    How to test concentration of soap, wax, foam brush etc....?

    It would seem you could use a low tech solution. Put a few ounces of concentrate in a small container to suck into the hydrominder and put a bucket under the hydrominder to catch the dilution. Suck till gone and see what total volume is in small bucket. That would be the actual dilution for...

    Flash Drying

    I think the longer the drip space the less the issue vis a vis motors sucking in moisture . I was referring more to the Flash Dry where the nozzle is 3-4 Feet from the rinse arch which would put the cooling fan suction end of the motor about 2 feet from the rinse. My Drip space is as short as...

    Insurance headaches

    Often you can do the same with lost income by choosing a 30-60-90 day exclusion period. If you are out of business for less than the exclusion period they don't pay or if it's longer they don't pay for that period which reduces the premiums since apparently many out of business conditions can...

    2017 Car Wash Camera Stories

    In the last year or so had about 6 people get their wipers damaged swearing up, down and sideways the wipers were off... until I told them and e-mailed videos showing wipers were on. Still, some claimed they were off. Apparently they were unaware they had rain sensing wipers.

    Flash Drying

    I see the intake faces the exit of the wash. Makes perfect sense. Makes for less moisture to get sucked into the blower. I always wondered why so many washes, including mine have the intake facing the entrance??
