    Weep System Cuasing Overflow

    I use these and I've very rarely had one fail even when they get gunked up they still seem to work somehow. I've had a few bad blue foot valves but only probably half a dozen in almost 20 years.

    Armor All Ceramic Sealant

    I would take it off line and try another product. Get your rep to send you something different that's not going to chalk the cars up. I can't imagine a sales rep not taking care of this for you!

    Wax spill

    Put a chunk of ice on it and let it sit for a while and then chip it off with some thing that won't scratch the plastic

    How To Design A Good Website

    I think you're asking the customer to do too much reading on your website. I would put a lot of pictures a bunch of before and Afters and some basic pricing. You're not trying to fully educate the customer on the specifics of detailing ; if they found your website they already know they want or...

    Exit plans…?!

    I would begin with the end in mind, determining my own goals and needs for monthly income upon transfer of the business. I would work backwards from there, plugging in the numbers like cap rate, g.i.m. for the sale figure of the complete business and see if my 'needs' and goals are in-line with...

    Razor no longer communicating with door

    I understand the logic of drilling a drain hole but maybe put a long tube on it to keep water from entering via that hole. That's why I much prefer Macgyvering the electrical boxes in the bay using poly plastic, cable ties and tape. Just a bit of extra protection to keep the splashes off the...

    Questions about slab heat

    I had a boiler issue this year with my Raypak ( for hot water production) not heating up the water very fast. The flue pipe would get warm, not hot. The problem was a very dirty heat exchanger. Once the heat exchanger was thoroughly cleaned, the boiler worked perfectly and heated the water...

    Equipment Room Heater

    I found this in a dumpster. I set it up next to my er desk and it keeps me warm. I have another in my tool room~ also a dumpster find. Between these and my Raypaks, the er stays warm. I have a small electric ceiling mount heater made by comfort zone but only turn it on when outside temps go...

    Razor no longer communicating with door

    As soon as my car wash installation was complete I went around to all the electrical boxes in the bay and wrapped them with poly plastic. Looks kind of trashy but the goal is to keep things running and dry and I have enough experience to know that extra waterproofing is worth it.

    Ceramic when???

    I think you should do the spot free rinse last before the blowers

    Rinse normal, soap and wax selection causes loss of pressure

    Whenever this happens to my system it's because the screen is dirty in the soap and wax tank

    Presoak dwell time

    I leave mine the same all year too. I have an extra presoak pass on my top package. In the winter I use a salt neutralizer as the extra pre-soak. The rest of the year it's bug remover.

    Ceramic when???

    I do not use spot free rinse. No need. Last rinse after ceramic is conserve pass. I mentioned earlier that there was no rinse after ceramic but that was incorrect; it's a conserve pass rinse. I use Autowash Maintenance ceramic sealer. Red tip; 102:1

    Ceramic when???

    My ceramic is last before blowers. Conserve pass rinse after it. Cars look amazing this way. Autowash maintenance set it up like this and customers love it. Wash time for top pkg is 5 minutes; $22.

    when you install an automatic car wash, there are a few factors that can lead to success or failure of the project. Things like build quality, installation expertise, good distributor support, parts availability, and factory support all matter a great deal. These are the things That may or may...

    What do I need to know?

    I think a good idea for someone like you is to get a part-time job working at a car wash. It's a great way to become familiar with the operation of the business as well as all the equipment and customers. And you'll get paid! It's expensive to buy a car wash. If you're not sure about the kind...
