if you want to learn the business get a p/ t job at a car wash to see if you even like it. nothing better than otj training. if you are not willing to do that, you should invest elsewhere. apartment buildings maybe?

spots on a vehicle can be caused by an almost unlimited amount of possibilities. why not take it to a local detailer or even body shop? we don't know enough from your pics or description to be able to offer a solution other than 'try this or that' .

I don't use any scent in the mixture I make. I looked into it at one point but never did it. My triple foam polish and my wax have a nice scent and that's good enough in my opinion. The fact that my high-pressure soap and my Foamy brush actually have some cleaning power is what matters to me...

I use a mixture of Simoniz correct powder and Simoniz foam additive for my high-pressure soap and my foamy brush. It works well and also seems to clean very well.

The Canadian wildfires are creating visibly hazy skies and poor air quality here in New England. Is this likely to create more dirty cars? Is this a 'what goes up must come down' scenario, with ash and soot falling on vehicles and increasing our car wash business? Maybe I'm just looking for a...

I carefully cut away the short part of the clear sleeve and use a heat gun to heat up the long part. Once it gets a bit melty and soft I use gloves and push the clear sleeve up over the metal fitting. Done.

I'm more of a "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" kinda guy. To me, it doesn't get much better or simpler than the standard hydrominder/mixing tank /gravity fed system. It's been almost 20 years since mine were installed. Other than tightening a hose clamp or two, the hydrominders have...

i have no interest in any hf chemical for touchfree. its much too toxic and i think it's harmful to car paint long-term. i'll sacrifice a bit of cleaning to be safer and healthier. what's your health worth???

I think you need to keep it simple for the customer. Best wash on top. Best wash is most descriptive with clear benefit stating the most features. It makes zero sense to price at $19. The customer perceives this as $20 anyway, so why not get the extra buck? And also why not go even more...

YES. The Meguiars 40 as well as other vinyl dressings are great on stainless meter boxes, instruction signs and most all bay equipment.

Dryers are a must. I bought some used ones that work great. Customers love them and they get lots of use. They only consume electricity, so great ROI. Keep a nozzle or 2 as a spare, because they break when run over. Mine are mounted up high on bay walls; noise is not bad.

The way someone explained it to me was that you're not replying to the negative reviews in order to convert that particular customer back into a happy customer. You're doing it to inform and educate your potential customers who may be reading the reviews, both good and bad. I got dinged on a...

3 options $12/14/16 go for it i went higher than i thought i could/should. it is working out for me.

does anyone have any experience with a rollover polish machine? I'm wondering about the pros and cons, the maintenance required, things to consider when purchasing.The auto butler unit i'm Looking at is about $68,000 new and I have found them refurbished and in Nice looking condition for about...

I would add one more presoak pass and one more sealer wax like a rain repellent.

I have a mat brusher and an air machine that are ok but not huge revenue generators. It's not for everyone, but I also offer detailing services and sell used cars.

I respond to most reviews, both good and bad. It shows a level of accountability. It shows you care about your business and the customer. Alot of the negative reviews are annoying bs, BUT.... it gives you the opportunity to provide useful info and explain how your wash works. I think it's a...

I wouldn't buy these because I always want the customer to miss some of the dirt while vacuuming; more repeat business !

North-central Massachusetts a little over an hour west of Boston.

It sounds like one side has either a loose belt or a belt out of adjustment. I think there is a sequence for aligning and tightening these belts in the owners manual.
