    Air logic or Air shammee

    I was thinking a potential con to installing in the bay is more stuff to clean that is attached to the walls? I have PVC and I get built up scum all the way to and including the ceiling and cleaning around wand holders, brushes, and bay timers is a PITA and this will be another item to clean...

    Discounts Based on Payment Methods

    I often use that as my argument defending the troubles with accepting cash. By now my sites are only about 12% cash. My bigger issue and concern is going away from a physical monetary system and inviting the .gov even further into our lives.

    Saw from quest?

    I tried some and wasn't impressed at all. Maybe I didn't use enough or let it dwell enough but it most certainly isn't as effective as Klein Wall

    55 Gal Container mover

    I move them by hand on the edge. Took some practice but it's pretty effortless. You could also try some 2' sections of 2" or 3" PVC to roll the drum on?

    Do You Post Political Signs?

    At my washes heck no, but I let them post at all my mental properties. My ex was an elected politician and I wouldn't even put up one of her signs. lol I see too many bumperstickers of the opposite party on cars to alienate them. I'll gladly take their money and use it to promote my ideals...

    carwashconsignment.com BEWARE!

    I sold 2 IBA's and a few paystations. First one they sent a small Sprinter van for a touches IBA. They got it right on the second attempt and the subsequent sales were pretty seamless. Can't complain. They connected me with buyers and get the machines sold

    The Death Knell! Population 5300!!

    Is a recess coming? Is it time to get panicky?

    They're hiking interest rates to stamp down the rampant inflation. At this rate we'll end up like Zimbabwe. Back to car washing and gas prices. I'm actually surprised to see as many RV's on the road with the fuel prices what they are. My wash is busier than ever. I guess it'll take $7+ a...

    If you want to re do it on a budget I'd buy a nice used Wash Select II and a new Ryko SoftGloss or Radius. I wouldn't mess around with a used machine.
