    EZ Liner Wall Panels

    Thanks for sharing. Never heard of them but I might have a project in the works where they'll want to cover bricks with PVC panels.

    Air Lift door parts?

    $1000 for 4 chains and adjusters and the clamps that hold them to the shafts. Crazy

    Turbulence in Main Tank causing Hydrominder problems

    This. I was having the same issues. I went to a pump/irrigation supply place and bought a heavy duty brass float valve with an oversize float and stonier road. No issues in 3+ years

    Do any of you guys have WashCard's Bay Station?

    Yes I do and I've been happy with them. I love the looks and features of the Bay Station. I'm just concerned about the long term support. I currently have Ryko Signature panels with the LCD/Keypad and the replacement "timers" ( the LCD/Keypad ) were like $900 but I think they've recently...

    New Washify Pay Station for IBA's

    I've heard nothing but good things about them from the tunnel guys elsewhere. I'm probably going to go with one to compliment my new Petit 360. I too have a WSII with WashCard and although I've been satisfied, it's time for an upgrade

    Dog Wash Chem Suppliers

    I've used Blendco exclusively from when I bought my wash. My distributor's prices are literally the same as KR. Customers like the product. I just make sure that the show is good but I'm not wasting product.

    Replacing working IBA's for new equipment, when does it make sense?

    What has been everyones experience who's replaced machines with increases, if any, in business? I've read as much as 20% increase with a new machine - Is that possible? I'm wanting the Petit. It's a $200K machine . I'm planning to increase my prices $2 across the board to make the payment...

    Day to day operation, time consumption, task list

    I have a 4/2 with a Dog Wash. I would say I usually spend about 2 hours day there. Sometimes more but I have my office there too and I manage my other investments from there. I also like hanging around the wash - cleaning and talking to my customers. I also am not a slave to it. I'll leave...

    Soda price in your vendor?

    I have a ton of soda and candy in my refrigerated AMS vender. I mark pretty much everything up 100%. Soda is $1.25. I sell more of that stuff than car care products. I get al the kids from the neighborhood riding their bikes up to the wash and dumping change in there.

    Would you build/invest right now?

    Yeah I hear ya man. Car sales is super competitive and like the oil changes ( many offer oil changes for 1+ year ), the washes are obviously an attempt to lure buyers.

    Would you build/invest right now?

    Out by my area more and more car dealerships are installing IBA's and offering some form of free washes. My friend owns a pretty large Toyota dealer and installed a Radius and offers fro washes for the first year. I also noticed the local Dodge dealer also installed a Radius.

    Fastest, best cleaning IBA?

    In fairness the machine quoted at $175K. The shipping and taxes made up the rest.

    Fastest, best cleaning IBA?

    I've been really wanting to replace both my IBA's for some time now, delayed slightly due to personal reasons but got a quote for a Petit 360 that came in a tic over $200K. Wow. I still really like it though and if I go up on my prices $2 ( Top wash would be $14 ), the numbers pen out. Whats...
