Yeah! $2 VAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm using Simoniz Bead-Up.

Weather and time of year are the biggest factors, IMO, that drive volume and profits. Trends in sales volumes and profit are best looked at in longer time frames. Year over year changes in volume can be due to several factors. When the pollen season is right, all the cars get dirty 30 minutes...

I would definitely not leave the nylon brushes in place, no matter what. IMO, that is outdated technology and customers / the car wash insdustry left the 'weed wacker style' car washes in their rear view mirror years ago.....

If the machine is functioning properly, relatively reliable and easy to maintain, I would put some new, colorful foam on the machine and maybe add a light package to it. If you freshen the bay with cleaning, a new sign, and some new l.e.d. lighting, many customers will think the wash is new...

Cool! Looks like a jail................I feel like an inmate some days! o_O

I try to stay well-stocked on parts , vending and chemicals, so I can take advantage of free shipping on pallet orders.

I would give him 2 consecutive days off , like Tues./ Wed. However, I'm not sure if you can fix a bad attitude with a couple days off per week. He may just be burnt out and you need someone new for the job. Honesty is great, but keeping proper security protocols in place is better. I'm at my...

This is the wand we use. I'm putting out a high-pressure wax that looks like Grade A U.S. Dairy Cream, so my drying results are fabulous!!!

The air blowers are a great add-on for me. Lots of use from customers. I'm at my wash daily, so I hear how much they are used and it's alot. I recently put up new "washing instructions' signs and added 'air dry' as the last step in washing the vehicle. It's bound to increase blower use even...

I recently placed a big ( for me) order with Kleen Rite. Soaps, waxes, polish in 30 and 55 gallon drums. Loads of vending, vac motors, detail supplies, signs, you name it. When I received the order, several items were missing. They were backordered I found out. In 'normal' times, I put...

I've seen the bay start then immediately stop and the problem has been bad credit cards ( over limit, etc) not swiper.

I would buy some used equipment, sure.

I've used DEMA and allenair solenoids and don't think I've ever had a bad coil. Many rubber parts on the valves have gone bad, but never a coil...

Is this how all the cars are coming out? Or is it a fluke? It looks like a car went in to wash, had one or 2 presoak passes applied and then left the bay for some reason.

I have a very small coin laundry in my apartment building. I bought new Maytag machines and a used Speed Queen. Both types have worked flawlessly so far, but the Speed Queen has a beefier, more commercial look and seems more rugged.

YEAH RIGHT!

If you know how to do it, post a video of the process on Youtube. Shoot the video from outside the car and narrate it if possible; ('this is my presoak, this is my wax", etc) If you do that, post the link here so we can see what's going on with your wash process...

WAIT. Before you start destroying parts, troubleshoot this thing properly. Start at one end ( wax source ) and work inward, toward spray gun. At each point when you find something in 'ok' status, move to the next thing. I.E.; is there wax in the tank? is the screen plugged that lets the...

Post a picture if you can. That might help.
