    What interior dressing/protectant do you pros use.

    I think you make a valid point. I have always cut my water-based interior dressings with more water. The results are always quite shiny in my opinion. I understand your point about longevity and protection. however, I have never had a customer report to me a lack of longevity or a perceived lack...

    New Apartment Building Sign

    I installed this at one of my apartment buildings today. I've got a great sign guy who created the decals. I used the old sign that came with the building and repainted it with black oil based paint. The bracket was made my my local welding shop because I couldn't find anything I liked online.

    North Carolina Newbie with 8 bay SS

    I definitely agree that you should have some kind of contract in place stating the specific terms of the agreement. It should also be checked by an attorney for your own protection. Years ago I entered into a handshake deal which went bad. The other party reneged and I was left with nothing. I...

    Road Closure

    I wish you the best of luck. Not trying to be cynical but any time I have seen a bridge closed for repair it has been years not months that it has been closed.

    WSIl vs. GoldLine

    I really like the Hamilton Goldline. I've had mine for almost 20 years and it has been very reliable. There have been a few minor issues, but Hamilton tech support and/or Randy Nix have been able to help solve all problems. The unit has held up well. You can install a new faceplate and...

    Hamilton Goldline Announcement Question

    Happy Spring! When I updated my IBA pricing last year I went to : $16,18,20,22. However, my Goldline autocashier only announces price on $16-20. When a customer selects the $22, it only says: "you have selected ULTIMATE carwash". Does not prompt :" please deposit $22". Is there a reason...

    Biz Opp…!

    The problem with detailing as a business is that there are very low barriers to entry. This means you get under committed individuals who don't want to spend much money getting into the business and then they can get greedy with their prices and cutting corners. The right way to do detailing is...

    blower and furnace repair

    with the help of a good friend, my blowers and my furnace got fixed today! It was a lot to do on a Saturday, but we didn't even experience any downtime while the repairs were happening. The blower had a burnt wire on the contactor due to what we think was a loose connection and the furnace...

    Saw a great idea for ALL IBAs

    My partner in the used car business made the metal frame. I put the wood on and my sign guy did the rest. I made templates for him out of cardboard. I got the idea from a trade magazine.

    Saw a great idea for ALL IBAs

    I added this with my remodel when I installed my new razor. It also serves as a height restriction/hard stop that has saved my new machine from damage at least a few times already.

    Pdq recommended spare parts**

    is there a troubleshooting log for the equipment that you can look at? That would give you an idea of where to start building your inventory. I haven't gotten anything besides a couple of spare photo eyes for my new razor. For my old machine, I had every high-pressure hose for the machine...

    Arch rotates into vehicle- not measuring correctly

    It sounds like the rear sonar that measures the car on the first pass is not working properly.

    55 MPH 4 lane road

    I think the speed limit is too high. 55 means they go 70+. The road in front of my wash is 45 mph with only one lane in each direction. It's difficult sometimes for customers to pull in and out and I can't imagine them pulling in and out safely on a 55 mph road. For me that would be a dealbreaker.
