It sounds like you are in the beginning stages of your idea about the car wash business. I suggest the following: educate yourself first through traditional means; work at a car wash yourself ( GASP!) to see what the business involves. Go to the ICA show or regional trade shows. Attend the...

What about changing nozzle size / degree, pump pressure or HP rinse cycle speed?

FWIW: I raised my per swipe maximum charge on crypto pay to $15. I'm happy with the amounts I see on my report that are above $10 ( my old swipe limit).

Pic / link please...........

I bought 5 new 'swooper' flags for my lot last week and I'll be pouring concrete bases for the ground spikes this weekend. I'm thinking I will buy one of these: It'll be about $1000 including shipping. I've wanted one for awhile, and I'm imagining all the possibilities for messages on each side.

I use hi / hi on my no touch ( not a razor). 10 sec dwell for each pass. I mix my own soap ( simoniz correct powder and simoniz foam additive) and apply it heavy. I like it to 'paint' the car, meaning good coverage of milky white foamy soap. Seems to work for me.

You have to go into your cryptopay merchant account and re-configure the swiper settings if you want a different min / max charge. I was $10 max per swipe on my wand bays. I just raised max to $15. When I looked at the sales today I noticed a bunch of charges over $10. One was $30!

WOW! I bet my workers comp company would have a problem with that......

Lysol?

Hi Does anyone have a case or more of little trees pouch packs of Margarita, Avocado or both??? I'd like to buy some but haven't been able to find any...

I see your points! Every wash IS different and we can't be here 24/7. We all have to run the business, and not let the business run us.

I had a machine owned by coke. What a miserable failure. The checks came but were tiny. You can make some money vending soda, I think. But what you're getting paid for is: stocking the machine, buying the soda, trucking it to your wash, emptying the money and maintaining the equipment...

I plan to keep trash cans for as long as I own the wash, because I am a car detailer by trade. Part of cleaning a car properly is throwing the trash away that accumulates in the car. You are offering an inferior service by not giving people a way to dispose of their car trash. It's bad...

I did pay the claim to the insurance company, not to her or the body shop. FYI the amount I paid was different ( lower ) than she or the bodyshop wanted. Customer then took me to small claims court. I remember vividly, because I was right in the middle of what I like to refer to as :"...

I think Soapy's way is best; Notching them looks like it can leave some sharp edges that could scratch interior parts on cars...

Crypto pay is an awesome addition to the car wash! My minimum is $5. Max $10. It gets ALOT of use and that is only increasing!!! Crazy not to have it, IMO.

Yep; I'm in a pokey little Western Massachusetts town. My competitor is at $17 ( friction rollover ). Pricing can be either market-based or cost-based or a combination of the two. If you have brand new equipment, and your competitor does not, why would you want to match his $12 price? I would...

It's ok to take their $$$, as long as you give something in return!:)o_O:cool:

I also bought my Raypak boilers thru Huron Valley Sales. Mine are 13 years old and perform wonderfully. Another key component I have found very effective is a Spirovent; it automatically removes air from the system. Pretty cool...
