One of my locations sits next to a local Hardware store that I do a few hundred dollars a month business with. We have had a pretty good relationship through the years with the exception that they like to allow all the local charities to hold parking lot car wash sales in their lot. I have...

I now park in the bay with a vehicle. Last time I was cleaning pits with the tractor I had it blocked off with cones in the front and was exiting the back with the tractor bucket full of mud. A guy in a SUbaru waited until I had backed out and headed over to dump the mud in a trailer. He drove...

I am buying it from a local VOdka bottling plant that switched over and became certified by the FDA to produce it. I can order and drive 5 miles and pick it up for about $25 per gallon. So far I have used about 12 gallons at 3 washes since starting this. ONe thing I found for my own use it is...

I am using medical grade sanitizer in my dispensers and use it several times a day and my hands are not drying out.

I had mine made up locally

Randy, I always get the 20 wire bundle so I have spares and it is now at $2.30 a foot last I checked.

I though a hundred in straight 20s was bad for coin changer so I turned off the $20 function.

All the wash equipment I have put in SS bays has always specked 18 guage. Buy a full spool from Kleenrite with 16 or more wires.

Another problem that I am seeing with some of the washes that are just now being built is that they are running into long delays getting equipment. I have 2 express washes in my town that should have been open by now but that are still waiting for their equipment to show up.

Last month I paid the highest credit card fees ever. Business was good but I am seeing a increase in the overall percent of customers now using cards. Part of it may have been the so called coin shortage but a increase of over 15% usage in less than 6 months has to be credited to the COrona...

I have now added santizer stations at every SS bay, automatic bay and Vac island at my washes. I get the stainless ones from the Webrestaurant website that Greg mentioned early in this thread for under $20. No valdalism yet and people seemed to use them. Even if they didn't I do when every time...

What chemical is being carried in the tubing? Presoak? If it is a presoak hose do not replace it with a rubber automotive type of hose. These will leach out the chemical in the presoak and eventually clog up.

Yes Hog daddy are real hogs hair. No adapters needed for them. I had good luck with the plastic head synthetic bristle brushes overall. They did tend to smoosh like Greg P said but they cleaned well and were half the price of hogs hair. But you did have to modify them with a brass bushing to...

Metal heads with powder coated metal and they screw in just like the Erie foam brush heads with 1/2 inch threads.

I only use the spring wand holders. This time of year with all the travelers I see more snagged guns etc but the spring wand holders eliminate about 90% of the problems.

I just ordered a few of the new Hog Daddy foam brushes. Here is a picture of them next to a Erie Monster Hair. The darker brush is the hog daddy and it feels and looks like the brush material is much more dense on them. Cheaper than the Erie brushes also.

You could make the token worth a dollar off the next wash or for a vac. I get more bounce back use this way than I do for a free vac. They can only use 1 token per wash.

Our county just went to a mask ordinance. I personally am not a fan of the mask but a lot of business were shut down for too long. If I wear a mask and it helps businesses stay open I will wear a mask to help them more than anything else.

I always put the nozzle in some very hot water before installing the swivel nut. They go together much easier and seem to swivel longer.
