    Simoniz Break Dance???

    so silicone is better, okay. and regardless of any micro economics argument, 100% more per drum is gouging.

    Simoniz Break Dance???

    MSDS says cherry scent, so that is present as part of the 'show'. The beading action is show IMO. I'm using Hp wax in the IBA, so there isn't a color or foaminess I'm looking for. I need beading action and gloss and scent. I was referring to an exact wax product.$400 / 30 gal. barrel quoted...

    Simoniz Break Dance???

    isn't the 'show' of a drying agent the water break effect? from what it says here, the product will dry, enhance gloss and smoothness. so why are you guys dissing it without even having tried it??? the reasons for the question are perfectly legit, especially since some chemical companies feel...

    Thinking of reclaiming my ro reject, any ideas????

    I plumbed my reject line to a 250 gal. tote. I used a Little Giant pump inside tote to pump reject into touchfree wash HP pump tank. The Little Giant pump has a low cutoff float switch and a second float inside the HP pump feed tank. works for waxman

    What water temperature do you run to your self-service bays?

    my gas furnace keeps hot water stored at 130 degrees. From there is mixes with cold for 'hot water' so maybe 90ish in the bays (a guess). I bumped it from 120 for better cleaning, which i feel i got.

    Best Pre-Soaks out there?

    I have enjoyed trying Super Kleen Powder and Simoniz foam additib\ve for my IBA presoaks. The wash quality is very good with this combo for me. I like the powders for many reasons and am using them in my SS as well now. Simoniz correct and Foam additive combo.

    Should I?

    No land= no deal. Take all your cash and invest in something better and easier. Find a higher and better use for the cash, esp since you know so little and there is no land to invest in. PASS

    Social Media and Web Pages, Are they really worth it?

    what I noticed is people respond well to before and after pictures of the detail packages our shop completes. I have gotten jobs this way (face book). website is important for detail but car wash i'm not sure yet

    Hey Newbies; this is car washing.

    No; not necessarily. It's more of a mindset that needs to be developed over time. Sometimes recognizing a problem before it causes a breakdown is essential for smooth operation of the car wash. It's more about becoming tuned into the equipment, processes and customers.

    motor contactor and thermal relay problems

    This is how I trouble shoot; if something malfunctions right after I was repairing or maintaining, I go right back to where I was and double check what I did. Usually the problem is obvious but not always. 1. start at one end of the circuit and test. Is breaker on properly? 2. Is power...

    Hey Newbies; this is car washing.

    Yes, sometimes not panicking is the trickiest part. No one really explains break down scenarios to you when you're planning a wash.

    Bank deposits. Does anyone use a service where the bank picks them up?

    night drop bags are the best bet IMO. the money is counted in a room closed off from the lobby of the bank. people see large stacks of cash and get crazy ideas; $250 in small bills looks like thousands to those unfamiliar with car wash operations.
