    Need to know what the setbacks, easements, number of curb cuts, etc. I would think it is possible. My lot is roughly the same size, possibly smaller.

    Triple Foam?? Please help.

    Some more advice, and this took me awhile to come to terms with. I own my business because I enjoy it. I have certain standards I will not budge on. If I cant do it the way I want to, I will sell it. However, if my customers are happy and I'm not, I have learned to relax a bit. If the...

    Mr. Clean Car wash

    Rapido Rabbit anyone? Maybe Kwik Kar? The franchised car wash is not going to work any time soon. Name brand goes along way, but if you dont have the right operation, name brand will give you that first wash and the bad operation will cost you the repeat business. There is too much to know...

    Splash n Dash/Quick Quack

    I heard that a local express exterior chain, Quick Quack Express Car Wash, in my area was recently bought out by a company I believe to be Spash n Dash from Sacramento. The old owners had a good thing going from what I could see. Just wondering if anyone here knows much about the new owners...

    Triple Foam?? Please help.

    What is the exact chem you are using. Is it the BCCCP, Low PH conditioner, Foam brush? They all act differently to water and air. What type of material do you have in the foam generators. What dilution ratio are you at. What type of mixing equipment? I also agree with Bob's statement about...

    Minimizing presoak use per car

    If I am understanding your post, the other washes are not Lasers. If so what type of equipment is it. Many factors are at play here. If it is a D&S 5000, I know it will use more soap than the Laser.

    Collage Football

    3344, do you park the cars in place of the athletes who are getting paid to do so. I wouldnt think a struggling college athlete could afford a nice ride but maybe things are different in OKC. Yeah, cheap shot. Come back to Lubbock as fast as you can. We can use another win over a top 10 team...

    Have you tried a total power shutdown. Wait a few minutes and restart. Connection should reestablish itself.

    RO Pressure/Leak Problem

    Have you thought about replacing the gate valves that control the pressure on the membranes. I have to routinely replace the reject needle valves, and about a year ago we had a similar issue and replaced the gate valves which solved the issue. I wanted to find a stainless valve but no luck. I...

    Pos?

    I have used DRB for over ten years. There have been problems, but nothing that wasnt handled quickly. I pay the monthly service fees, so I am no more than a few minutes away from a tech to either dial in and fix it or walk me thru it. My electrician has stated he likes the DRB Tunnel Control...

    Coleman Frag/Vac problem

    While doing my weekly walk thrus in the last month, I found that the Pina Colada on one of the Frag vacs has been running out. I dont keep them too full so I thought is was becoming more popular, so I started to fill it higher than the other two. I have know realized the Pina Colada runs when...

    Febreze in SS Frag/vac

    I was reading thru some older posts and found an idea that I hadnt thought of before but really love. To those of you who currently offer Febreze thru a Frag machine: Have you found any problems in doing this? Weather, etc. Do you use the "off the shelf" from a local grocery store or is there...

    coleman fragrance/vacuum timers

    Bandali, Kleenrite doesnt post the price of that timer. Any idea what it cost you? You have peaked my interest cause I am tired of dealing with Coleman.

    Reclaimed reclaim

    I looked thru some old posts and couldnt quite find a comparable post, so hopefully this is OK. What would be a good price for a used reclaim system. It is a 100 GPM, self cleaning filter unit that is almost four years old. I am somewhat concerned about why the seller is replacing a nearly...

    Car Wash Consultants- Good, Bad, or Ugly?

    Pat, I would agree with what I see your opinion of what a consultant is, a well educated specialist in a certain field. I wouldnt hire a plumber to install an electrical outlet, but the difference with a consultant is they provide an investigative service. Yes, an appraiser or engineer can be...

    How long have you been in the car wash business?

    We all sound the same. I have been involved with car washes for 13 years. Started as a high school kid working for full service tunnel, moved to detail, and even lube. I have managed full, flex and EE. I have also done some consulting and technician work for a local distributor. I currently...

    Bags of trash

    Is it not also illegal to dump the trash back onto the offender's property. I know it would be hard for them to prove and not likely they would admit they dumped it in the first place, anyone seen that episode of COPS when the prostitute calls the cops because the crack dealer stole her...

    A Gentlemanly Wager About Sen. Mccains Election

    Trust me, I complain all day long about not winning the lottery and yes I never buy a ticket. Whats the point of me making a wager, the majority would agree with me. Besides Im not the one trying to pull people into a sucker bet. I would think most everyone saw thru to your real intentions...

    HP gun problems-wand breaks

    That is the answer I was looking for. Thank you. I will double check the old wand brand vs the new wand brand. I did order the old ones from Kleenrite and recently switched to another supplier.
