    Blendco supersat set up?

    You should let the rep set up your Blendco system. Assuming you're under contract with Blendco and didn't inherit the hardware from a previous owner or acquire it through some other means, they will require you to use all Blendco products or they will revoke your contract and remove their...

    Anyone taking advantage of the coin shortage to raise prices?

    I've lost count of how many times someone told me the car wash is a public place and they can do whatever they want, and I can't ask them to leave.

    Anyone taking advantage of the coin shortage to raise prices?

    I would call it theft of service, same as driving in, dumping trash and not spending money. Just because a few fast food bags and mail doesn't ultimately cost me anything if just one person does it, it's still against what the trash cans are provided for. Same as the changer, we've spent...

    Recourse

    You can bet the guy doesn't have a "No mud dumping" sign in his driveway, so surely it's okay.

    Recourse

    I like jack954's sign. The "ETC." at the end lets you include anything you want, and the fine posted should let you come after the bozo. I've been told a number of stories about posting a sign on private property that includes a fine, and the police or sheriff's office going after someone for...

    Do you ask your customers....

    I put up a sign copy/pasted from the city order. A couple times I've said something to a NON-customer abusing the changer who crowded a paying customer, other than that I have no plans to say anything to anyone about it. Per Order of the Mayor: FACE MASKS REQUIRED WHILE ON THE PREMISES...

    What size cam lock...

    It does look like 1/2", but you can probably order standard 5/8" and either reuse your offset cam and just flip it over or order flat cams.

    I intend to raise my self serve prices this year....

    Same here, I get reviews online that say they like the price, but I see people drive in, look at the startup price and leave. I don't know where they're going, I'm the lowest price within 10 miles, and the one nearby who is the same price gives less time per coin.

    Flex wands and flex holders?

    FWIW I use standard 18" wands but I keep a few 20" so if the discharge fitting gets broken I screw the 20" wand straight into the gun. It saves me about $5 over replacing the discharge fitting and it ends up a little bit stronger.

    Stud size...

    Coin acceptor studs are #6/32 TPI, any bigger and you'd have to drill out the hole in the acceptor. Dixmor LED7 timers fit best on #8/32 studs, then you can use a nut with a 1/4" hex and actually get a nut driver over it.

    I intend to raise my self serve prices this year....

    Not planning to increase SS bay prices because I feel I'm at the right price/time for my clientele. I do need to increase vac prices though.

    Flex wands and flex holders?

    Some of the spring holders are junk - the spring relaxes and the holder sags at 45 degrees from the wall. D&S makes really good ones, just make sure there's a rubber bumper around the top so it doesn't beat the wall up. I have no trouble with rigid wands and holders, but I have them pointed...

    improving the Wash Bay at my shop

    There are injectors that work at 3000 PSI, but all injectors cost some of your pressure. The gun Mike showed uses a bottle at the gun to inject soap. It will cause the same loss of pressure.

    Thoughts on other chemicals??

    AP Formulators has some good products too. They also have a tire cleaner that actually works, something most can't seem to do.
