    CryptoPay Credit Card Acceptance System

    I got one of the crypto pays going today. Distance to the reader was about 60 feet and works flawless with a new led6 that has a superbright display. Wired in easy with just two power wires and a signal wire to timer. Seems to be a killer way to add cc's , at $350 a bay.

    Never seen this before

    Is it possible they spread his remains around the wash so that you had to clean up after him one more time.

    The flight into the Hutson

    I've seen the video before, but still amazed at his skills, and cool collective behavior. Beyond those skills landing level in the water- avoiding boat traffic, and not cartwheeling by having one low wing, beyond skilled!! I read in an aviation magazine that the airbus computers sensed overheat...

    RFID/Unlimited Washing for SS Bays

    I like the idea leo, not a clue what it would cost to implement. Have you thought about what you would charge a month. I just seen where our local movie theatres are implementing an unlimited pass and wondering how you do that. It would seem kids would pass the pass around alot. I put their...

    soap tank making suds

    Not sure what your setup is like, but can you put a hose on it with a clamp to keep the incoming soap and water from splashing and making suds-( by filling towards bottom of tank), or lowering water pressure so that tank fills slower.

    The cruise ship fiasco

    They said those waters had been charted for 500yrs, and that this captain had done a closer path in aug, so i am sure he ignored the equipment then. They tell us all the time while flying, as a pilot we are the weakest link. Our plane has this g1000 panels and will advise about tfrs, class b...

    How cold is too cold?

    We are at -17 without windchill, and decided to open later today as we only had 2 or 3 customers per wash yesterday, and tired of spending dollars to chase dimes. At some washes had people just come in to empty garbage from car- too cold at vacs i guess,, so no soup for them today-- soup nazi

    U.S. Marines under attack

    I guess all our troops that have been beheaded or burned or tortured was not a sign from them. We like to think our guys are much more civilized than the animals they fight. Why is it so bad to pee on them, but no big deal to kill them. When it comes to war it seems like symbolism is worse...

    Bad Car Wash PR or ???

    Water based fluid is almost a must at a car wash. The lines always break on a new car. When i had a Nustar the lines broke on a 2 day old min-van, and i spent all day detailing it. The window felt or whatever you call it on the side windows was impossible to get oil out, so the window wouldn't...

    CryptoPay Credit Card Acceptance System

    I found time to plug one in today, and bought drill bits to drill my stainless lids and drilled mounting holes in my signs, so a little progress. I also plugged one in and sent the waxman a video from my older slightly grainy cellphone so if interested send me a message thru the board with a...

    Orbitz Travel

    I like booking direct for hotels and cars. Both will let you change plans or cancel without fees up to the last 24 hrs, unless a special deal where they make you pay in advance. I look flights up on kayak sometimes to see which airline is cheaper. I think the absolute best deals for flying...

    CryptoPay Credit Card Acceptance System

    What rule did i break? I am lost as to why. Was it 4csuns breaking the rule asking about the system, making it look good to generate interest? I have not had a chance to install it. We have no snow this year and temps have been like right now 33 going to 40, and yesterday 50. It has been so...

    Looking for opinions

    It looks like you will punish the grass guys and all your customers at the same time. Will the market around you take all your customers, as the average customer probably spends $3-4 at your wash. I think you should lower the time by a minute, customers cannot compute the time only the $...

    ACW and Vacuum Break-in’s

    It seems odd that someone would destroy a wash to get tokens to buy vending, unless they are getting quarters, by putting in 5 $1 tokens and buying a .75 item, and then getting change back. Otherwise if they are getting so much vending, they could be selling it at swap meets and such. A pretty...

    ACW jackpotted

    If you haven't done this already put the acw on a GFI breaker. That was to eliminate another problem, but any messing with wire that touch ground would kill it. If you have an old or new hamilton validator switch it over to a mars. The first problem was stringing their validator, and the second...

    Increasing Visibility to Automatic

    I think in ND the people have understood the doors are a must, so we haven't had a problem. Why not use the doors for a sign that says Open 24hrs in16 in. letters on the doors, or something else that makes sense for you.

    Age old soap question

    I think everyone has given enough good advice on soap. I was just thinking if the soap your using gives good FB, but no suds on HP, you will need to change concentration for the HP, or adjust it with whatever you decide to use.

    Price increases for New Year

    I talked to Keith at KR, and he said that he didn't expect any new price increases as vending took a hit in july. I am always looking for the best prices or sales as all the small things add up. I don't know about warsaw, i am using KR in the SS and Blendco in the Vectors. Good results in both...
