    We just got graphene at our wash. How does it work?

    With any luck it will boost your bottom line. I really do not know how much attraction it holds for the general population or more importantly your customer base.

    Finally a credit card reader that accepts tap and chip cards

    IMO the LED 7 Timer provides all the information the credit card user would want. It displays a running count as well as total at the end.

    Lexus vs Car wash

    Check Owner Manual for that year make and model with instructions for using Automatic Car Washes. Many models these days instruct to fold mirrors. If it says that and Owner did not Fold I deny claim for any issue. Next watch cars go thru and if see if wrap shaft is too close to cover. Plus...

    I had Thomas and Gast that lasted for 10 years or more. Been using the harbor freight unit for several years. I do recall it was a PITA to try to adapt the fitting that wasn't typical 1/4"

    Dual conveyer belt reverse operation

    The system is like a moving sidewalk at an airport or an escalator. The equipment cannot make cars get closer together or further apart. You need to get cameras ASAP Too many variables - I have seen the following happen - Rear Car in Drive, Lead car in reverse., Lead car stops at exit etc.

    JE Adams Coin Deposit Air Machine "No Air Pressure"

    You can try a compressor from Harbor freight BUT. 1. Make sure it will fit cabinet. 2. Make sure it is "Oilless" 3. You can easily adapt any fittings to fit a 1/4" hose. I don't know how much use your until gets but if you think about it they only run for 4 minutes at a time...

    Closing on Sunday

    Thanks - got it. Notwithstanding someone choosing to follow their beliefs it is a false comparison.. 1. Chick Fil A for whatever reason, as a chain is #! in QSR sales per store. There is nothing to indicate any particular car wash location would do as well versus the competition. 2. The...

    Closing on Sunday

    Perhaps you could find some 7th day Adventists who want to work Sundays and take off Saturdays. Have you looked at other area locations (Or have someone else who does not observe the Sunday Sabbath do it for you) to see what volume they do on a nice Sunday? I wonder how you come to the...

    If it were your car wash... New owner

    Before considering major expenditures for structural changes I would consider. 1.Credit Card with Count up. 2. A second changer so you don't have to run there if one breaks down. 3. Make one bay a superbay. 3. Have timer set for both Grace and Bonus time.
