Yes but you need two devices so it consumes a larger footprint on meter box or you need to install a separate CC box to your meter box.

Rumor has it that Washworld is announcing something new soon. Anyone attend SW Carwash show and hear anything?

Yes access is an issue as the town did not allow them a new direct cut onto the road the last time I was there. I have no idea why they are selling, perhaps they want to cash out or there is some other reason. Always busy whenever I have driven past them (although I am not in that area often)...

One day someone will break the WP/CryptoPay monopoly with a system as easy to install as CryptoPay and in one device that swipes & taps. For now we are prisoners to WP. Fees are in the 4-5% so higher than in the marketplace but not worth worrying about until there is a viable alternative. You...

I know one person who just uses branded towels from KR and bakes the cost of towel replacement into their prices. Towels only last a short defined period of time so use them as advertising and to differentiate yourself from competition (for now).

Single IBA or larger you really need to do the numbers, cost of land, equipment, building, permits etc (realistically). Then figure out how many cars you need to wash per month at a guesstimate ave price. See if the cash flow model makes sense. Most likely it will not, but it depends on the...

check the assessed value to see if ask is close. Assessors know the land value better than most individuals. Banks want to move things off their books so you might be able to offer $400k depending on the assessed value. You probably will end up spending $100k to $200k more to get the place...

Depends on the season. In the Winter we use a Lo/Hi combination to deal with salt and brine. In the other seasons we use two passes of Hi pH. Two passes instead of one to increase dwell time.

Try adjusting the tip or chemical amount used. We find the recommended usage levels not as strong as necessary. We usually use 1-2 tip sizes larger to get the desired results. Chemical companies probably list the minimum amount needed so they can make some cost per car claim.

We have a tankless hot water system on our Razor's. Works well.

You need to go into the Program mode for the Dixmor to check all your settings. When this happened to us we had to re-input all the settings.

Too bad you are on the southern border of VA. Could always use some experienced help now and then for the larger projects.

We have two different people doing illegal trash dumping of household waste. Our state only has a rear plate and the offenders use something to obscure the plate from speed cameras. If PD would only enforce the law that makes obscuring a license plate a ticketed offense we would be able to...

I tried the 3M product Perfect It 06094. Worked much better for cleaning the lens than anything I have used! Appreciate the tip.

Perhaps as you are right about their approach. Most convenience/gas carwashes use the cheapest equipment possible which is good for many traditional operators. Only store that I have seen use top line equipment is Sheetz.

The WW machines are awesome. We started with a version 3 and now have just 4s but always a solid machine. As you replace parts from normal wear consider upgrading to stainless steel parts if available. Our latest machine has SS and you can see the difference since the presoak chemicals can be...

If the landlord is not fixing the building then no one will seriously look at at the place or they will lowball an offer (significantly). Get the landlord to fix the place or you will be hard pressed to sell for 1x NOI especially with visible structural issues. You will have a challenging time...

Thx for the reply. I swapped a 5 from another bay and it worked. Conclude that the cables matter and the 5 is gone bad. Maybe it is a wire or two difference but looking for a spare 5 if I have one around. Update. I spoke to Dixmor. The 5&6 are interchangeable without rewire. They will...

I know the Dixmor LED5 is discontinued. I have a LED7. Can I use the 7 with the current LED5 harness or do I need to rewire with a new harness? I know the white fitting fits as I tried a quick swap without joy. Wondering if I need to rewire or if I should be looking for another reason the...
