    Razor vs Petit 360i

    The stacked pumps is an option. I did that to save floor space and am glad I did - between the cabinet, VFD cabinet, RO pump, etc it took up a lot of room. I was getting GREAT results with my old Radius using Blendco soaps. NEVER get customers complaining on quality. My top wash was 7:20...

    Rates on your loans

    "Hit" ? That's pretty much what they are. Unless you can get a SBA. I just closed on a MF and my rate was 3.62%

    Foam Brush test replacement

    I tried the same combo. 1st it was a PITA to keep the brass adapter from backing out of the brush head. I drilled screws to keep them in place. 2nd like MEP said, they were looking ragged after about 2 months. I went to a 4" Hog Daddy brush and they're still looking great ( installed last July)

    Tommy System In-Bay Rollover Question

    I'm curious as well to see one in the wild. I saw a new unattended Macneil mini tunnel in Denver recently and promptly paid for the top wash and went through it. I was thoroughly disappointed. From the poor cleaning job to the crappy drying I left not impressed at all.

    GPM in self serve

    True. Maybe I should switch to wine. It is after all 4pm in Italy now - i.e. people are drinking.

    Opinions needed on price increase

    I bought my wash in '15 and I've never increased prices and I assume they are the same prices as when the origano owners opened in 07/08. My IBA prices are 7/9/10/12 looking to go to 12 /14/15

    Payment system

    It integrates everything through the loyalty card. It's by far the best system for the SS market.

    NEW TOUCHLESS

    The best? Petit imho. More HP. More stainless. Faster. It'll cost probably 50% more than a Razor tho.

    Looking to buy my first wash

    Offer land value - demo costs of the building and you'll have a safe offer. They won't like it but they need to get their head into the place that their wash isn't worth what they paid for it nor what they're asking. I'd also budget installing an IBA in your business plan.

    Looking to buy my first wash

    At most. For me that would be a HARD PASS.
