I use Sam's Club 100% cashless gas pumps but then they probably tap into the large amounts of money from the 20+% interest rates charged to the customers who carry their balance. I could be wrong but I think it is Sam's Club own card that includes membership fees & they are under contract with...

2Biz, Greg, & others You may want to switch to a different regulator. It seems like some of the other brands have all stainless steel internals so they tend to never go bad. Correct me if I am wrong. mike ... all new www.kingkoin.com

2Biz, Not sure if this helps but I remember one time I had a regulator on the shelf as a standby part for a bit too long & the internals would not move properly when we needed it. Just spraying downward in it some Tri Flo ... if I remember right ... loosened up so it worked & working ever...

We are debating on adding some kind of upholstery-shampoo-fragrance by our combo air-vac which is located so it gets more sunlight & is adjacent to "the warm air inside" building. Since we have a hell of a lot more cold temperatures here in North Dakota than the more southern car washes we are...

I think we paid a bit extra for the "red, white & blue with stars" decals from Kleen-Rite for our four stainless steel vacuums. They seem to be working out better than the previous two duller decals we had before. The decals kind of blend in nicely with our newly painted "Heaven Blue" color of...

We do give extra bonus time on our laundromat clothes dryers & our car wash vacuums ... for the customers choosing to use dollar coins which customers can easily get from either of our two large Standard 4 Hopper ChangeMakers. That helps to change the customer's mindset from quarters more to...

Chaz, bert79 & others, IMHO, I really believe that the USA public needs to be more vigilant when it comes to "games playing" by conflict of interest financial institutions such as banks & the banker controlled Federal Reserve. Two former US Mint directors from both parties have repeatedly...

On some equipment in our laundromat we went with tool-less & vibration proof style of PhoenixContact Terminals. I wonder if that could be a worthwhile extra for the manufacturers to provide in the car wash industry. Maybe they already do. Nothing should stop us from using some of those...

Here goes Debra ... on the positive side ... If I had a nickel every time a customer __"Hi Mike" ("Good Mornings & Good Afternoons" add up too!)_____. I would be rich.

Earl, When I heard of processors not even willing to look at time date stamped video footage when it came to unfair charge-backs within some laundromats ... it was a real eye opener to their "form over substance" mindset. If cash becomes no longer a lever as an option besides just processor...

Not sure if anyone will agree with me ... but those of us with tandem bays with lots of regulars who are conditioned to driving forward to free up the bay for a waiting car behind them see too high of a minimum as a detriment. An operator with tandem bays & who specifically observes &...

Greg & Mac, To be honest, I really am not familiar with self service triple foam to say too much about it. Are you guys talking about the triple foam soap or the triple foam wax? Or are they one & the same. Not unusual for me but ... it is possible I am somewhat confused when it comes to the...

Mac, That was my hunch that in some areas the Tri-Foam feature would "turn off" a lot of customers as it being perceived just as a tease-advertising gimmick. Sorry for all the typos in my last post.

One of the "out of state" storm chaser companies approached me about 2 years ago on a large residential roof. He was extra friendly & explained what I already knew that if I wanted to switch companies ... most of them will not insure as long as the "interlocking" style is on the roof. I...

We are using KR's Cherry Blossom Foam Brush Concentrate. The dilution is 600-900:1. It is used with a self service simple Flojet & solenoid system. A local supplier has Tri-Foam Soap with various colors that is 120:1 dilution. It is specifically for automatic car wash stated on its label...

Haines & others, MEP001 is correct in his approach to rotary switch wiring. I will say that our recent reliable experience with menu style buttons with GinSan makes the cutting out of the hi pressure pump motor also a non issue & somewhat moot. I guess the key is if those types of "more...

Based on the logo being so similar ... I am thinking CB is the same company. So has anyone had any experiences with CB that you mention? Thanks for any potentially helpful info &/or link. With just crude searches I seem to be coming up empty when it comes to CB or it comes up as cbcheminc.com...

A local shop that does detailing said they changed their mind about being an "all car washes' " chemical distributor for the below company located in the Houston, TX area. Below is a link to their pretty skimpy "at this point in time" website...

"time is of the essence situation"???

I wonder if there is any way of knowing if either the expensive motor or the less cost motors will ever be discontinued because the OEMs decide they don't sell enough of them? Kind of a negative thought but it seems it is something to consider on your choice. If they are all motors made by...
