    ShieldX vs rainX

    OOOOOK, you opened the door. Had 3-4 major car wash name reps / suppliers come to my place with samples or provide samples telling me they could meet or beet KR Soap and Triple foam wax, as well as FB and some items I use for show and cleaning. After a few weeks of aggravation working with...

    ShieldX vs rainX

    If they asked me (they won't) I'd tell them to rethink their culture business model. Ecolab charged a premium price and tried to justify it with premium service. For some it was well worth it but in the internet age comparisons are easy and as far as service goes a long retired Ecolab rep who...

    ShieldX vs rainX

    $800 per 15 gallons is about 42 cents per oz. We sell most thru a package and the increment is $2.00 . I need to see how much we use oper car. I would guess it's around 1oz. Like the idea of using 4 K Nozzles (we currently nuse 6), but it seems like Ecolab may be overestimating the name...

    High Employee Turnover

    Still confused. 1. Agreed concerning my "Surprise" about how lots of stuff is done. 5 employees at one time for 75 CPH? What the heck are 3 of them doing? Around 2003 or so I was surprised who was getting 100% mortgages, but many clients were selling houses and I was closing 75 deals a year...

    Cars Bump - Handle how

    Cars A, B, C, proceeding down tunnel. Rear Wheel push - One safety roller. 7 foot spacing. 75 feet in for unknown reason car A loses all rollers, they pass under rear & then front wheel. Video does not show A applying brakes. B Bumps A loses rollers and C Bumps B B has scratches in...

    High Employee Turnover

    Color me confused. An express typicaly operates with one employee at a time. Perhaps 1.5 using someone for troubleshooting, cleanup etc. Are you factoring some sort of flex service? Are you considering an average? A full size tunnel EE with one loader / greeter can easily do 100CPH...

    staffing and training in our EE

    No simple answer. Develop a checklist of things you do. Train employees how to handle items on the list. Make them accountable.

    Flash Drying

    I can't say "how Dry is dry". But, FWIW I just changed my configuration at a location and am really pleased with the results. (5 AVW 15HP units) There is a single top unit perhaps a little higher than I would like and then 8 feet later their are twin center tops with flipping nozzles to do the...

    Tunnel Lighting.

    Mr. Hoffman, Could you share the cost savings math with us? The video says 1875W of LED. 1.3 year payback. (Note all numbers below rounded) Based on G&G website this would be 4 deluxe packages plus 24" for a cost of slightly over $10,000. I can only guess that an alternate would be 20...

    Tunnel Lighting.

    Couple of questions. 1. From the video it seems there are 2 rows of lights. One in each corner of the tunnel running the entire length. If that is not correct (Are there more?) Please advise as to # of fixtures and total equip cost. 2. Video says wheel blaster has 3 zero degree nozzles...

    As Far as I know the only choice was first DAta. LAst statement costs were under 5%. (Not counting comcast internet charges)_ The Chicagoland association has some sort of deal with First Data. Went thrru that rep.

    Custom Bubbler

    I use KR Cherry Blossom I use in the SS because I thought was te foamiest thing I had. I bumped up the flo jet to 30 PSI from 20, and it seems better. 40 PSI made it foamier. I use the KR Triple foam soap in the Foam sticks preceded by KR Low PH in the pre soak. After the AVW Mitter is a...

    Hydrominder problem

    I wished the KR video would have shown some trick to get the inlet screen / washer out for cleaning easily without damaguing it. I started stocking spares of those as well.

    Tunnel Lighting.

    My EE Tunnels are typicaly lit with a single row of MH lights down the center. Unlike Full serve where a double row may give better lighting for the sides of the car especialy when viewed from a customer walkway having the row down the center seems to be plenty. Typicaly lights are spaced...
