    CryptoPay vs. D.A.N.

    Not for me. Put it in 4 of 8 bays. After a year put it in the remaining 4. All in about $2700 at the time. Now I think it would be about $3150. Use same internet and First Data for tunnel CC.

    I use Low PH as the Pre Soak and in the water feed to all friction equipment. Use a less expensive foaming product for show. drying agent works better with the Low PH Product.

    One Challenge of a busy wash

    Tye seem to be mostly gone now but over the years aI have had a couple of customers wo seemed to complain every time they came in. This went on month after month after month. At first I could not help but wonder why they kept coming back. Then I realized complaining made them happy. Then of...

    Problem with JC Shampoo Vac

    FWIW I like the Coleman's too since they are relatively trouble free but when you need to work on them some stuff is a PITA to manipulate due to tight quarters. Yes Yes MJ that's quarters - No feedback about Dollar coins being better this time please!

    Problem with JC Shampoo Vac

    Please explain further. If you chisel the top off from the outside the bottom won't come up tru the whole because it hs the nut on it, or are you a saying you take the head apart then do this and remove the bottom portion and then pull the wires up thru the hole?

    Problem with JC Shampoo Vac

    Is the pump running? Is the air compressor running? I think mine clicks only when the button on the Brush head is pressed. You can follow those wires from wwhere they come out of the hose inside the machine and jum them there. Check the button. Check to make sure the tiny barbed fitting...

    Poor drying results in tunnel

    Warms my heart to know I am not a fuddy duddy. Took out all the dosing pumps when I took over a place. At first i thought it a really neat set up. After while I felt the good old hydrominders were less tempermental, easier to trouble shoot and as stated gave better mixing action. Never looked...

    Poor drying results in tunnel

    I see you use a freshwater rins before the DA. I have had some luck using a Dema Valve to suck some DA from the pail where DA is already diluted into the Fresh water rinse. This helps kill any soap residue so the DA application seems to work better.

    Foam Generator

    I don't believe foam Generators are neccessary in the SS. I let the air and liquid mix at the T above the Bay. As it travels down the hose it has plenty of tiome to mix and foiam before it exits at the foam brush head . (I use Erie 6 hole Brushes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlRMAQnwIPw

    Income producing Real estate is properly valued based on income, by apparaisers, Lenders, and investors, and apparently even the IRS. It may be a Walgreens, Post Office or Car Wash. Your opinion is that somehow car washes should be treated differently. America is a wonderful country...

    Noobie looking for advice on buying an existing car wash

    Well, here is the rub. You don't see the difference between the two and neither does the IRS. You considerate commercial property income non exchangeable "Goodwill" and they don't. It's the same for any income generating property. So in your view virtualy all income property that has...

    Noobie looking for advice on buying an existing car wash

    It is not false reporting if the IRS permits it. Again this "Goodwill" as you call it is a function of an income stream the property generates which has a direct bearing on it's value. . In your perspective it is somehow different than the income stream generated by a rental building...

    It is still correct. I may have been wrong about breaking open the piggy bank since most need the mortgage on the replacement to make up the difference I have never run into the situation. Instead, once the deal is done to get $ out they simply refi for an amunt greater than the original...
