Even better. This is a why didn’t I think of that moment.

that will work. Thx. I’m gonna time people to see how long they use the water.

I'm doing some backwards math... How much water per car on a SS with a AOK system at 1200 psi? I read 38gls per car is average, but that sound high. Any ideas?

OK not every SS. I’m sure I missed yours.

Saturday I visited every SS in the Orlando area, and I was shocked at how neglected they were. Although still busy, but zero maintenance. is this due to a decline in SS or just owners getting slacked? my goal was to find any innovative ideas that I could incorporate. But nothing. I was...

One concern I have is a new development about 3-4 miles up the road. Around the SS is going up around 7000 houses. And up from that a large development including a large grocery store. Just looks like a nice spot for a full service tunnel.

Good points thx

Working on pics next week. BTW, I could not be more appreciative of all the comments. really helps in making my decision. As this is just a first step out of the corporate game.

I’ll go grab equipment pictures today.

Could be... he’s over 70 and getting out. Everything is hand written old school. Waiting for tax returns. What do you guys think a better estimate of expenses, not counting mortgage and insurance?

Good point. The first post was unfair. Thanks for the breakdown. That really helps. Looking at pump room tomorrow. Hopefully no surprises.

Thanks again for the feedback. I have watched and wanted this SS for 21 years, and now it’s available. I’ve sat countless Saturdays and weekdays watching and counting. I’ve talked to customers and got their opinion. I’ve gave free car washes to everyone I know, to get their experience...

That’s better. Thanks everyone. Looking forward to being part of the car washing community.
