Mine was mostly weather. October, November and December are my worst months. However, this November was a combination of a perfect storm. The economy and constant rain made for my WORST MONTH EVER! Hopefully this will be a record that stand for all time.

How would you then neutralize the acid after applying it??? How would you then neutralize the acid after applying it??? Wow, you are wanting to do exactly what has gotten a ton of bad press lately. All the washes in my area had signs up for 6 months that said "NO HFl acid used here" I think...

Yeah, I think the current setup for fragramatics, allows access only after opening the machine or if you like, leave the plate out and you can access it without removing the plate. I personally would not have it without the plate. My old fragramatics without vacs, have lock acess without...

Oh, OK, I was thinking Fragramatis. The cover on it has to be removed prior to accessing the disc lock.

OK, I am assuming that you are talking about the disc lock itself, not the cover. Remove the cover before attempting to open the lock. The only issue is that it may take 2 sets of hands. Any professional locksmith worth his salt can easily open a 99% of the disc locks.

I think that was helpful information. Hire a professional. Most things at my wash, I end up doing myself. Re-keying locks is not one of them. Also, those on here that do, won't tell an anonymous internet person how to break into car wash equipment.

The lessees hired me each time. Also, in most contracts I have seen the cell company usually pays about $900/month for a 100' x 100' square to lease. That is 4 times as big as the area your cell company is wanting to lease.

Free legal advice...The cell company will pay for your attorney too! I am an attorney in my spare time when not washing cars. I have negotiated several lease contracts involving cell towers. In each instance, the cell phone company paid my legal fees to represent the lessee.

Whatever, clearly we do business differently. The machine did malfunction. It is not supposed to hit cars. You say he steered toward a wall. I say he was steering away from the other wall. Was he outside any clearly defined boundaries in your wash? If so, what alerted him that he was...

Lets see, the mirror wasn't obviously broken in the video. The vehicle is a 2010 and you saw the arm hit it. Short of asking him if the mirror was already broken, how do you intend to find out?

Yes, of course I do. Kind of makes me wonder how I get something in there blocking the drain once every couple years, but c'est la vie.

I have one customer who does not use my wash because she does not get a receipt. I finally got her to use my wash a couple of times. She washes her car weekly.

I have used a homemade one. Kleenrite sells the same nozzle which you just put on a hose. The trick is getting big enough of a power washer with pulse. Most of the time, however, you need an auger. I tend to get skoal cans and soda cans stuck in my drain. The clog hog does not punch holes...

If you have a video of the arm knocking the mirror off his car, what is the problem?

Yeah, I forgot the guy in his late 50's with a pony tail the other day in his rusty mid-80's ford tempo that looked like it had never been washed. He was cussing up a storm. The SS hi pressure hose broke on the roof and the HP was LP. I offered to move him to another bay and put time on or...

Yeah, I don't run the ones off who complain, "I put $1 in SS #2 and it won't do anything". The sign clearly states $1.50 to start. I just help them with the sign.

In 4 years, I have discouraged or banned about 6 people. One guy was leaving approximately 100 lbs of stone dust per week in my SS bay. He usually spent $10 but, 100 lbs or more a week was excessive. Another was the lady that kept pulling into the automatic at about 15 mph and crashing into...

I find that people who are not smart enough to use a car wash typically cause more damage than money they spend. I watched a lady hit my guide rails, then back up, then floor it and hit my guide rails, then back up, then floor it and hit my guide rails, repeatedly! Each time, she actually...

I use rapidfax. It is $9.95/month. You also get a free 800 number with it for people to fax to. I have used it for 4 years.

I discourage people who are not smart enough to use a car wash from using mine. I usually make them mad enough that they do not return. I do not want customers who are not smart enough to use a car wash.
