    Know when to say NO

    :confused:Sometimes in an attempt to earn more, I say yes to things (jobs) I shouldn't. I waxed a Winnebago recently and I should never ever have said yes to the job.

    detail plus

    Wow; not sure but that seems like a dig. Bud A has always been awesome with me on the phone and very responsive for someone in a position high within a company.

    CC"Tip Line"?

    Okay it's official. If you run a detail shop and it's a nice operation, you should have a tip line on your CC machine/slips. Yes, many customers ignore it. Some, however will add in a tip. At my place, we added the tip line in late March and have already seen decent results from having it in...

    Dash board glas spots

    I have seen this problem exist before I ever touch the car with any cleaner or rags etc. I like Bud's idea of never sprayong anything on the dash; spray the cloth instead and wipe.

    Because it is a completely different system, that's why I asked. If a 35' conveyor was fully adequate why would anyone build one 100'?

    Replaced Touch Free with Friction and added R/O waste collection to reuse in SS.

    Which friction car wash did you buy and why? Thanks.

    Can a 35' conveyor really get a car clean?
