an un -manned wash like this is a bad idea from a safety standpoint as well as customer satisfaction and service. especially when new, a wash needs employees to teach customers the way the wash works, etc. we run a 2+1 with a touch free IBA and detail shop. i cannot imagine being un manned...

all i did was list some of the duties involved in owning and operating a wash. i get fed up at times and so will you or any car wash owner. a car wash helper and owner/operator are very different. you'll see.

When I have things tripping a breaker I go looking for a short somewhere. On a pump, I would: turn off power at breaker. open junction box on the pump/motor and inspect the wiring connections. Look for corrosion and moisture. If you find any, clean it out, strip back wires and re-connect...

Is the car wash investment the highest and best use of your available cash? They are alot of hard work and if I had that kind of free cash I could think of many other ways to use that cash to make more money than a car wash makes. I like the car wash business, but you will take that cash...

call ron at autowash maintenance. he sold me an injector (DEMA) that you can install in the hp feed for underbody. it is adjustable with a knob. i never installed because i am lazy.

you've got to list brand and model on 'coin takers' and 'coin changer' have you tested everything to see if it works?

hard to say; i was just the attendant! they were laserwash G5's; 2 of them side by side and same problem existed in both bays.

yes a lighter foam rinses better. i used to work at a car wash with thick tri foam and constantly got 'un rinsed' complaints. thick foam gets caught in channels above windows and blowers spread it to windows where customers see it and then complain. trust me.

i offer exactly what RR suggests except i also have 3 color foam (least used function). I make the HP soap come out like milk, the foamy brush like shaving cream and the wax like green milk. recently raised startup cost to $3. customers like it.

sanding first is the best way. faster and better cut, less mess, better result. plastic lenses only.

we water sand w/2000 then polish; wool pad, rotary polisher. finish w/hand wax. awesome results; fast. $40 for 2 lights we do a few but less since the stupid miracle goo ads.

plumber seemed to think it'd create quite a cost savings by keeping more heat in boiler.

a plumber noticed yesterday i had no dampers on my vent pipes for 2 raypak boilers at my wash. 1 for floor heat 1 for production water. for those of you with this setup, do you have automatic dampers on the furnace vents? thanks!
