    my magnet fell off in your wash

    Magnet problem We routinely remove support magnets and magnetic signs as we prep and give them to the customers clean and dry for safe keeping. It doesn't take much effort and goes a long way towards a positive experience. The ribbons can also be place around a rear antenna or partially...

    TunnelWatch Problem

    Intermittently, for about the last 30 days, there have been characters displayed on our TunnelWatch monitor. It is not unique to any page, i.e. totals, daily report, service counts, etc. all have the same problem. DRB suggested a loose connection to the monitor. These were checked and tightened...

    Mercedes Fabric Stain removal

    We recently detailed an '02 230 Kompressor hatch-back that had cloth seats. A rear headrest, the rear seat back and floor carpet had what looked like coffee or cola stain on them. The front passenger seat also had black rimmed water-mark type stains (oh, would pictures make this easy so much...

    Car Wash Vs. Laundry

    Interesting perspective. Do you speak from the dubious pleasure of being involved in both car washing and laundromats, or just a interested observer? Our area used to have limited municipal water and marginal wells, so there was a need. The water district has expanded but doesn't include...

    Cleaning Tokens

    Pick up gallon of dishwasher scale remover at you local restaurant supply house. Dilute according to instructions and then add or subtract according to need. A 5 gal. pail works well, especially with lid - solution can be stored and reused. I have a smaller bucket with drain holes drilled in the...

    Car Wash Vs. Laundry

    Those preferring car washes must be in favorable climates. Seems to me that clothes need to be washed, regularly, regardless of the weather and how much $$ is left after a fill-up. If the grass looks greener,........probably a lot more 'fertilizer' involved!

    Has Anyone Done Away With Free Vacs?

    Get multiple coin acceptors on the new vacs and order some unique tokens that can be given out as promos and a way of thanking your best customers for their loyalty. They also work well as refunds. We've avoided the Free thing, except as outlined. So far, so good. Mr. Clean

    Help on sorting quarters and dollar coins

    How long have you been using dollar coins? Are you using gold dollars exclusively? You shouldn't have 90% quarters with d/c's. I currently use both and .980 tokens and have found it easiest and probably fastest, too, let the 303 do the sorting. I drop into buckets rather than bags. I have...

    Powerain Touchless IBA

    Galen is right on! This machine is enticing Except for the antiquated activation system. We put the Virtual Treadle on our Laser a few years ago and the response has been fantastic; the problems few. Still haven't perfected keeping them centered in the bay - maybe some parking curbing parallel...
