    Simoniz presoak for touch free cleaning

    Because I want to simplify the process and because I want to eliminate the problems associated with unmixed powder in the solenoids that plagued me over the last period of operation with my old machinery. I'm also hearing good things about the ultra concentrates which would free up valuable...

    Simoniz presoak for touch free cleaning

    Does anyone use Simoniz pre soak for their touch free IBA? I'm looking to find something comparable to the Simoniz Correct, Foam Additive ( High PH) mix I make now. Thanks!

    If You Weren't in the Car Wash Business...

    I have no idea. My career in car cleaning began at such a young age, I feel like I've done it all my life. I've had lots of other jobs along the way, but none I could see myself doing as a career.

    Undercarriage overspray

    I would eliminate the side pipe ( short pieces) on the ends so it just sprays up under the car. That will eliminate alot of over spray.

    Laser Wash 360 Plus vs Wash World Razor

    My choice was easily the Washworld Razor. A big factor was that a friend of mine operates 4 of them and has enough spare time to GO HIKING REGULARLY!! That sold me.;):):cool::p(y)

    IBA rehab project

    i'm keeping my Hamilton gold line but updating it with crypto pay and crypto tap, some new buttons, a Mars validatir, new graphics and a vinyl wrap on the exterior. I'm keeping my blowers because I think they're great. And building new walls inside the bay as well as a new ceiling because my...

    Opinions needed on price increase

    I think that you can use 4 options ( instead of 3 ) as a way to increase your average ticket per car. Customers appreciate having more options; look anywhere in retail sales and you can see this fact.

    Opinions needed on price increase

    try $15, $13, $11, nine dollars instead. Instead of thinking two dollars per wash , you should be thinking in terms of the customer experience. People that pay cash are going to pull out a 10 and a five for your $14 wash. I don't think it's that important for the customer to get those 4 Quarters...

    Opinions needed on price increase

    I had the same pricing as you in 2018. In 2019 I had a problem with my sewer and was shut down for one month. When I reopened, I immediately raised prices to 10, 12, 13, and 15. I'm installing a new razor now and my pricing will be 15, 17, 19, 20. My competitors are friction rollovers and they...

    IN BAY AUTOMATIC

    I would go for it and install a new Washworld Razor Touchfree machine and Hamilton Pay station. Add Crypto pay, tap and a MARS validator. The touchfree aspect will be enough to differentiate you from friction tunnel competitors. Both pieces of equipment have a time-tested design and are made to...

    Car wash times

    When we wash cars in a self-serve bay for our detail operation, I usually start by putting 20 minutes on the meter.

    Looking to buy my first wash

    I think you're ignoring some obvious problems that exist with this place. The first is why hasn't the current owner repaired the automatic or replaced it with a new machine? The prices seem very low. In some markets self service charge a dollar per minute. Given the income potential of an...
