LOL I am just showing that there are different areas with different markets. Where this guy is looking, at $1.00 per SF dirt, there obviously would be other depressed businesses.

They do in my area. Self Service revenue is better than anytime since I've been in this business, going back to 1990.

I use dosatrons for all my chemicals, waxes, and trifoams in my automatics. I started using them in 2010 and haven't had any problems with delivery. So far it's been set them and forget about them, knock on wood.

I used HA for a while, but went back to HPH. I thought the HPH with 2000 applies better on the car, and for me was more consistant. I also saw a bit of a difference in suds. I do a 2 step with xxx ahead of it.

A couple weeks ago I had broken chunks of granite countertop in my vac trash cans. Filled up enough that it was too heavy to lift, so had to dig them out. I also had brake shoes, rotors, and a desk broken into small enough pieces to fill 3 trash cans. I am adding a new vac area at a wash and...

I subscribe to his channel. Really like his videos.

Working on the fly-thru car wash prototype. Having a hard time getting it off the ground....

That would take a tall chunk of ice clinging to the wall. Not buying it.

I mix a little blendco hph (1-2 drops alkaline) in with my tri foam conditioner. Still get great color and coverage. Do the same with the foam brush in self service.

I will shut my IBA bay down if the high temp for the day is under 15 degrees and low is 5 or lower. As for the self service bays, they stay open 24/7.

Is your wash between the vet hospital and the florist and across from gamestop?

I have washes using a single high ph and washes using a 2 step low/high. Soils/hardness/rural/customer base are all factors in cleaning vehicles. As a rule from my experience you should see a better result with a 2 step process. Window mask is tough on any wash, even friction. My suggestion is...

At roughly $70 to $120 a nozzle depending on brand they are an expensive set up. I have used them for about 6 years and like them. However, I think an imeg will also do very well at a higher pressure. The top Turbo nozzles will last longer aiming down than the sides aiming sideways, and sides...

I am not keeping the price low to draw in customers at the one location. It was my first wash and I simply choose to, plus I don't give a lot of time for that .50. I have vacs that are $1 and $1.25 for 3 minutes and fragrance/shampoo for $3 at other locations.

I will fess up and admit that I have 50 cent vacs at a location. I have kept the vacs at 50 cents since the day I opened the wash in 1990. Small town courtesy that I choose to do. 2 minutes time and they are always busy.

I have tried, and continue to try different company's chemicals. I still like and use Blendco for touch-less performance.

Contact Josh Westhoff at Ver-tech. I think he will suggest Apogee high ph with lightning low ph to compare with Blendco products. I use Blendco products. I did try a small sample of Ver-tech products after the Heartland show a few years back and they worked well .

I agree with Mac.

You could, if it is needed, upgrade everything possible at your wash to make it crystal clear to the other person that he would be competing with essentially another new wash with an already established customer base. I would let him know this will happen. You could also, and maybe you already...

I am attending and will arrive Monday evening. We are staying at Treasure Island. I will try to make it to the Hash House Wednesday evening.
