Went to dinner with my wife. When we left it was a snow storm. We decided to go by our wash to make sure the drip was working. In the 8th. bay was a van. Not washing. But ROCKING SIDE TO SIDE.. Started to get out of the car to tell them to go somewhere else but my wife (the brains in the...

Greg I believe it was the family of the guy that ”invented” and trademarked “HOT WAX” We actually did heat our “wax” to 105 degrees.

I agree but my thinking is it is the “New and Improved” that might sell it more than the wax I have now especially if no other self servs around me has it.

Axxlrod I’m sorry but I’m not sure what type of wash your using it on? I‘ve talked to my JBS rep about trying in one of my self servs but not sure about pulling the trigger because of cost.

I saw a 10 unit storage facility turned into 8 SMALL offices and 1 larger office. The person I had the meeting with has been there for 6 yrs. and loved it. Because of the size the rent was ideal for his purpose. He told me all the units had been rented out for at least the same time. Just a...

I’ve had problems getting online for at least 3 wks. Had to call in orders and they all told me they are having a lot of issues with customers getting online. Hope their telephones/people don’t go offline.

Just got our PPP checks today.

First of all your a car wash. You do not need the 4-5th. largest CPA firm. We use Quickbooks for our companies. It is connected to our CPA’s computers. So when we pay bills or make deposits and post them on our Quickbooks it goes directly to them. They file all tax forms monthly and yearly.

I like the Etowah bill acceptor box. Installed next to the coin/credit card acceptor. I think having 2 separate boxes makes all 3 paying options( coins, bills and credit cards)more visible to the customer. For me the $ bills box is used much more than the ones I have with the coin, bill...

That’s fantastic. How did you figure out how to get the Message out so the people knew you were going to do this? Any thoughts about doing it later on?

For the cost painting interior walls/ceilings are the way to go now. But check out http://www.epiplastics.com/car-wash-industry.html in the future. Walls, ceiling with LED lights and that wash will look like a million bucks. You can also check out Kleenrite for videos of how to install and to...

Try Cincinnati Insurance. I’ve had them for a long time and they’ve been great for me. I had a break in over 2 yrs. ago that was settled with no problems. This year we realized that the thief's stole our computer ( which the insurance covered) but the credit card sales had not batched out yet...

PORNHUB??

Great thought but how are you going to do it? Tunnels are one thing but Self Serves are open 24 hrs. per day. How do you define who’s who for a free wash? Are you going to be there asking people for I. D.- 6 ft. away all day? Hours per day? As I posted before I’m not a fan of $1+ Promo washes...

Think about this. Someone smarter than me sent this to me. “Wuhan to Shanghai = 839 km Wuhan to Beijing = 1,152 km Wuhan to Milan = 8,684 km Wuhan to NY = 12,033 km The Coronavirus started in Wuhan yet there is no effect of Coronavirus in nearby Beijing or Shanghai but many deaths in...

My family has been in the car wash business since the 50’s. In recent history I can only remember having had 4 times where our business was affected severly by events, I’m sure I’m missing a couple more. 1) Vietnam 2)The gas shortages in late 70/80’s 3) World Trade Center 4) NOW Politics...

Fold 6 gloves tightly together and put them a small ziplock bag. Squeeze all the air out of the bag and ziplock it. Fold the ziplock bag and use a rubber ban around it. I use the wider vending spaces to vend them. I cut a small section of the verbiage on the boxes out and taped it to the window...

I’ve been spraying down everything in the early morning and late afternoon. Since it’s not to busy (virus and weather)when a car pulls into the bay I will go to the bay, ask the customer to wait a minute and spray down the handles, hoses, matt holders and last the coin, bill and credit card...

I’ve been happy with the Suttner ST-1500 too
