    Advice: Building a wash

    22,500 sf of land is what I really needed. That's about half of an acre. Where I am , that can be bought for about $5k in country, or $10k---$15k on the loop. I won't need a Civil engineer or contractor fee. My father-n-law is a builder/contractor & has built 5 carwashes. He thinks he can do...

    I haven't bought it yet. I got 3M for my bay doors, for $28 apiece, & I think it is the same material. May only hold up for a few years, but that is a great price!

    Best Pre-Soaks out there?

    SO, ZEP/Blue Coral/Armor All are all good, but higher than a Girraffe's A$$! Scotch Plaid is ok, as are Stinger (but good luck working w/ Stinger). Now, onto K-R: what Pre-Soaks are good & bad? How bout Purple Passion, Kleen Power, Simoniz Super-Soak, JBS Storm-Power(kinda pricey), etc...?

    Vacuum timers...?

    Would a TIKR540 do just as good as the paraPlate? I see they're half as much. Would the TIKR540, from k-R, be even better than a ParaPlate, if I added a Mercury relay to it?
