I think the $1 to start is a bad idea. You want to implement things at the wash that will make more profit and this isn't such an idea.

Lots of deals on Ebay right now! http://www.ebay.com/itm/USED-LASERWASH-4000-AND-HAMILTON-GOLDLINE-CAR-WASH-EQUIPMENT-/320890335964?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab68df2dc

My little Superior Side Trac 700-R washes the heck out of Smarts as well as other small cars with zero problems. I love these small vehicles because of the lower cost per car in soap and water! Too bad you couldn't set a default short pass on the LW machine so the hose wouldn't tie itself up...

Which one will not stain trim?

Okay. Suggest one where a 6" pad will fit in the can.

Good letter. A bit long, but I understand why. Your best point is that it is the city's sand in the first place as well as the fact that your far smaller pipes in the wash never clogged. Good job and good luck. Your fightin' city hall, son. Best get yer mind right.:eek:

Cute, but not helpful.

But can you tell me how it degrades?

I switched to Collinite Doublecoat paste wax recently. Had been using Mothers for years but they changed the formula and I find it too mushy now. It gets on trim and our wax jobs look like a 5 year old did them, so I am done with Mothers. Since I like to cut in the edges by hand and then use...

It seems I'm always looking for the next thing I can do to save money and generate extra revenue. The next idea I have for saving money is installing a private water well. I am currently doing the calculations for payback and cost savings. It is complicated and some things have to be...

true... My carwash loan was 6+ years ago and was SBA 504 backed (second position collateralized). I was only able to obtain financing for new construction of my first wash because I owned my land (which the bank and SBA considered my downpayment) and got an SBA 504 loan as a part of the total...

Th Flex is properly weighted and balanced. It has variable speed and a trigger lock. It is easy to use and new techs can pick up the skill quickly. Yes, price is relative. For me, the Flex was the right tool to purchase for my operation. The Broadway Polisher may seem expensive to some...

I love the idea of the Buffpro but the price point is high, as are the pad costs, IMO. This will be the obstacle to overcome with this new and admittedly exciting tool.

Flower Power! :DLandscaping counts. Here is my website and the homepage has my sign and shrubs/flowers. http://houseofwax.us/ Below them is a mulch area alongside the road. My sign is vertical and 'CarWash' is written 'sideways' so it will stand out from all the other signs on my street (the...

Love the Flex buffer. Powerful and smooth. Good at scratch removal. No swirls that I noticed. Need pads now!

Randy Rules Well what'd you expect? When has Randy ever been wrong about anything?:D

I would start out with 2 months expenses and include your pay as Bud said. That's not the way I did it and it is stressful feeling cash-poor until business generates sufficuent cash flow on its own. Managing the place is hard enough, so with a more sufficient cash reserve you can focus on the...

I want to believe you but the problem I have with posts like this is that the real answer is so specific and individualistic that each business loan must be considered on its own merits. This applies to a carwash, restaurant, or gold mine (I think). If the due-diligence is properly done by...

Drain Air Compressor Daily.

Mr Roman: I hope you realize that you are in the extreme minority if your car comes squeaky clean with cold water and a microfiber cloth. If I had to guess, I'd say that less than 1% of all 'everyday' vehicles would come clean with a cold water hand wash sans soap. Just saying...
