    Things Just Got Real

    Phil said they are now installing the top bill recycler model (the type in ATMs) which is very pricey but should help with jams.

    Parking lot omelets!

    I thought the heat was applied after the pressure but I have not studied how they work. It's just hard to believe any pressure washer could hold up to those temperatures.

    Parking lot omelets!

    Can you buy just the heater portion to put on the output of a pressure washer? I have a decent pressure washer is why I'm asking. It should cost less and would be one less pump sitting around when I don't need heated water. It might be more of a project to move it around but everything has it's...

    Tandem Surfline Opinions

    Are you the one that said you were 10 years out for owning or building a wash? If so I would recommend reading lots of business and financing books. Get a job at a car wash as soon as possible. (Maybe you are the one that said you work for one currently) Getting into the weeds on machine model...

    Parking lot omelets!

    Renting one of those on Labor Day may have been next to impossible. It would be nice to own one of those and could have used one many times.

    Parking lot omelets!

    I'm not sure what that is. Are you referring to a heated pressure washer like a Hotsy?

    Parking lot omelets!

    I figured someone would say this. $200 might have been more appropriate but my wife thought that was too much. If we get paid I'll be very surprised based on previous history of invoicing for cleanup. I would love to see an invoice with a line item "Pain in the Ass Factor". 😂

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    What about the other 97% of people that want to throw away some trash in their way to vacuum? I like the idea of just raising prices to compensate. It is socialism. Everybody pays for a small percentage that use the service.

    Parking lot omelets!

    Yes they brought them. Mrs Our Town watched the footage but I did see they must have gotten them on their car and washed it and even pulled forward and washed them into the pit.

    Parking lot omelets!

    I did notice that after a while and started soaking the areas ahead.

    Parking lot omelets!

    I didn't try any chemicals but that stuff will eat the asphalt seal coating off the lot if not careful.

    Parking lot omelets!

    Okay, not omelets but we were egged! Three stupid jackasses threw I don't even know how many eggs all over our wash. Lot, vacs, walls etc... I'm guessing 36 eggs because there were two empty 18 packs laying on the lot. These things are really hard to remove after sitting in the sun for a few...

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    I have not but in the past I have made some from pop bottles. Strangely yesterday the yellow jackets flying in and around the dumpster were really down. There were maybe four or five compared to guessing thirty or more on previous days.

    Shutting off card reader

    We have signs right next to the swiper with simple instructions. We have the custom scrolling message on our Dixmor LED6 "Tap Flashing Button To Stop". These measures only work for people that have brains. We have explained in person so many times how it works and they still leave it running...

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    We have them really bad too and also don't remember having that many in previous years. It's really surprising I have not been stung yet.

    New to industry - 4 bay SS purchase

    And the risk we are incurring by owning this type of business. (or really any business) The rug can be pulled out from under us quickly with a new wash built across the street, a new highway bypass or other things.
