    Weep Water

    My weep has always been cold. It works fine. Always has. My foam brush weeks foam. It has methanol in it. Nothing ever freezes except when the city breaks a main and turns my water off for 8 hours when it is 0F outside.

    Would you run a wash for $2000 a month?

    Is the bank paying your for maintaining the wash too? Is it a percentage of the net profit? Does the cost of funds factor into the net profit? Everyone counts their money a little differently. You need an agreement which clearly defines each party's obligations and what money each party will...

    Best Credit Card Acceptors? Pros and cons

    All that work and research and I picked a system...only to find out that only Hamilton DAN and Washcard systems work with my coin boxes. I have the Dilling Harris Millenium 2000 touch select boxes. They are really nice boxes with slots available for credit card systems. Washgear even says...

    I?m Back!!

    First off, of course you tell Uncle Sam. It is a tax deduction. There are sometimes credits for job creation also. Second, I pay my attendants $8 per hour. Working 8 hours a day, six days a week, that would amount to about $20k/year. However, on rainy days, they don't work. So, it...

    Strangest thing found in a vacuum

    For the first 6 months I owned my wash, I would find a pair of ladies underwear in my vacs every time I checked them. Usually there would be more than one pair. I also found some in the trash at least once a week. I no longer notice them in my trash. Maybe it was one customer who went elsewhere.

    Shut Down By Dallas Cowboys

    I believe that when the truck was moving, the eyes could not tell it was a "Cowboys" helmet. When it got cleaned up and the eyes could plainly see what it was, they refused to was any more. ;)
