    Crap debit cards

    I must have the knack when people can't get their cards to work. I will take the card and wipe the mag stripe on my pants to clean it. The readers work when swiped in either direction and by trying it both ways I bet I get 90% of them to work.

    Bay lighting?

    I agree with Earl, plus if you look at his link and the cost it would be hard not to go with them.

    I posted a picture on Noob post back on JUly 21 of the G and G lights with 4 per bay and 2 per bay for reference.

    Bay lighting?

    I just installed the G and G led lights in some SS bays and some back lit awnings. This is not the cheapest way to go but they sure spread the light out nice. Kleenrite says 4 per bay on the $1200 per bay package but 2 per bay is plenty IMO. I think $600 per bay for a light with a 75,000 hour...

    Best long range wasp/hornet killer?

    I said borax and I should have said boric acid. I am enclosing a picture to clarify. Sorry for the confusion.

    Best long range wasp/hornet killer?

    Yes it works on both. Borax is very toxic to them and only takes a little. Lots of you tube videos on this. I have used it the last 3 years and it works great but it does take about 3 weeks to kill them all off.

    Asphalt shingle roof cleaning

    That usually means it is time to replace the roof. Cleaning it will just accelerate the need to replace.

    Best long range wasp/hornet killer?

    A great long term solution for any property is to get some Borax from a hardware store. Mix 1 TBL. spoon in a half gallon of apple juice. Pour this in several empty pop cans and put a small stick in the can that reaches the bottom and sticks out a couple of inches. The wasps and hornets will eat...

    Subject: Urgent! CryptoPay Tap Exploit - Free Washes & Missing Transactions

    I am getting ready to install cryptopay at one location. How long does it take to get verified if you don't have it start up instantly? My Wash Gear system usually only takes less than 5 seconds. I am replacing a Etowah Valley system since I have not been able to get timers or replacemnt boards...

    Vending Machines at car wash sites

    My vending is probably slower than most because I provide free microfiber drying towels at a towel station so I vend very few of the number 1 selling vending item.

    Has anyone used these Boartex brush heads?

    I tried the Boartex also five years and they quickly flattened out. I have switched over the Hog Daddy hair brushes after using Erie for years. I am happy with the Hog Daddys.

    Vending Machines at car wash sites

    Average vending in 2023 from the Auto Laundry news survey is $352 per month. I am not a big fan of vending but do it at 2 locations with glass front vendors and I would estimate around $300 per month at each site.

    New Build - is it really worth it?

    I would not build if it was over 1.5 million and would try to have at least 2 IBAs and 4 ss bays at that. Auto Laundry News does a yearly survey on SS washes. I would start there to build a pro forma off of their numbers.

    Total Cost Ground Up

    I agree with at least 1 million. That is why no one builds for just 1 automatic. You might as well have 2 IBAs and at least 4 SS bays to help spread the cost over multiple profit centers instead of just one.
