    Do it yourself carpet cleaning solution

    Making your own carpet cleaning chemicals sounds too risky. Best to stick with the large chemical manufacturers.

    Two IBAs, Friction and Touch-Free, priced differently?

    It's a combination of both. The more I pay, the closer to NADA clean retail I stay. More cost=less price flexibility.

    What's best option for my potential site?

    In my own personal experience, customers will complain about reclaim. Whether it's the foul odor coming from your entire wash or spots on their car, they will complain and you will get so tired of the complaining you will wish you took the advice given to you. Customers will discover that you...

    Two IBAs, Friction and Touch-Free, priced differently?

    I would price them the same. If you feel you must price them differently I would go higher on Touchfree due to higher c.o.g.s.

    If any of you were going to build a new wash, what is the best automatic? As far as speed , maintenance and quality of washes. Thanks,

    Yes, the distributor is important! You need maximum 'up' time and minimal down time. Stocking spare parts and troubleshooting / repairs are critical to success. The chemistry is critical in touch free! Quality is largely based on your chemistry, water quality, pressure, dwell of chemicals...

    Washwaorld Razor. LED light package .Polycarbonate doors. I'd tear up concrete on my entry pad and install floor heat ( I didn't put it in on the advice of a trusted colleague. BAD ADVICE).

    Perserverance pays

    I always buy second hand cars. I like Volvos alot. They are great to drive on my 40 min commute. They are safe and reliable and I'm brand loyal. That said, they do have issues from time to time ; like all vehicles. So I didn't get too upset when my 2006 XC90 sputtered and died Sunday...

    Small town SS about to get a competitor!

    My blowers were expertly made by a fellow acf member. They are great. They wire into existing coin box for me; I had an open position on the dial so I used that. I'm using Simoniz Bead Up for my wax and love it so far. The effect of waxing then blow drying is amazing. If your water quality...

    Mechanical Vender?

    I disagree that mechanical vendors are obsolete. I keep adding more and more and my customers love the selection!!! I bought 3 on craigslist for $80 total! They needed a few parts but they are easily had on Kleenrite. The new decals are free with purchase of product.

    Small town SS about to get a competitor!

    I would use the new wash coming in as an opportunity to raise prices. You are differentiated from the IBA. Maybe buy a new vac and a combo vac shampoo/vac. Up your vending offerings. Get as many things as you can ; tire inflator, mat brusher, air dryers in bays, tri foam, all the options...

    A nation of sheep

    I bristle when I get told how to live, think, feel, etc. People chide me for being unwilling to delve more deeply into news of the day. It's ok; because I can only let so much in before I find it upsetting me; making me fearful, edgy, or worried. I can't live that way.
