For what it’s worth, there are hundreds of car detailing chemical companies. Some products may be stand outs in one line or another, but generally speaking, if you go with a brand that has broad recognition, you probably won’t have terribly different results from one to another, as long as your...

Hard to see but the it looks like pepito mobile detailing is the name on the shirt. I’d just contact them and ask what they use.

Hi ShinePro - I only mentioned touchless because I think it is a way to differentiate IBA operators from the membership tunnels. I am thinking that some people simply do not like friction washes and that can help keep them clear from the tunnel membership plans. I recall reading other posts...

Glad you are seeing good success and loyalty despite the memberships. You’re probably also able to leverage the fact that you have a touchfree process, which is preferred by some customers. There will always be a segment of the market that demands the touchfree wash and no matter now many...

That works- I did $20/31 days. But they did say every 4 weeks 😂

Heck, that basic wash works out to 65 cents a day! 😂

If you have different price points and package plans, it would probably be best to sell either a touchless membership or a tunnel membership. Most customers are probably loyal to one or the other anyway.

Never heard of this either. If you can bring in any car, why do you even have to buy a membership? Only the original car will have the rfid sticker or proper license plate. How do they know there is a membership?

Wow - that was the icing on the cake!

I haven’t seen too many cloth machines quicker than the softgoss. It’s not the most modern and sleek design, but it can fly through cycles. I know they have some sort of kit or update for the back brushes to improve back end cleaning. Autec also can cleans car pretty quickly compared to...

Bases are generally a builder that you can use to formulate a variety of finished products. For example, you might use the same base to add various other surfactants and foaming agents to, to eventually make your presoak, tire cleaner, prep detergent, foamer etc. It is a common component of...

No you’re not - they look similar. I don’t know pricing but that Tandem can probably wash a bit faster with the dual bridge design.

I hear you. It’s almost like there is no differentiation of days any more. I realize there never were for many people - like my father who worked shifts, but I think it is even less common now for a weekend day to feel like a weekend for a lot of people.

The white looks nice and fresh.

Good set ups already leave virtually no water on the car. Some excess water drops on the car is fine - that is why many operators use a spot free rinse process, or at least have their water quality to the point where any residual water will not cause spotting.

The Tandem Surfline is a PDQ machine - not a Washworld Profile.

Everyone used to make a contouring dryer - that was the technology of the 1960’s - 1990’s, until the air cannon/touchless concept became mainstream. More efficient airflow and more producers at a lower hp along with better water break, drying agents and setting rinses removed the necessity to...

I’d never tell anyone what days they should or should not open- that is a personal decision and every proprietor has the right to do as they see fit. I’m sure you know what kind of volume you currently do on Sunday and also know that you cannot assume that every customer will find another day...

Thanks for sharing the photo.

Sounds like that area is ripe for and EE!
