John, self service or tunnel? If self service how many bays at the location? Did you get the security option? I'm thinking of putting a large Shurvend unit with the soda and water option into my express tunnel in September. Do you vend much soda and water? I put in a vend master 6 yrs. ago in...

Born and raised in the car wash business. Started as a chain on / chain off kid when I was around 9-10 yrs. old. Moved up to the steam jenny gun at 12 moved up to driving cars off the line at 13. Now at 51 I'm still in it. Some days good and some days bad but over the years I wouldn't have...

MEP001 I'm sorry for asking but when I ran a search I didn't see anything specific about this system. I see their advs. in the back of the car wash magazines so I was just wondering.

I bought my camera system 6 yrs. ago from Digicapture and they've worked great. Twice I've had a problem with my computer, had nothing to do with the cameras. I had some computer guys come in and they couldn't fix it so I called Tommy at Digicapture for some help and he said to send the...

Is anyone using the Soo-Soft water system? Does it work and if so is it better than using a salt water softener?

I've had Washgear for several years and have had no problems with how the machines work. A couple of years ago my bank changed some coding, they said it had to be done because of fed. rule changes or something like that. They charged me $125 and told me that I had to have Washgear change the...

I get my s.s. flex wands from Kleen-Rite. The only problem I've had is once in a while in the winter and for whatever reason the gun freezes and blows the rubber in the flex wand.

Check the blue tab in the upper left hand corner of the forum page that says "click here". http://www.ginsan.com/products_squeegeit.html Just not sure if the customers would use them.

Has anybody installed that Squeege-It in their bays? Is it sturdy? The squeege roller I used outside the bays in the past just got beat up. If so are people using it?

I agree that the credit card customers spend more. But... When you start at a $1.00 everyone gets the benefit, cash or credit. The object of the thread is a summer special and how to increase a slow summer business.

Sequoia I changed over to $1.00 for 2 minutes at one of my washes a year ago. You are right that a few customers will do as you say but at my other wash, which I just raised from $1.50 for 4 minutes to $2 for 4 minutes 2 weeks ago, I also get customers that do that. If there is a difference in...

Why not just price the wash at $1.00 for 2 minutes. Same time per quarter as you have now but the customers might see it as a promotion.

Soapy any better luck with the Rain-X? I hadn't thought about switching over to Rain-X.

I've had tri gloss for 6 yrs. If I had the chance to do it over I would have installed dryers in each bay. The 3-5 gallon buckets last me almost one year. The people that do use it like it though. Getting the rest to use it is a challenge.

What kind of effect does chlorine have on cars? Foam in the soap, wax?

I'd cut the ends of the wire connection and redo. Maybe one of the ends went bad.

I try go run the temp. at 117 degrees at the tip for maximum cleaning without wasting gas. In the summer I can usually run the boiler at 117. In the winter around 130.

I did clean the tank but did not clean the lines. I'll do that and see what happens. My question is why in 30 yrs. am I now in the last few years having this problem.? I like the K.R. product and so does my customers but could there be a problem in the formulation. It seems more and more people...

rph9168 thanks for the suggestions. I'll ask them about that. What would I use the extra arch for? They did mention that the machine used high presure when putting the chemicals on. Can this be adjusted to low pressure with the Monsoon? They said that it didn't add that much to the chemical...

I put in some copper pipes (4-5") into the tanks but I'm still getting scum. My question is what chemicals brands is everyone using? When I used Arcadia chemicals in early 2000's I never had scum. Even before Arcadia (back in the 70's, 80's and 90's) I never remember having any scum with any...
