I agree with points b and c but not a. My prices are similar and it depends upon marketplace, wash quality and perceived value. Pricing needs to be a function of many things: all costs related to performing the service, both fixed and variable. Price is also a function of what the market will...

I use Mang out of New York. Mike Benmosche is my agent. Great company. Affordable and responsive.

I recently tried KR's triple foam detergent in my IBA in place of foam polish. I think it cleans better. Which do you use and why?

I have insulated metal roll up doors and the doors have been perfect. The openers are the key; get NEMA 4 operators and the waterproof them even more. Doors need consistent maintenance; lubing rollers, chains and springs is about the extent of it.

Shouldn't the arm move visibly in the video if it were contacting a mirror hard enough to break it free from the vehicle? I would not be quick to admit responsibility here.

Whale: What should one pay for a new residential dryer? $250? $500? BTW, I keep my glass cooktop fairly clean using general purpose cleaner regularly along with heavy cleanings less frequently with soft scrub cleanser.

Bigleo: When did you switch and why? What are the reasons you like the product? What were you using before? Do you feel this presoak works well? Trans Mate is in my state (MA).

Dealing with john q public is a little more like hitting the weights and running laps than pre-game when compared to raising children. I agree, though, that learning to be more patient in life is a worthwhile endeavor. Helps with customers, employees, kids, relatives, self, friends. But wait...

I disagree and want em all, dumb, smart, etc. I want their money. How do you determine 'carwash intelligence' anyway? Too hard to tell. Some doctors (md's) , lawyers, professional types are the worst! Swiping the card in the bill slot, pumping token after token into the CC slot, etc. I...

Okay; show me a well-made USA blow gun that's worth it...

I am very thankful for everyone on this forum. I've had thousands of dollars of free advice and help, plus pep talks and encouragement from my good buddies. I did spend yesterday giving thanks and it felt good. Today it's back to reality; myriad detail jobs, a broken IBA door to fix and...

I was talking about these. Great blow guns till the tip falls off w/out warning. http://www.thefind.com/hardware/browse-typhoon-blow-gun

Wax way Step 1: place pail upright on floor. Step 2: get a good quality (like LS Starrett) utility knife with a fresh blade. Step 3: Cut 6 vertical slots in edge of pail lid, penetrating all the way through. You must begin the cut on the top surface of the lid and cut down, AWAY from you...

Gorgeous places. Who is associated with these places? I won't judge....I know it's a tough business climate and if you built on the bubble you can get into trouble.

Is there a replacement tip for the Typhoon Gun? I've had 2 tips basically fall right off (after heavy use, to be fair). Nonetheless, a poor design of an otherwise awesome and useful tool. In addition, one tip flew off under pressure, creating an obvious workplace hazard! WTF???:confused:

I meet with my banker annually over lunch. Since I feel like I am partners with my bank, I give them a thorough run-down of all I have been doing on my end; ways I am saving on the expense side and ways I am attempting to increasing profts, new business ideas like used car sales and their...

Someone dumping mud into your tank? Did you tell them you weren't born yesterday???

After 5 years in business I had my drains between pits rootered out. I have T's on my pit inlets. Mine were PACKED FULL of debris; mud, leaves, sticks. The guy was a friend so I was there helping. It took a couple hours to do my little (2+1) wash. He said it would've frozen this Winter...

Kleenrite has it for $4150+ tax.

How long has the pump been in service? How many washes on it? Do you do regular oil changes? What caused it? Freeze up, etc.? Was there any collateral damage to motor, pulleys,, unloader, etc.?
