    Presoak for HP soap?

    I use my same 2 products in HP soap ( self serve ) that I use in my IBA: Simoniz Correct Powder and Simoniz Foam Additive. I also use it in my foamy brush. No scent, but it's hard to beat the cleaning power and low cost.

    Goldline / Cryptopay conversion

    So the conversion kit for Cryptopay / Hamilton Goldline cashier is $1250 from Kleen Rite. Savings is $30 / mo for second phone line ( gets eliminated). Using this savings alone, payback is 3 1/2 years. Is that enough to buy it? Are there other factors to consider? Thanks Waxman

    Surface Protection

    I've never been a believer in high cost products in the carwash like the Rain X. I'd make up your own unique name and use it for your favorite sealer / wax product.

    Your Best Investment

    credit cards are a must nowadays; i don't see any reason not to do that first. i think i'd add 2 more vacuum cleaners, because with 4 bays you have the potential to max out your vacs quickly on the busy days. vacs are high profit margin equipment and very reliable, so it's hard to go wrong there.
