Eh, I had one guy yesterday who drove through the dryers pretty quickly, then complained that they didn't work well enough. He wanted a free wash. My father-in-law, an ex-state trooper and my attendant, basically told him tough luck. I was a little dismayed but I have found that there are...

Anyone know what I am supposed to be paying for 55 gallons of Warsaw Chemicals 534 presoak? All these posts with people bashing distributors makes me wonder. Just making sure my distributor is not overcharging.

$25 = 3 hour a day attendant. I have 7 hour a day attendant who cleans, greets, sells coupons, etc. The women really like having and attendant. A decent attendant will pay for herself.

I am leaning toward the Washgear system. Anyone have anything bad to say about it before I buy it?

It is called financing. Most people have some sort of financing on their car wash. There are bunches of companies out there that will loan you money on a Lease/purchase deal if you have good enough credit and enough collateral. Some will even delay payments with good enough credit and enough...

LOL, they are all in on the action.

I used some other kit that I got from Wolverine American. It only gets rid of the stacker and bill acceptor. It integrates with the Rowe Electronics. I love it and have converted my other changer. I think I had an error once in 3 months but I don't remember what it was.

534..........

What does it take to change over to dollar change at the ACW's? That sounds like a good idea, and should just be a programming issue.

I use different foamig soap for winter than summer. My machine actually has two foaming draws. It switches automatically between summer and winter formula. The winter formula contains methanol to keep from freezing.

DUR!!!!! Did I say low. I meant high. LOL. Like I said, I am a noob. My post makes a lot more sense if you inser low every place it says high.

If anyone cares, here is what I have been told directly from Washcard, Hamilton and Washgear. Washcard says: Washcard is about 33% more expensive than Hamilton when comparing apples to apples. Washcard charges transaction fees in addition to the credit card processor transaction fees...

Eh, some joker said my wash damaged his car. The wand did hit his car, but he had damage all the way around his car. The damage was in places such as under the bumper where no car wash parts could hit at my Laserwash 4000. He said that either I paid $2500 or he would turn it into his...

I use low two passes of low PH presoak. I use Warsaw chemicals presoak. It works really well. An article ran in the paper here last year that scared everyone away from acids. Apparently some washes use acid on the underbody spray. Unlike the first pass, it does not get neutralized by a...

OK, I am going to put credit card acceptors in my self serves. I have credit card acceptors on my automatics. My automatics are hamilton ACW 5's. Hamlton DAN My distributor is trying to sell me the Hamilton DAN. I have had several people tell me that the DAN reports all credit AND cash...

Yes, I am considering installing myself. Apparently the CC install involves very little. I have already run Cat-5 everywhere, so I am should be down to mounting and programming. I am trying to find out which CC systems are the best. I think I am down to the Hamilton DAN and the Washgear...

OK, here is what my Hamilton rep says. Hamilton vehemently denies reporting all transactions to a third party. They say that is not true. Several people had said that the DAN system records all transactions and reports them via a third party. Hamilton so far has had no comment on credit...

I love my pop machine. Yes, it uses some electricity, but the neighborhood kids buy them nonstop. At $.75 each and a cost of $.25 each, how can you not make money?

I am a noob. I only have 2 posts and cannot PM until I have 5 posts. Feel free to PM me.

I am considering getting the Washworld VS2 upgrade to the Washworld or Laserwash 4000. I have two Laserwash 4000's with floor treadles. I would love to get rid of the stupid treadles. My distributor wants to charge $16,000 plus installation. That seems kind of high. It does have new...
