    Headlight Restoration Why Not?

    What aerosol clear from a parts store costs $25+??? I can imagine the clear peeling chipping and looking bad real soon.

    Carwash Well Update

    Town says all plumbing from city water needs to be completely separate from my new water well. So I have to decide what to plumb in to the well. The well is 600' deep. 4.5 gpm. Well capacity (w/static level figured) is 810 gallons. I have a touchfree and 2 SS bays. Touchfree main pump feed...

    that's what they said when Elvis was only shown from the shoulders up on tv. That's what they said when Madonna gyrated on stage. That's what they said when Chuck Berry sang about his ding a ling.

    Selling Used Cars

    Didn't wind up with the Saturn I mentioned; got a 1999 Volvo S80 w/113k miles instead. Great car. Needs a heater core and some tires. Got a really nice deal on it. I really have enjoyed the used car business so far; it is exciting and fun to me and with a detail shop it's fun to make the car...

    People inflicting pain

    Solving this one is pretty easy; don't listen to music you dislike. That's why there are so many styles of music! It's hard to argue with success, even if you prefer anything but the 'thing' in question.

    water storage/booster pump

    In my IBA I store my RO reject and use it in the IBA. You could do the same thing; I use a 250 gal tote and pump it into my IBA feed tank via a Little Giant pump w/dual float setup.

    Powdered Soap Recipes

    1 50lb. box Kleen Rite Super Kleen Powder added to 27.5 gal. hot water. Stir. add 2+ gal. KR Purple Passion and add hot water to fill 55 gal. barrel. As for the science end of things, I say leave that to the chemists who make the powder. What you care about is what works, not why.

    Crazy price discrepancies~what would you do?

    Our company has had a love/hate relationship with local distributors (chems and supplies) forever, it seems. With the ease of internet ordering at big supply houses that service our industry, pricing becomes easy to compare. It seems silly that a 55 gal drum of cleaner is $350+ from a...

    Powdered Soap; Long-term test

    They have an offer in Kleen Scene magazine out now for free shipping on orders over $750. Good deal; give it a shot and try the powder. Just think how many boxes of powder you can get for $750 compared to not even 3 drums of good presoak. Wish I'd done this long ago.

    Lubrication & buffing

    No we do not use a lubricant for buffing. We use the Flex buffer, a microfiber pad and Meguiars microfiber compound with great results. No hologram swirls. One step buffs out 1500 wetsand scratches fairly easily.

    Just picked up a nice little low mileage Saturn ION. Looking forward to the fixing up and detailing and marketing. It's a fun part of the business.

    Who has the premiere in-bay CC acceptance system?

    Read the Cryptopay article in this month's Kleen Scene magazine. Count-up CC washes average $5.81 in SS and average 1.2 swipes per wash. That's almost $7 avg per wash. Combine the fact that cryptopay bundles the swipes to lower your fees and it makes sense. Plus the young-uns do not carry...

    Hamilto ACW Prob

    My Hamilton Goldline cashier has been giving incorrect credit for tokenotes intermittently. Last week it was giving an extra 25 cents credit for a tokenote and spitting back a quarter after the wash select button is pressed. This week, the display reads the proper credit for tokenote but the...

    Ryko Softgloss problem has me stumped

    Not familiar with this machine but it sounds like a solenoid or a relay is getting stuck. I assume you cycled the power for cashier and wash plc?

    Powdered Soap; Long-term test

    I use Purple Passion for surfactant as Soapy does with Super Kleen Powder. With the TM057 I use Trans Mate's Blue Velvet as a surfactant. I mix mine up once and leave it; seems to do just fine. I have not tried Blendco. I heard it's awesome and expensive. Too much $$ for this Kapusta...
