    Which model vacuum motor has the best performance

    Can't help but wonder: 1. A lot of Mfgrs fudge specs. It's only a question of how much; and 2. At the nozzle with all the restrictions up to that point is there a noticeable difference.

    Has anyone used a car wash consultant?

    FWIW I have used resources such as operators on this board, and the local association. Also attendance at early bird sessions at the ICA show and local shows. Can you do better with a "Consultant"? I am not sure what they could bring to the table compared to the decades of experience...

    Bonus / Grace Time

    There is a local guy who does it. Has signs saying $5.00 Bill 10 minutes, includes 2 minutes free. His start is $2.50 for 4 minutes. He also has signs explaining grace time, plus signs explaining everything else. Just wondering how much the customer base really pays attention to these signs.

    How Not To Use A Foam Brush

    You are joking but cops asked to see video of someone using my Shampoo and Vac at 2:00 am after murdering someone to clean the blood out. Since it was 100 + Feet from the camera, dark and non HD days you could not make out anything except the car pulling up to the vac and people getting out...

    Trash Dumpers Police say its OK

    I would ask if this what they require for murders , assaults and robberies caught on tape. I am sure not. There is no reason for a higher level of prove for an offense with lesser penalties. I would also call the local prosecutors office to inquire if this is what the cops should be telling...

Took me a while to slow the car as he thumped against the side while hanging from the headrest . Still no apparent ill effects,.

    Trash Dumpers Police say its OK

    Yesterday I see a guy dipping the Wobblehead into foam on the floor and using 2 hands to wash the car. I check to make sure the meter is not running and say to him. "What time is dinner at your house?" He says "Why". "I say because if you use my wash for free I am coming to your house to eat...

    Damage claims

    FWIW Biggest issue by far is side mirrors . Still it's about 1 in 8000 washes or so. A few years ago I reviewed about 40 repairs bills (4 Tunnels) for the year and saw 9 out of 10 were for cars over 10 years old. Some 12-14-16-18 years Old. So, I put up signs saying "Customer is responsible...
