    Wow. Wash state is the place to be. In Chi town they are too busy dealing with little stuff like shootings and such.

    No minivans allowd!!

    I recall the FS days when we did on line vacuuming. Occasionaly a customer would complain about the poor vacuuming job. I would look at the car and occasionaly comment that the job required a shovel, not a vacuum.

    No minivans allowd!!

    Wow, there is a law against lack of common sense! Frankly, without prior written or verbal notice I not only think it's a winner for the criminal defense, but for a maliscious prosecution claim as well.

    Phase out or reduce perk on loyalty punch card....dilemma

    HAd issues with Coupon Book Sales. Got some counerfeits and some enterprising employees realized that if a book allowed a discount of retail they could buy the book and substitute the tickets for retail sales and pocket the spread. I now use a high security ticket with sequential...

    No minivans allowd!!

    Seen this type of post before. Are signs posted that these services are only for paying customers? Do you have to tell them first before you call the cops. Without either of those I would think you open yourself up for a maliscious prosecution case by trying to have someone arrested for using...

    Volvo sunroof crack

    Big, frickin surprise. For the mfgrs De Nile ain't a river. Toyota and Lexus denied issues with UA, Mfgrs also denied air bafg issues and on and on. Until NHTSA goes after thme or it hits the news there is a problem. A few years ago i had an issue with a Volvo sunroof exploding under the...

    Blower Angles Clockwise or Counter clockwise

    Not sure I understand the description. Are the ones "At the ends" toward the corners angled inward so they blow the water toward the center of the car? If so, I am guessing these are sset to perhaps hit the top corners of vans etc to do the top portion of the sides as well as top edges...

    New Vacuum Islands

    Putting the vac up on a pedestal whether at the front or in between serves to protect it. At the front will require longer hoses. You copuld use a similar frame to what Tommy has where each pay vac is at the head of the space lined up with the diividing line and a metal arch that allows...

    Kaady vs. Blend Co.

    FWIW I switched triple foam soap, Sealer Wax, Triple Foam Polish. and Pre Soak, to KR after learning about it on this forum. (No powders for me). 5 or so reps (Including one from one of the mfgrs referenced in the OP) tried to match price and performance on those items. None succeeded. Some...

    Dilution Ratios For Chemicals in Wash Tunnel

    A cople of posts show some fundamental issues with calculations. the ".02 oz" and the 5 second one. As a practical matter 5 seconds for a 15 foot car is 3 feet a second or a production speed of 360 CPH and without a steep downhill grade (which you don't want for other reasons) on a roller /...

    Dilution Ratios For Chemicals in Wash Tunnel

    It occurred to me That I may not have answered your question. Determine an average on time for your DA arch. I would suggest an average of 20 seconds. Why? 1 ft / sec is a pretty quick speed and equates to an perfect production speed of 180 CPH. We can get away with that in winter with...

    Dilution Ratios For Chemicals in Wash Tunnel

    I think Jon may be talking about actual production vs perfect production line speed. Works out the same as my post #25 . Standard car length with spacing = 20 feet. 10 feet / 15 sec = 20 feet / 30 seconds = 120CPH perfect production speed. 1ft / sec = 60 feet / min = 3 cars per minute...

    Dilution Ratios For Chemicals in Wash Tunnel

    1. .02 oz / vehicle? 2/100s of an ounce? 352,000 vehicles per 55 gallon drum? 2. I typicaly don't check oz per vehicle. Only tip size per product.
