depts. The website is a bit wonky. I placed an order last week, used a "Free shipping" promo with...

I have Diskin's 5 HP motor. I tried it myself to test. When the motor is on, the Air Logic gun does NOT leave the holder at all. But, if you put it on the ground, it does want to snake around at your feet. This might pose a liability issue if previous customer leaves the hose on the ground...

Yes, the 3' extension comes with a clamp on one end

Looks like Dultmeier sells. 800-228-9666. I don't see a Part # for the nozzle to buy separately on their website or in their catalog.

According to KR, Mosmatics boom is 5'3" long (#BOM60311), including 3" mount plate. I have Diskin's boom, which is the same length. Today, I ordered Mosmatics 3' extension (BOMP60315). I'm hoping the longer boom will reduce some of the pulling & tension on the hose, and it will better clear...

We've been using Vacuum Hoses from Kleen-Rite (VAK45BL). It's not their brand. They told me their KR brand is made by Plastiflex.

I use a local printer for high-quality decals. I've thought about buying my own equipment, but there's are reasonably priced and don't fade. On average, decals are lasting around 3-4 years. I like to support local business & give them my business! 👍

Love it!! 👍
