    Your right, thats why i am never scared to raise prices(just not within 4 months). To be at a loss you would have to loose 1/2 your customers and the ones you loose are probably the ones you want to loose.

    Je adams vaccum hose

    Well the je adams vacs do not have the push in method. It is a threading method that have to be turned counterclockwise and its not am easy task. I really like the vacs but this is really annoying especially when you can only get like 2/3 vac threads in.

    Self Serve Triple Foam Gun

    Triple foam is very popular at my wash. I also use it myself and I stand behind this. It is a polish/conditioner for your car. When applied properly and "mitted" or brushed in the results are mind blowing compared to someone just spraying wax on their car.
