    Had an idea.... What do you think

    I don't know if it has been tested and found not to kill it specifically, but I found a list of disinfectants that do kill it and OdoBan wasn't on it. It could be that it just hasn't been tested.

    You should be able to safely put out a cigarette in gasoline, but it's still dumb.

    Ryko Signature Series S.S Faceplate

    I've seen where someone took a Coleman door that has a similar large hole for a keypad selector, someone took two thin pieces of stainless with the edges chamfered, drilled a hole for a rotary switch in them, used the switch to hold them together and put a decal over it. Cost was practically...

    Advice on Razor Settings

    I don't know if there's official terminology, but in Belanger's Vector menu it's called purge time and fill time, which allowed you to blow the chemical out onto the car and time the start of the next "fill" cycle so as the arms start moving as the chemical has just begun spraying. You want to...

    Good Reclaim recommendation for SS Operation

    I've seen several SS washes that had reclaim. Only the high pressure soap function and weep could run off the reclaim. It takes a lot of soap to cut through the crap still in the reclaimed water, and it's difficult to get rid of the smell. Between the cost of the equipment and the high...

    How to Clean Tar from Bay?

    I had a nylon head caked in something like tar recently. WD-40 got most of it off, enough that it wouldn't come off on my white paint, but it still looked really bad. I didn't have time to change it, and after a couple days it looked fine.

    Crime and Covid-19

    I think they're protecting officers by not having them respond to "trivial" matters. Just before this got serious I called police because a homeless woman was sleeping in front of the changer. The officer asked me to tell her to leave. He really didn't want to get out of his car and confront...

    Poll: Do you play music at your car wash?

    I've considered putting up some good quality speakers, more for myself since I prefer to work late in the evening and I prefer classical music. I'll have to gauge customers' reactions to it.

    Adding Shade Canopies to Vacuum/Dry Off Area

    I've been meaning to look into the same thing, but I'd most likely do a frame and tarp canopy. A good tarp will last ten years or more, and should cost a lot less than a structure. Yes, they will hang out in the drying shed in summer, you just need a lot of spaces and vacuums. The upside is...

    Advice on Razor Settings

    That seems like a "fill time" issue. Is that adjustable?

    Fastest, best cleaning IBA?

    The Freestyler may look like an old design, but it's a lot more sophisticated in how it works to protect the cars and do a good wash coverage. I forgot about the Cube though, one guy I know replaced his Freestyler with a Cube and he loves it.

    Bank not taking coins

    I use Wells Fargo, and they have also closed their lobbies. They already had plans in place to let people in by appointment only for things like that. I got set up for night deposit for bills when I opened the account, so at least that hasn't changed.

    Cat 340 line vibration

    It's more likely to be an air leak. It can pull air through the low pressure seals - did they look new on the head you installed, or did you replace them? Is there any water dripping from between the head and crankcase?
