Why? I see nothing but problems. Slows down all the other customer going into the bay. They have to wait longer just to wash the car. When I'm busy and I see customers vacuuming in front of the bays at my washes and no one in the bays washing I wonder how much money I lose out on when customer...

MEP001 that is a nice looking vac door. I like the way you notched the security bar around the coin drop, the fitted disk lock in front of the cash vault and the security bar around the disk lock on the side. Looks very secure. Looks like you have room for a cc swipe too.

Take your pick from KR. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/c-622-hose-guards.aspx I like the sprial guard.

Randy do you have any pictures before and after?

I had the same problem last year. It was a bad stop button on the credit card machine.

Nice pics. Did you get them from Electroswitch?

Do you charge for bug prep? If so and the customer did not buy the bug prep explain to them that the reason you charge for it is that it takes extra chemicals designed for just bug prepping and additional prep time to get the bugs off. Tell them that you will re-wash the vehicle for only the...

We all know the express wash concept of giving away FREE certain services helps wash volume. I find it funny though you preach the express wash concept with this comment. “Free” investment is vacuum system ($90K), mat machine ($5K) plus cost for towels (and laundry if not disposable), solution...

Another argument could be by using bug prep on all the cars that need it, by pleasing all the customers, your wash volume could rise exponentially therefore far exceeding your cost of goods, labor, the added $2.50 charge you might get, etc. Leading to even more happy customers and profits. We...

At that price I would look at using Extrutech panels for the walls and ceiling. I bet it would be less money and look great.

I changed over to 1/4" hose runs to the bays and 1/4" boom to gun (for customer convenience and less sound when hose hits the car) years ago. I'm thinking about changing back over to 3/8" hose runs from equipment room to bays. Right now I still have 1/4". I'm wondering if this is one reason I...

or next to the condoms?

" Later after she went to "her service guy" they were going to have to remove carpet to get to the light and they might scratch the trunk making the repair so they have to paint it." It seems to me her "service guy" already admitted he might damage the paint. Therefore by his admission he...

Did you take a picture of the damage at the time? I would take a picture of your disclaimer sign. Send (both) to her insurance company with a letter explaining that you showed the disclaimer sign and explained to your customer that you aren't responsible for this since the car is over 10 years...

BTW she commented that signs did not disclaim liability for tire pressure issues. (They do now). And how exactly did you word this on your disclaimer sign?

Earl thanks for the post. So your're still using your Hydrominders and Flo Jets, you did not buy his whole setup? I not sure but I thought he uses the Dosatron now? I've was down in Florida so I called Jim to look at some locations that have the Mr.Foamer with him but he was in Tampa installing...

Earl which tire shine do you use from Viper? Original, Ice, Perfect? Who many cars per drum? Any thoughts about the Durashine?

The lack of response seems to be your answer. I believe all the tire shine machines have thier own issues. We have motor city's for 5 years. IMO it has issues like all the rest of them - not getting truck/SUV tire coverage properly, sling, one side or the other decides to not put enough tire...

Jim I installed the new LED lights last week. What a difference. They look great

When I was down in Florida I saw 2 washes that covered the rear wiper and double taped them apprx. 3" apart. They told me it has helped a lot doing it this way verses one or the other ways.
