    Most durable coin box decals of all

    Several years ago I had D & S make some decals for me that work/look great. I'm not sure they still do it but it/s worth a call to them.

    Stringers and gunfire - a fun way to spend the night

    You should have charged $ for that story. It was that good. Ever thought of TOKENS.

    How about microfiber towels from Sam's. 24 towels for qpprx. $10.50 comes out to around .47 each and they work great.

    Cleaning vacuum filter bags

    No I pick a day that is going to rain all day. That might not be a bad idea though. I keep the doors open while I do all the vacs and by the time I'm done thier starting to dry. I just close them up after I'm done and call it a day.

    Cleaning vacuum filter bags

    On a rainy day I'll leave the bags hanging in the vacs. Clean out the trash in the bottom and leave the doors open. I hook up an extension hose to my middle bay that can reach all my vacuums and take the gun off. I wash the bags in the vacs from the outside in to the bottom of the vacs. Then I...

    High Pressure stops then starts again...

    I too had the same problem last week. It was a bad plugin base that the relay plugs into. I replaced the base and the problem went away.

    Mud - My New Policy: Version 7.22

    How many times a week you seeing a shrink? What meds are you on? This is a drastic change in a very short time span for you. Being in the self serv business since 1977, I've gone through all the same crap and decided it just wasn't worth the aggravation fighting the mudders. A couple of years...

    Owned my wash for 15 months...

    I would buy a little tree multi vender from KR . They have a deal that pays for itself plus some for Feb. Pay back for me was quick and everyone I know seems to sell a lot of little trees. If the neighborhood is a little questionable I would look at a separate bill acceptor from Etowah in each...

    UFC 89: Red Baron vs. Mudders

    Years ago I saw a wash in the south that had built out 6 bays that could only a car could enter and 1 bay larger for oversize automobiles. Thought it was strange until the owner told me he rehabbed it that way to stop all the mudders. Might be something to think about.

    Self cleaning bays, is it possible?

    Better increase your insurance and be prepared to repair womens shoes. We get a lot of women with heels on their shoes. I would imagine that the heels would get caught in the grate and either break off or worst twist or break an ankle. How about customers complaining about dropping their...

    Broken Water Main. What am I forgetting?

    If it's cold there I would bring in all my lines to the equipment room. Blow out all other lines with air.

    What is the worst mess you have had to clean up?

    We had drywall, pvc, plumbing, sinks, tiolets, etc. all the way across the width of our bay and about six feet high the whole length. Someone must have rehabbed an apartment complex and decided we were the dump site. It took us three days and had to have our dumpster emptied three times before...

    coke machine at wash

    I would just buy a refr. machine with a security cage from Uncle Sam. That way you can buy your product from Sam's or Costco. Fill your machine with whatever you want plus sell auto accessories, candy bars, etc. My customers love it. I even have seen on the cameras customers purchasing items...

    Thanks Jon I did not know that. I've had my first pair for over 5 yrs. and they still feel great but the sole is worn out and the thread is starting to break but I still can't get throw them out.

    Knocking during wash phase

    I agree with MEP001 but I also had a similiar problem that happened to be my fault. Years ago I had to use a galvanized fitting for a quick fix, because the local hardware store did not have a brass fitting, figuring I'd change it out later. Forgot all about it and it eventually it clogged...

    I've been using ECCO II #42 high boot for 5-6 yrs. Their gortex, waterproof, light and last a long time. Their not cheap but I love them. My feet and legs don't hurt or get tired with them. Just bought my second pair, this time I bought them on Ebay, much cheaper than Nordstroms...
