    Lighting questions

    Are you guys using canopy lights in your IBA's? Right now I have 4' fluorescent fixtures with LED bob conversions but the light output is low.

    Thoughts on raising prices to run off the bad customers?

    Thats where I'm at and where the wash has been at for at least 5 years ( I've owned it about 3). My nearest competition is $1/2min. His place is older and has less curb appeal. He still does a good business.

    rejuvenating plastic vacuum domes

    Maybe try getting a garbage pail big enough to hold them, and submerge them in that with hot water and RIT clothing die for a few hours? I used to use that stuff when I was a kid to die the abs plastic pieces on my radio control cars ETA...

    I've been thinking about the same. My first thought was some type of plastic paint - I've seen Rustolium plastic paint in Depot.

    When and how often do you do a total cleaning of your bays - SS/IBA/Tunnel?

    I know you were quoting MEP but I made a wide brush ( screwed two together on a 3rd head) with soft bristles. Hopefully it'll clean as well while not using as much chem. I'll see...

    When and how often do you do a total cleaning of your bays - SS/IBA/Tunnel?

    I'm talking ceiling to 'crete? I use KleenWall. I try to do it 1x year. Do you guys just shut the bay down while you clean it during the day, try to do it at night, wait for a rainy day? Just curious.

    epoxy concrete anchors

    I'd use only Hilti. I would just go anchor in your case as it'll be faster and hold the vac fine. I've seen epoxy anchors used to hold the brackets that hold precast facade panels on high rises, I've I'd venture to guess they'd hold a vac down. lol

    Vac Tank Decals

    I found the easiest method to taking the WSII decals off were to cut the decals vertically ( or horizontally ) about the with of the razor. Then using the razor in a scraper handle, peel the whole section off. These decals were 10 years old and came off fast that way, with no heat other than...

    Considering a F/T attendant - What are your thoughts/experiences?

    Ha, it could be. I'm considering it for a few reasons. I'd like to increase my IBA counts, and having someone there greeting and doing a light prep on cars would be nice. Then of course I'd like to have a constant oversight / eye of the place. Checking chems, checking systems, cleaning (...

    Considering a F/T attendant - What are your thoughts/experiences?

    I'm considering adding a attendant at my 4/2/Dog Wash from say 9-5 daily. I was just wondering how many of you have a F/T attendant versus someone who checks on the place 1,2,3 times a day? What have your experiences been - has it helped the business, not made much difference, etc? Thanks
