    Pit cleaning..

    I have a Ring-O-Matic clam machine as well as a Hand Clam for quick relief. I might but a new ROM I love it so much! I couldn't imagine anything else. I do my 6 pits in about 3 hours. Dump the mud into my drying pen. Dirt gets taken to the dumps.

    Carwash Closings

    Why don't you spray it down with a mild bleach solution along with spraying a little while the Vac is running? From what I read, bleach cuts through the fat layer of the virus faster than soap does.

    Carwash Closings

    Yesterday was ok. Our governor hasn't said anything other than making a statement stating if employees do not work closer than 6 feet from one another during any part of their work hours these businesses can remain open. With that said, I'm going to throttle the hours on my employees in...

    Buy 2nd location or renovate 1st wash...

    I'd wait for more waste to be laid to the economy and buy the 2nd location for cheap. This destruction of the economy will wipe out many washes. You might be able to score a new EE for cheap when those first few mortgage payments of $20K come in and they're washing 30 cars a day for a few months.

    Wash Card

    I have some of their swipers going on 10+ years. I haven't had any issues with their old single sided swipers nor their double sided ones. I will say they are expensive. But, they seem to be the only company that is innovating for the SS market. Their tech support has always been prompt and...

    How are you all doing?

    Anyone looking for an express - this could be the opportunity. This is going to get much worse before it gets better. Either everyone will contract it or hopefully we develop a successful vaccine that can be developed, tested, and produced in mass numbers and deployed.

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

    In my AO, it's exactly the opposite. The touchless sites, including mine, are lined up and the IBA frictions are 1/10 the toucless. Here, at least IMHO, if they want friction they'll go to the EE and get an unlimited pass and be in & out in 4 minutes.
