This weekend go across the street and spend time watching the wash. Count the cars and type of cars entering the wash. Suvs, vans, pickups usually pay more at a full service wash. Look at the wash and see what is right and wrong with the wash that in a customer eyes that you notice. Also get...

Suds all of us in this forum have heard your cry for help many times from prospective want to be car wash owners over the years. Most of us have been in the car wash business for many many years. Some not so long such as Waxman. So you've come to the right place to get SOME answers. Do not take...

I agree with Earl.

I tried a salad spinner once. It worked pretty well but I could only spin less the $50 at a time because the weight was to heavy. It just took to long. Went back to the towel and electric dryer.

Maybe the hose is deteriorating either from the boom to the gun or to the equipment room. Do you have any other bays that are working at the proper pressure? If so why don't you hook the line from the equipment room to one of the bays that are not getting enough pressure.

Saw this on aol as a headline. http://www.stylelist.com/chris-barnes/repurposing-ideas-5-new-uses-vegetable-oil_b_1495961.html

Just an idea. This is a "CAR WASH" therefore if your not washing an "AUTOMOBILE" it is not ALLOWED. ALL PERSONS THAT ARE REPORTED or CAUGHT ON OUR VIDEO CAMERAS WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW! We will not tolerate _____,______,______,_____,_____,______,etc. We maintain a...

So true. I had to change my triple foam.

You can reduce nozzle size but I turned on my nozzles to the brushes and noticed that I had tremendous overlapping of spray. It was overkill. So took out the nozzles in the middle until I had overlapping spray just at the car surface. Ended up taking out 4 nozzles per brush and still had plenty...

Can you not by pass the wiring to the switch so you don't have to press the switch down? When activated wouldn't the handle just be on constant when the customer deposits money?

Yes. We haven't had any issues with it. We bought a few gallons from Sam's to try. Just work with the dilution ratios to get what you are looking for.

Try Simple Green. We put 1/2 gallon in a 2 gallon pump sprayer. Works good. For tough wheels 1 gal.

Hopefully their paying you for Business Interruption. If so you might remind the insurance agent that every delay is going to be costing them in the long run. Not all gen. contractors get the job done quickly or on time.

I have one wash that is a $1 for 2 minutes with Bonus Time of $5 for 14 minutes. I have another wash that is $2 for 4 minutes and no bonus time. The income is about the same at both washes. There is little difference in how many mulch, trash, or bucket washers at either wash. Those people are...

Then the cost at these cities are too expensive. Maybe the ICA should look into cities that are centrally located, generally easy to fly or drive to for most and really looking for conventions thereby willing to negotiate better terms for the exhibitors. The exhibitors cost would be much less...

Uncle Sam sent me 2 free passes to the Orlando show through his offer on this site. I had never seen any of his vendors. Wasn't planning on spending anything. Ended up buying his large refrigerated vendor. Guess what I even bought a complete tunnel of AVW equipment. They were not even on my...

Earl thanks to you you convinced me to open my tunnel. We too had a sunny day too. We opened at 9 and closed at 4. We would have stayed open longer but it really slowed down after 3.

Are tunnel will be closed. Self services will of course be open.

BigLeo I would figure how often your average customer comes into your wash per month and what you figure the average spent per customer. Add one wash/ave. money spent to figure out what you should charge for a monthly unlimited plan to that average customer. Example: if an average customer comes...

We sell about a case of the small cans of window spray cleaner from Car Wash Superstore every month or two. Also Ozium fragrance sell good.
