The car wash business is much too demanding to operate with no real estate component in place. I would not be motivated without knowing that I am paying off the real estate each month.

I like the sense of humor in the signs too. It's too bad that people blatantly ignore the signs and do what they want anyway, but at least you have a sign to Point to when they give you a blank stare as you are correcting them and their bad behavior. I'm going to take a new approach with my...

My distributors set my wash up to apply the ceramic last. Seems to work great.

autowash Maintenance has been a joy to work with. Their technicians are wonderful and their service department is very responsive. I left a message on their voicemail yesterday and by 9 AM I had a return call today! It's really refreshing to find a company like Autowash because you can tell...

it's called select plus. it's hi ph. no idea what tip. my distributor set it up. set it and forget it!

I used to use a powdered presoak but I went through it way too fast and I was mixing constantly it seemed. Once I got my new razor I switched to high pH liquid concentrate that my distributor sells. It works great and I wouldn't change a thing.

fine for me

Contact the manufacturers of the machines you're interested in and they should have that information.

The fact that you are inquiring about reclaim for this type of car wash indicates that you have a lot more research to do on your own. I am sure that reclaim is possible but not necessarily feasible. You have to look at this from a cost standpoint as well as effectiveness. The fact that your...

whether you buy new or used you will still need a lot of the same expensive things like wiring and plumbing and construction work. None of these things are going to decrease because you bought a used machine. I Vote for a new machine with new technology and a warranty and factory support and the...

you have to start with the end number of your total budget and then create cash flow projections for the new bay with your new pricing and see how it pencils out. I insulated myself from the big monthly payment by refinancing at a time when interest rates were low so that my monthly payment is...

Buy a brand new razor for several reasons. Increase throughput, broad customer appeal, reliability, factory support, excellent user interface, well thought out design

It sounds pretty aggressive on the video. I wonder how loud it is inside the actual car.

I grew to like a problem like this on my old automatic because it was obvious what needs to be fixed, I kept the parts in stock, and it was an easy quick repair.

how do you renovate a wash, spend all that money, and only charge $.50? My self-serve bays are three dollars to start for three minutes and 15 seconds. I get very few complaints. You said you are in an expensive area so why not raise it to a two or three dollar start? I think if more operators...

it's not really as much about wash counts. I think what matters is repair costs, downtime, wash quality and throughput.

I just spent a half hour on the phone opting out of this unnecessary fee. I would like to know if there are any other fees that I can opt out of, but I didn't feel like spending another chunk of time on the phone today to figure it out. Maybe there are forum members who have already looked...

UPDATE: I saw this thread pop up and realized I never updated it with my repairs. The problem was the improper connection made by the plumber I hired. They used Fernco Couplings to connect the pipes to the 2 Liberty Grinder Pumps. The couplings failed immediately, and because I did not fully...

When I created my pro forma years ago, it had a best case worst case and a hopeful average scenario.I would get all that completed before you start worrying too much about bankruptcy.

please explain why you feel the need to grease more than the recommended interval of 10,000 cycles on the WashWorld machine. In my opinion the reason that the new cars don't have grease fittings is due to planned obsolescence. When you manually grease things they last longer.
