    just converted to flex serve

    2 thoughts re above. 1. I think the goal of 50/50 is misplaced. The goal should be improving your bottom line. Your breakdown may and should be way off. Exteriors often need cleaning more frequently than interirs. Your exterior volume should hopefuly increase by a multiple and interior may...

    Cryptopay Installation

    My first set came with a template. The second set did not. I prefer templates over measuring any day. I would suggest you use a piece of carboard and make a template. Easy to use repeaatedly.

    trash dumpers

    Did 2 FS conversion and 2 where there was lots of manual prepping. As a rule people are adverse to change. Had to explain to many who were dismayed at no manual prep that the equipment was upgraded so it was no longer neccessary and we guaranteed a clean car. Since volume increased...

    Customer claims pressure removed some paint from his bumper

    I wouldn't say it's not gonna happen. Been to court more than once with insurance companies. Last time they dropped the case on the day of trial. I was ready to go. Under Illinois law they were required to pay my court costs. Since the numb nuts sued me personaly and then changed it to the...

    Customer claims pressure removed some paint from his bumper

    I only wish logic would help in these cases. Tried it many times. Things like the marks on the hood go side to side but the equipment only goes back to front. The same piece of equipment washed the entire hood, roof and trunck but you have only one spot in the middle with a 1 inch mark. No one...

    I think the only way you will find out is to experiment. Do you offer a clean car guarantee with the top package?

    Anyone ever made their own coin vaults?

    Right, if the Coin Meters are back to back you use one vault for 2 bays, The round safe and head are about $530.00 I have 4 for my eight bays. I much prefer the drawer type which I have in the Coleman islands. Much easier to pull and dump even though I have sleeves in the round ones. The square...

    Anyone ever made their own coin vaults?

    If you were to make your own with top quality SS I doubt it would be much cheaper than these. http://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-31887-ginsan-t-handle-vault-assembly.aspx Just a lock cylinder and key are $25.00 without the T handle part. AFAIAC the drawer type is much easier than round vaults...

    Best combo vac/shampooer?

    FWIW I use water based Nu Scents concentrates. Starting October 1 of each year I use Windshield Washer anti freeze instead of water to dilute it. So, no issues with oil based fragrance for me:)

    simulated pulse issue

    That is probably because it is your enter switch that measures the car. As long as the conveyor is set to the correct speed, it will start and stop functions at the correct time. Just don't adjust the conveyopr speed.

    Best combo vac/shampooer?

    If you have not done so already I would run hot but not boiling water thru all the hoses a few times to remove residue.
