Does it have wood or metal ceiling joists?

Wash Card is probably the leader in this area. I have one of their original systems in use for 25 years. They now offer it with credit cards etc and link your various sites together.

Regal theaters just announced a new plan offering unlimited movies watching at their theaters for $18 per month. No blackouts and includes all movies as many times as you want. It seems like they following the car wash industry. I guess they want the guaranteed money every month, time will tell...

I have 3 washes in the same town and my son is now working for me. We usually come in around 6:30 am and stay on duty until around 4 pm. We each do this 5 days a week with a couple of days we are by ourselves. We may not always be on site but are working through the day or traveling between...

I just tell them that my wife has restricted me to only working 70 hours per week. Then I watch their faces go into shock as they contemplate how much more I work than them.

I have always used Hard water for the HP rinse.

I ordered some custom decals with 2 line message for $4.65 each shipped on amazon including shipping.

Mac, by the end of this year there will be 7 express tunnels for our town of 60,000 and another one starting construction. I can't see a reason to add a mini tunnel to try to compete with them. One thing that really stuck out to me in the survey is that they allocate almost $5,000 per month for...

I was just using the SBA web site current rate. I am not looking to build one at all but just wanted to run the numbers as presented by Auto Laundry News.

The report said average land cost was just over 1 million. The funny thing about all the 100 foot plus tunnels in my area is that they only out out 45 cars per hour on their busiest days.

I have had the best luck with Giant stainless steel myself.

I am always skeptical of manufactures numbers myself but most people only see their projections. I think you should look at several views. At almost 60 I don't think I want a 20 year loan. From what I am seeing around me 5.5 million is more the norm now. That is what the most recent one close to...

I just read the Auto Laundry News yearly survey of exterior washes. I summarized the info for Express Exteriors to come up with the following numbers. A. The average cost to build a new express in the last year was $5,154,000.00 B. The average overhead without rent is 41.6 % if you can get...

Pat, was this at the wash or your home?

Yes I am using the all systems from kleenrite.

I have been using the polymer presoak from kleenrite in my SS bays for a couple of months and it seems no better than what I was using before and has a higher cost.

I also use the 1/4 inch hose with 3/8s fittings. You can notice a small difference in bay pressure between 1/4 and 3/8 but it is small. The heavier 3/8 hoses tend to weather crack quicker around the gun due to more weight.

My car wash is in the NOrthwest and the first 6 months of the year were high precipitation but the last month has been almost perfect.

Last June was a perfect weather month and maybe my best June ever for SS sales. Summer was a Little slow to come this year but sales broke out very good the last 2 weeks. Since I had a price raise since last June the profits were up overall.

All I have ever used is coiled foamy brush hoses and have had very few problems. I hate straight hoses on the foamy brush as they slap the car a lot more IMO than the coiled hose. Be sure to get the hoses with swivels on each end and you will have few problems with them tangling. Plus coil hoses...
