    Vacs $3 - 5 minutes.. Should have done it sooner..

Some require payment if no wash is purchased, if customer has access to vacs without purchasing wash.. If they require a wash purchase then that helps ease the situation.. I...

    I would just go $2 and call it good.. I have not had as much success in revenue increase when dropping time, vs. increasing price.. You will immediately see a Huge increase when you count your money.. Just my 3 cents. Happy Car Washing..

    Best way to control pump for SS low pressure functions...

    Best way to control pump for SS low pressure functions...

    Hi. Yes, Rapidly is probably a better term.. However it is fast.. Let's say a customer selects Pre-Soak.. the product comes out at full pressure and throttles down to what ever you want to simulate a Low Pressure application, which is totally adjustable.. It also looks showy to the Customer.. I...

    Wow, I hate to say it, but that set-up seems to be all old time stuff, that are a Pain and High Maintenance...... Have you ever heard of VFD's (Variable Frequency Devices).. and running presoak, tire cleaner, bug off, etc through a high pressure pump.. (the same one for High Pressure Soap...

    Hi Mike.. excuse me for making error on % rates.. it bounces around.. 7.5 - 8%, I have had tokens since 1990.. Dollar Coins since Susan B.. the tokens have always been valued at more than a 1$.. My simple thought and observation is: people would rather not use coins.. in todays world, it's...
