Head to toe. I learned that the first time I used it. Any splatter would create a whole on any piece of clothing I was wearing. I have a heavy guage rain suite and full face shield. This is the main reason we do a bay a week. I dont have to handle it all day, and since they are cleaned...

I use Aluminate by Warsaw. My local dist carries it. I clean one bay a week. I have FRP panels. I mix it 5:1 with water and spray it on with a hand pump sprayer. Wait about 5 minutes and rinse it off with the HP gun. Afterwards, I spray the walls with RainX and rinse. The FRP panels had...

Has anyone attempted, completed or thought of replacing the coin acceptor in the Vendmaster with something else? All of my prices are in $0.50 intervals, so I have no need for dimes or nickles. This is the only equipment I have that accepts them and I am tired of sorting them out. I also hand...

Oh, I'm not worried. Did you catch that pounding TU gave the pigs. I would keep my focus on them for now. Lots of ball to play before Nov 22. #1 ranking by default I guess is still #1. And if you got too excited and couldnt finish looking at the rest of the rankings, we are at #7. If I did...

Wait until you need to order a neon stick light or something larger.

I have done both of jprb and scotts ideas in the past and they work great. We put a sign out by the street at closing of the day before the free wash day. They were lined up 30 minutes before we opened, and it never stopped for 14 hours. The news crew showed up on its on. It was a blast...

I thought coupons are intended to draw people to your wash, and if they are already there, why give them a coupon. I see a lot of operators who are now stuck in the "pizza" mentality because they have so many sources of coupons. Give them to others to hand out. Color code them or something so...

What's the record for # of posts for one thread?

I have the RO and 300 gallon tank as well as my air compressor on a "second" floor" configuration. Not hard to do if you can weld yourself or know someone who can.

Anyone use a water based hydr fluid like AquaBlue? Pros/Cons?

Red, just so you understand, when I am talking about myself, I mean myself, not the company I work for. I am not big business. I never tried to be annonymous, only to represent myself as someone in the biz. When I asked to keep it between us I didnt mean for you to keep something private...

Good point Earl, my RainX generators can get really nasty every few months. I tend to just replace the scrubbies as cheap as they are. Also if you have hard water, this can happen more frequently.

Red, not sure why you are argueing with me either. Not sure why you think I am a crybaby or feel like I got my toes stepped on as well. Just stated my personal opinion. And by the way, I have never mentioned who I have or currently work for while a member of this site and we have never met...

Sorry, $375.

If I paid off a city councilman to vote in favor of changing the zoning on a portion of land next to yours, that is unethical. If someone has the investment to construct and operate a business that abides by the law, they have the right to do so, now matter what. As long as the P&Z/Council...

Let me first say that a few years ago I ordered a truckload of their catalogs and at the same time, stopped buying toilet paper. With this being said, This is exactly what this country is about. WalMart and McDonalds are the American dream. Not everyone is going to be "successful". You have...

I have seen foamers put together many different ways, not sure how yours are, but I always stick with the following: on top of the foam stick is the foam generator followed by the inlets for chemical and air. A tee out of the foam generator on it side is connected to the top of the generator...

An employee handbook goes a long ways. It should clearly state the probationary period, work related injury procedures, and not reporting to work consequences. This would have solved all of your worries up front. At the end of the handbook should be an acknowledgement page that the employee...

Jim, yes the monthly payment included the principal and interest as if it was a loan, the property taxes and property insurance. The lease stated that if the taxes and insurance went up or down, the payment was adjusted accordingly. This was the sellers idea. It kept him from having to pay...

Jerm to answer your question on leasing. I have leased before. It was likely better than most would find. 15 year lease to own. I had no down payment, first payment after 45 days after taking over. He even left some soap and towels. We structured it as if the seller was holding the note...
