    Wheel brush

    I removed my tire brush equipment last year. I would estimate that less than 1% of all vehicles on the road have whitewall or raised white lettering tires. I still offer a wheel cleaning option as a stand alone service and as part of my works package. I foam on a solution of hydrochloric...

    cheapest salt for your softener

    I buy my salt directly from the local distributor . I pay around $8.25 for an 80lb bag. To get that price I have to buy a pallet of 30 bags. They deliver it and use a forklift to put in my equipment room for a $25 fee.

    ICA Show 2016 Nashville

    I can drive to Nashville and really enjoy staying at the Opryland Hotel. There is plenty to do in Nashville if you enjoy good music and food.

    Tunnel pre-rinse

    Some of it is Peco and the rest was put together by me. The side blasters are just stainless pipe attached to a couple of posts that came of an old set of rocker brushes. The HP rinse arch is a combination of Peco and a modified AVW wheel blaster unit.

    Tunnel pre-rinse

    Earl, I use the high pressure on all washes. The first HP(side blasters) is useful because my wash gets a lot of rural customers who often have gritty residue from unimproved roads. We also wash 3-500 vehicles a week that are driven around in the local steel plants and refineries. Most of them...

    Mirrors..fold or no fold?

    I don't fold any mirrors. If a customer wants to fold their mirrors it's OK with me but we won't do it for them. Our equipment is adjusted so we rarely break a mirror. The ones we do get are usually damaged from a prior incident or on an older vehicle.

    Tunnel pre-rinse

    With the type of washing conditions we get in the winter around here, it is almost impossible to get the backs clean without manual prepping. I also prefer to not have my wraps adjusted aggressively because I don't like the problems with mirror and rear wiper damage that result.

    Tunnel pre-rinse

    The wrap arounds are from Peco. We also have a set of grill brushes from Sonnys. By getting double coverage, we get the front ends very clean. In order to get the rear of vehicles clean we spray them with a prep gun (high ph soap) and mop them with a hogs hair brush.

    Tunnel pre-rinse

    I foam on high PH presoak on a dry car. Then I use high pressure side blasters on the side of the car. I follow that with a foamer applying low PH soap before the car enters the friction part of the tunnel. Then I use a high pressure rinse before applying drying agent and spot free rinse...

    Conservative vs Liberal Poiitics in England

    The press relies on pollsters to make their predictions. The pollsters are struggling to get accurate results because many conservatives refuse to participate and even when they do, the pollsters refuse to believe their own data so they just refuse to publish It if it doesn't confirm their...
