    SSCWN Article - Wash all you want

    The idea has merit, if your customer is interested in washing. For the customer that stops by for a air freshener and window wipe, maybe not so good. Also the customer that has a clean car and just wants to vacuum a couple cycles. I have a full serve competitor 4 blocks away, and i receive so...

    Why is Kleen-Rite so slow lately?

    You guys are spoiled. Living at the end of the earth, everything from everyone takes almost 5 days to get here. It could be the delivery company. You should look at when it shipped.

    Your machine ate my $10 bill

    It's obvious that she didn't loose anything, but maybe not being honest with the husband. Sometimes the people are more comedy than tv and it's interesting to see their acting, or lack of acting skills.

    Black Iron size?

    Just use an end with threads to screw a coupler into it,preferably a 90 with threads to get it away from the wall. I use small plastic tubing to air doors with 90psi, so plastic is no big deal.

    100% Honest! WOW.

    There really are alot of nice customers. It's the black storm cloud that follows that one customer around that lets us forget about how good they are.

    100% Honest! WOW.

    I think it's the dime i lost in the bill acceptor, or trying to stick it in the credit card acceptor, or was it the dime i was forcing into the slot that says quarters only!

    $5 Per Gallon Gas

    As the states run out of money, i can't imagine if more protests happen in large cities like in wisconsin, we may be in for a rough year. Protests, high gas prices, high unemployment, we are already seeing higher food prices here and the talk is for food to go 30% higher, due to australia's...

    Touchless spinners RPM

    I used to have the powerains predecessor the nustar, and I always wanted the spinners to go slower, as the swivels wore out so quick. Too slow is when you notice circles on the side and it missed areas. So somewhere in between is probably optimum. I noticed they scared customers when they went...

    Vendor Glass Replacement Advice Needed

    I wouldn't get too excited about all the ways to protect it depending on cost, why not just just replace it with glass, and then bolt some lexan over it. A little double protection, i wouldn't spend too much money on what may occur again. I would post the pictures with a $100 washing reward...

    Get Ready for changes to the Loonie & Toonie

    It's hard to believe they would go thru the effort to counterfeit a low value coin. Alot more work than making paper money. It could be worse, we are on our second generation dollar coin, and neither is used at all. Mostly for coin collectors. Maybe it's time to switch to the IDX that will take...

    Electrician Bailed, No Permit, Need Final

    Were you missing a permit completely so that there were no building or plumbing inspections also? I would go the the city and have them help. After a permit they should be able to sign off on various stages. I think when putting in my last IBA --must have seen various inspectors at least 4-5...

    Oh Boy....Big day!

    We went from -17 thur morning to almost 40 on sat. Then 1/3 of our city had a power blackout at 2pm, and couldn't wash a car for 8hrs. It was almost 40 this morning, looking for my shorts, as this is almost summer weather for us. It should be a fantastic car wash week for us.

    Urgent! Need Help with County

    A strong case where info, knowledge, and homework paid off. Do you realize how many people would just throw the money at the problem to make it go away. They get used to the big guys just cutting them a check. Congrats on the good luck with county and the new Razor!!

    Credit Card system advice??

    The wash gear is from your state and while fairly expensive. I think most people have had really good things to say about them. A local dealer put an exacta system in not too far from me and complained that the keypads were always out, and could barely keep a 6 bay working. The wash gear is...
