    Air Dryer guns

    T-Bolt hose clamps have a much higher clamping force compared to worm gear clamps. https://www.grainger.com/product/GRAINGER-APPROVED-Hose-Clamp-T-Bolt-1XGU9

    Best Decals

    We use our local Fast Sign dealer and they do a great job and are reasonably priced. They are not exceptional fast so the name is not appropriate but we are fine with that. Most times in life you can get good, fast and cheap as long as you only pick two of the three.

    Accounting software

    What is this? We are still using Quickbooks 2013 desktop and they told us we can't upgrade to anything except to subscription based.

    It looks like they only make the winter formula in the conditioner.

    What do you do with the triple foam in the winter to prevent freezing?

    Of course you are in a freeze prone area if you have desalt. Duh....

    I vote for replacing the 8 position switches with 10s. Then move the bug off/desalt to between tire cleaner and presoak. You don't have spot free rinse? As far as triple foam we don't have ours installed yet but will probably go with ceramic. I brought up the freezing issue recently in another...

    Fail-Safe RO Reject Water Recycling Suggestions?

    What are you going to use it for? Keep in mind that the TDS may be double what your soft water coming into the RO system is.

    Tire inflation knob

    Its hard to tell but it looks like aluminum. Most are rubber and the high pressure ones I see are usually brass. I have seen some stainless ones. It does look really close to the wheel cover and that probably is a factor. The cover is clocked wrong.

    Tire inflation knob

    Maybe the valve stem already had a slice in it from elsewhere. The valve stem is pressed into the back side of the wheel before they install the tire on it. Maybe the wheel cover was put on in an orientation that pushed on the valve stem. The wheel cover should not touch the valve stem. It...

    Tire inflation knob

    Now that I think about it maybe it is the whole valve stem? That would be a big deal and yeah that seems to be about impossible to get torn out from a friction machine.

    Tire inflation knob

    Are you talking about the valve stem cap? If so it was probably not screwed on tight in the first place. What is the big deal? Is it some fancy one?

    Triple foam

    What do they put in it for their normal triple foam used in the self serve bays to prevent freezing? I guess if you want to put in a blow down system then you could use whatever product you want.

    Triple foam

    I wonder if they offer a winter version or if we could just mix in methanol like the foam brush soap.

    What NOI multiples do you see around your area?

    Appraisal Value

    I have seen a few that sold for 8-9 times NOI. Many times I don't get to see the net.

    Credit/Debit Card Importance?

    With a population of 60,000 and the only wash in town then you can charge whatever you want. On the other hand it is one of the more expensive places to live so there's that. I'm sure your expenses are really high. (both business and personal)

    Air Dryer guns

    Overall I like the Air Logic guns but I bought three of them from KR a few months ago and take a look how bad they applied the bed liner coating. I kept the two on the right and sent the one on the left back as defective. Of course KR botched the return and I still have not received credit. I...

    Air Dryer guns

    Oh yeah it will not stay in the original Air Shammee rectangular holder and you will need something like this. Even with this holder it is a little sketchy. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-22580-6-stainless-steel-wand-holder-by-hamel-manufacturing.aspx

    Appraisal Value

    I pretty much agree with every word except the multiplier. Around here 10 times NOI is about the floor for washes and it easily goes up to 15. I know one that sold two years ago that was about 17 times NOI and it needed a lot of work. Actually the previous owner did all the work so when you put...
