    How do I price my wash for sale?

    Perhaps check bizbuysell and see what kind of multipliers other SS washes are using to list for sale?

    Question for Ryko SoftGloss owners.

    Do you guys have air bleeding out the bottom of the manifold on the gantry where all the regulators and solenoids are mounted? I have a constant bleed coming from it and one of the techs that have passed through my place said it's normal. Thanks

    Erie hogs hair brush

    Quick question. I have some generic "universal" hogs hair brushes from Kleen Rite. Do the Erie brushes have something proprietary internal that creates more/better foam?

    Samsung Pay, Apple Pay for Car Wash

    I've been using Apple pay for a few months now. I LOVE IT. It's easier, and more secure than using the credit card itself. I'll be looking into upgrading my WashCard system to utilize it.

    Business

    I also have a new EE less than 3 mi from my location, and directly across the street from that EE, is a Full Servize exterior that weathered the initial storm of the EE and is actually prospering, and lastly a long established SS wash with a grandfathered outdoor bay also 3 mi from me. I guess...

    Business

    I bought my wash about a year ago. Was closed down for about 18months. My first month not only paid the bills, but was mildly profitable. Had a few great months this winter and it been steadily increasing every month 10-20%

    auto drain for compressor

    I just ordered one off Amazon. Didn't want to sit for one from Ebay to ship from China. Hopefully one less daily chore eliminated.

    Pressure in bays???

    I had not one, but two separate customers go out of their want to track me down( I was doing some landscaping maintenance) and thank me yesterday of increasing the pressure in the SS bays. I might leave a bay at 1100 as I get a lot of women and elderly people that I feel would get tired of...

    Foam Brush Hose

    No one here uses clear vinyl or Exelon tubing for their FB setups? The reason I ask is I bought my wash, and that was what was there and I replaced it with the same thinking it was more common. Seems like many here prefer the heavier braided hoses? I will admit that the vinyl/exelon hose gets...

    Pressure in bays???

    Thanks Upped them to 1400 yesterday. What tip are you running at the PSI? I was happy with 3207 when I was at 1100PSI.

    Pressure in bays???

    What pumps are you running? I've considered increasing my PSI's. I'm running about 1250. Also, do most owners replace seals, valves, o-rings on a set basis - say yearly/hourly, or when performance degrades?

    Fragramatic stand alone scent and shampoo machines

    I have 5 of them. 3 Shampoo machines around the perimeter and 2 scents infront of the SS bays. My vacs, overall, get very little use. I think part of that is the EE with free vacs about 3 miles away. I'm at $1/4 on the vac, and I think $1/0:45 on the scents.

    You've been around, how long?

    Real new. About a year. A very helpful forum, but also not very active compared to many of the other forums I frequent. I guess most guys are at their washes. lol

    Cost?

    Do you have a employee/ presence onsite all day during normal business hours? Because, IMHO, the dog wash needs more attention than anything else in my wash.
