champion centurion 2. or Fs curtis

ceramic on my razor top pkg only ;($22). triple foam, hot wax, ceramic. ceramic is last then rinse then blowers. love it. great results. complaints are few and far between. Over 50% of customers get top pkg. I layer on all the sauce; foam/wax/ceramic. At my high price, I like giving them...

Buy a very small sample of the wrap you intend to use and put it up in the bay to test how long it will last. I applied a vinyl car wrap to my Hamilton cashier A few years ago when I reloaded my automatic wash. The sides that face the car wash peeled pretty badly and I am already faced with...

I love these conversations about Chinese car wash machines; seriously??? Would you buy a chinese car if there were no dealer network to service it? IMO, the overall success of my car wash operation is due to the wash I purchased( Washworld Razor made in Depere, Wisconsin, USA) and the...

to know if your proposed car wash business will cover the note and all the expenses including your salary, you need to create three years of cash flow projections. You need to start with the daily traffic count and use a multiplier for your hopeful average of cars per day. In my business plan...

let's go back to the numbers for a minute. 17,000 cars per day. I used 3/10 of a percent for my capture rate in my business plan. That put you at 51 cars per day average. By the way it took me almost 20 years to reach my capture rate at my site and that is with a brand new razor that I installed...

That's exactly my set up and it seems to work well for me.

So what was the point of this original post anyway? If you're going to participate in an online forum for owners of car washes it's best to ask a more specific question if you actually want to start a discussion that is productive and meaningful. If not, maybe just scroll social media or play...

customers and non-customers alike abuse the trash cans so bad that it gets very disheartening for me. I have reduced my trash cans to 1 30 gallon at one of my two vacuum islands. This is the only way that I can keep my dumpster from being over full on a consistent basis, which incurs an extra...

Well if it's soap it's going to get the car cleaner and the customers do like the show and the scent so I don't really see the problem here.

I think most operators will agree that keeping the car wash clean and highly functioning with good amounts of product dispensed is the way to go. You can do improvements as money allows, which is what I have done. I definitely charge a premium price for my car wash. I am a dollar per minute with...

something like this

i use winter blend tri foam polish

I replaced an older touchfree machine with a Washworld Razor a few years ago. The razor has on overhead bridge design and mine rolls back and forth on a stainless cage. The difference is night and day. The new Razor changed my whole business. New technology is the main benefit, imo. The...

my wash is in a lower to middle class income area as well. I also have only friction machines as my competition and I charge 1618 20 22 and over 50% of the people buy the top wash. You can't always make these kind of assumptions about what people will or will not pay for. I think too many...

touchless cleans perfectly adequately for the vast majority of customers/cars, providing it is properly dialed in by your distributor.

.... and i believe Debra would agree it's:"with WHOM"

Most vehicles are free of accessories. Vehicles with accessories are such a small .%age that it is inconsequential in your decision, imo. differentiating yourself from your competitors is critical to success. yes, touchfree is higher cogs. you can offset that with a higher price. create...

I'll second that; everyone.
