    Potential New Owner

    So will you quit your full time job and just run the wash or hire a manager? I still think this deal is not one I would make, based on the info you have provided. I think the best advice you will get is to hire a consultant after you review 3 years tax returns and decide if the deal is worth...

    Potential New Owner

I could tell you it sounds great and go for it and it's easy to run a wash and the owner is probably telling the truth, etc. What I said was designed to wake you up to the fact that no...

    Potential New Owner

    1. Get 3 years tax returns from present owner. 2. It's bad and I'd never ever invest $3M on a business like this w/no land. Crazy talk. 3. Hire an independent carwash consultant. 4. $ Zero. Lousy idea.

    Bank repo

    Let it go Why is there no floor heat? Out of order or non-existent? I'd let it close. If it had more potential I may say get involved, but it sounds pretty poor by your description, so what is your up-side to helping out besides earning some temporary money for what sounds like alot of work...

    replacing a LW4000

    Sounds like you missed the ICA show (so did I). Too bad; that would've been a good place to look at a bunch of machines. For touchless IBA's I like Washworld's look and build quality. Lots of guys like PDQ and Belanger, too. For friction I like the Softgloss machine. Why not get a copy of...

    Greatest Paint Buffing Fear Eliminated

    I gave the Flex Buffer a real good hard workout recently, buffing a severly scratched Dodge Ram pickup. It had tree limb scratches all over the finish. I used 3M Super Duty compound and a waffle foam cut pad followed by Pro #1 Polish and a waffle finish pad. It was fast and easy and proced a...

    Water Conservation

    I'd go the simplest route first, reduce nozzle size. Then see if cleaning or lubricity suffers. If not, you're done.

    Suppliers right or wrong?

    I fired a supplier for gouging recently. They had been caught by me once, charging WAY too much for a vac hose, of all things. I warned them I would not tolerate that. Then they did it again; this time on a gallon of Vinyl Dressing. Next time they came in I told them they were fired and not...
