Less people are willing to put in the work to run these washes.

Waxman, did you ever install the in line filter on the powder mix like I initially suggested. That will keep the solenoids from plugging and is easy to clean the filter when needed. I also use the MC liquid with the foaming side of the 2 part mix I use through a dual tip injector.

Waxman, you can check with Kleenrites chemical guy and he can lead you to a liquid of similar if that is what you are loking for. Why do you want to change what you know was working for you? It should work even better with your new equipment.

I tried to get in touch with AMS. I left a email with them and they got back to me 3 weeks later right after I ordered one from Friday valley.

I would probably still be in the tire business. Family business that I started working at when I was 14 in a recap plant and then all the other jobs after that. I do have a business degree but could never see myself being a banker with so many free hours.

I have a couple of the older large AMS vendors that SHurevend sold me about 20 years ago. I have had to replace a few boards lately on them and they just go out soon afterwards. I am biting the bullet and moving onto other vendors. I ordered a vendor from Etowah Valley and it should be here on...

I use tankless at one location and a high efficency HTP water heater and the other 2. Tankless have been fine but I like the HTP water heaters best.

My gas bills at 3 washes are around $100 per month April through October and around $600 for the winter months each. Water sewer and electricity is around $750 per month year round. 2 Iba each and 3 SS bays.

It will be a lot of work and glad you are finally getting to do it.

I have been using the smaller wheel wizard nylon brushes for a couple of decades for self prep brushes and never had a complaint. The smaller brushes help to discourage those who want to scrub the whole car down.

What I do with fleet vehicles is a issue a wash card with prepaid amounts on them. I tell them if your guys leave the bays the dirty I will clean up the mess and deduct what ever amount of time I have spent to clean up after them. They are better about cleaning the bays but when they don't I can...

One thing I have really noticed in this pandemic is the amount of people who are now living in their cars. Daily I get them pulling up and only cleaning all the trash out of their cars and driving off.

I do have no bucket washing signs up in all my bays and point them out to people.

I had a Taco wagon park on a laundry mat parking lot next to one of my washes. This place had only 5 parking spots to begin with. Naturally everyone parked on my lot all the time. The worst was every Saturday the police would come and park 8 cars or so on my lot and had no problem blocking off...

Have you priced out a system from Dultmeier sales. They always had good prices on them.

A top brush will need more speed than a side brush I think. As I recall side brushes rotate between 50 to 100 rpms but not sure of top brush on the units I have had.

I have had reviews for my wash from 2500 miles away. I am in Idaho and they were rating a wash in FLorida but used my name. I always respond in a positive way but do not really worry about them anymore.

You might be able to do a revenue share with the folks that sold the wash to you. They take care of all the equipment and give a % of total gross sales.

I had a winter where the ice built up on the walls 4 or 5 inches thick. Concrete block wall and the sheet eventually came off the wall in a big sheet when it warmed up a little. Of course there was a car in that bay and the ice sheet did about $1400 damage to the car. The next summer I installed...
