    Competing With Express Tunnel Wash

    Somewhere in this menagerie of topics I talked about demographics and economy. (but I cant remember where) Some IBA’s are going to do this and be very successful. Some most definitely will not. Big towns/lots of traffic- go for it Small towns/ same old Customers all living 5 minutes from your...

    Competing With Express Tunnel Wash

    My second location has a Goldline The scanner was added to it for app use. No problem! Below I have attached some screen shots of Customers usage. One of the downsides to putting out a super clean shiny car using all these new chemical products is that folks dont need to wash as often...

    Small wash for sale.

    I bought a wash with one of these in it. I gave it away in 6 months To explain - it was 20 yrs old (Had the original nozzles in it) So not overly well maintained I found a used Razor to replace it. Vehicle size limits and wash quality was not to my liking. And my utility bill is half what it...
