I think I would like to make the bug pass and salt pass a full extra pass on my top package. I think it's too much wear and tear on the gear boxes and motors to go from mirror to mirror and to me, simpler is better. I'm debating on whether to do the bug/salt application through the L or the...

well I guess I see where you're coming from. If you ran a nice wash for all those years you really don't want to see it go screeching downhill as soon as the ownership transfers. On the other hand if I were happy with the price I received I'm not sure I'd really care about how the business was...

I tried the RV sealant and didn't like the way it laid down. It was too hard to work with. I bought some ACE brand white 100% silicone bathroom caulk and it applies nicely. I have used the clear version of this in my bays and it lasts a long time and sticks well, too; I use it to adhere signs...

I'm about $1/minute SS. Central / Western MA. $3 start. $5 credit card.

I thought 'seasoned' operators just jammed the nozzle in the hose and go?

if the market pricing is leading you in the direction of $20 then why not go there? If self-serve customers are already spending on average over eight dollars per wash, why not price the automatic significantly higher? When I fill my pick up up with gas it's $80. When I buy food for five...

Drop the $8 wash. Think of driving the customer toward the $TOP$ package. Some people just buy the top no matter what. Given credit card usage, the price becomes less of a concern, due to the disconnect between plastic and the reality of spending the cash. I'm not sure how to price your...

here's a start...

I also have galvanized ducting running above my bays. I line the bottom with a rigid foam the hoses lay on top of that and the floor heat line runs through it as well. The top is open but I sandwich another rigid foam insulation on top of the hoses. Works great

I like the features on this system. https://www.carwashcameras.com/8-camera-car-wash-package-self-serve-automatic/ The cable is included as is a tool kit to install the system. Does anyone have this and if so, do you like it? Thank you!

The only thing I can think of is automotive paint. I can't really think of what else would work.

When I built my car wash, the spray wand holders were mounted so that the spray wand faced the meter box and sprayed the customer while they walked over to Take it out of the holder. It took a customer complaining about it to get me to even realize that that was a problem! Shows you what I...

I like cryptopay on the meter boxes. It's easier for the customer and gets them in and out faster

Just waiting on distributor and electrician now. Not long I hope.

Yes I have a new faceplate that came with the cryptopay conversion. It will make things look even better. I also have new buttons and a mars validator.

I'm upgrading my iba but keeping my Hamilton Cashier. I bought some vinyl wrap in blue carbon fiber color. I'm partway done and it makes quite a difference.$75 in materials. Installation is not difficult.

Yes to the multi towel method. Our detail shop uses 3 surgical towels; one saturated in glass cleaner. Second dries. third buffs.

we use this. very few if any streaked window complaints. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-4589-kleen-shine-glass-kleen-concentrate-5-gallon.aspx?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1ouKBhC5ARIsAHXNMI_tP6EpWRGbH3HagIGZHYch6aOHvZY_5-3aMI5CaXkDmQGQ582bWVoaAq-YEALw_wcB

we wash our window towels with no added detergent. i feel the window cleaner cleans the towels sufficiently and any more soap added may leave residue in the towel, which is a big cause of streaks. we use these for window towels and have for decades...
