Kimberly as my dad used to say after accomplishing something, Nobody thought I could do it, but I did it. Cards were stacked against you but you kept at it and made it a success.

Prisons were full so they sentenced me to life at a car wash.

I know for sure that many are not breaking even but the owners have deep pockets and can sustain them for a while.

It used to be a rule of thumb was 25000 people per tunnel and 10,000 people per IBA. My town of 70,000 has 10 express tunnels and another one in the planning stages, 10 IBAs.

Low fume Muratic acid from Home depot is under $10 a gallon. Mix with about 2 parts water. Apply it and let dwell for around a minute then light scrub and rinse. 2 gallons will typically do a automatic bay. I apply it with a soft brush.

I buy low fume Muratic acid at home depot and dilute it with 2 to 3 parts water. Apply it and let in sit for a couple of minutes and the scrubb and rinse. Real bad areas might take a couple of times but this method is cheap and not as dangerous as HF acid.

I had this happen and had to replace the whole machine. If you have good insurance you should have business interuption coverage. You should call your insurance and make them aware of the loss. They will deal with the other insurance company. I would go for new rather than a cobbled up machine...

I have been using the reject RO water for 25 years in the high pressure rinse cycle of my automatics. In reality you are probably putting a better grade of water in with your HP rinse water if you use the RO reject water this way.

$1300 per month for my wife and I with 4 visits each per year to doctor that is paid for. Prescription card with small copay for most things. We each have a 10K deductible. We are in our 60s and have had the plan several years with it inching up each year.

I have bought the Morton salt ones from Sams and they do a very good job for around $500 . At my Nevada house I put in a Whirlpool unit from Amazon that also has a carbon filter to get rid of smell and it works great also. Both units are metered so that is good for the flucuation in use...

I always asked kindly first a couple of times before I take it farther. I don't argue and then tell them I will call the police. I also tell them I would do the same for them if they were waiting and someone would not move.

Both of mine had no plates on their car and no temporary tags with illegal tint windows. I wish the police would have given them a ticket for those violation so it cost the something.

Need to add air to your mix. You should have a air line coming into your mix, make you you are getting air [ast the air solenoid.

Seems like the disrespect I am seeing at the washes is increasing. I generally let people dry and detail their after a SS wash for a period of time if there are open bays and it is not real busy. Yesterday after a person was in a bay for 45 minutes drying their car we started to get busy so I...

To clean a car with a touchless you rely more on the chemical and less on the actual machine. From that standpoint I think reliability is the key factor. I have been very pleased with my Rykos over the years and the radius is a good reliable unit for me. Petit is getting a lot of buzz here in...

I use door openers that are the gear box or european style door opener. I have very few problems with them compared to jackshaft style openers with belts. Clear poly doors with aluminum frames.

I buy the black micro fiber towels from KR. I use them as free drying towels for my automatic customers. They are a good quality towel that last a long time when they are not stolen. For vending I always buy the KR towels in the celophane packeage. Theay are a bit softer than the black bulk...

My town demographics are 70,000 people with 8 new express tunnels all less than 10 years old. I did not try to put in a mini tunnel and try to compete. I did try a monthly pass program using my wash card system and did not get enough users with it justify keeping it. I stayed all touchless and...

I bought a bunch of gate locks and attached them to the vac door so I can use a bigger lock. That stopped 99 percent of the breakins.
