1/2 my business is cash & 1/2 is credit cards. I thought Coinless would cut into that but it's not. My car wash is busier than ever & lots of new customers. When we had quarter theft 10 years ago, I considered going to $1 tokens, but was warned by my local car wash supplier that customers...

Hi TMO, Unfortunately I don't know the history of my meters... :unsure: My car wash was built in 1982 and I purchased it in 2003, without any supplier notes. I know my vacuums are MarkVII, made by Livingston, as I found an old label inside. My chemical tanks were made by Magic Wand, and...

Hi Matt, we have a single ePort credit card reader (at the cash machine) where customers can purchase $1 tokens for everything. Switching to tokens stopped the quarter theft we had 10 years ago. Coinless is the perfect addition for us, as sorting & cleaning tokens has become very labor...

Hi Matt, here's 2 photos showing the WIFI devices (for the bays) connected in the pump room & custom Coinless signs in the bays. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Plan for the future... The metal on your brush boom is now weakened and will easily fold if this happens again. MEPs advice is spot-on. You can't always rely on 3rd party help.

For 15 years I was buying our chemicals from my local supplier. No scent. OK cleaning power. Contained surfactants and silicone. No modern polymers. Customers were satisfied with the cleaning ability, no complaints. I looked into injecting with a scent, but didn't have the room in my pump...

Lol! Maybe the loaded banana split scent was too sweet? I use Blendco chemicals, already infused with berry & citrus scent.🍋🍊🍒🍓🫐 My Foam Brush is citrus and a couple customers tell me "their addicted to the scent of my Presoak and Wax!" Those are berry. Scent leaves a lasting impression and...

Found a post online from November 2021, where folks were complaining about the gray-brown color of Mortons salt. They recommended contacting Morton directly and trying Diamond brand (if available in your area)...

Lol! He was probably cutting corners in other areas, besides his soap selection... It's a slippery slope (pun intended!) 😂

The measurements I posted are for the custom holder. We used a 6" wand holder from Hamel Manufacturing, purchased from Kleen-Rite.

Custom holder is 7" High x 9" Wide. We went with a larger holder so we could re-use the same holes from Diskin's holder.

I'm originally from Sunnyvale, and now own a SS car wash in Citrus Heights, near Sacramento, California.

Unfortunately, you're probably right... Damn, I knew it was too good to be true!! 😖

MEP001: You're amazing!! I am so impressed with your experience & knowledge, and willingness to share it with other operators!!! (y)👏:love:

I have 5 Air Shammee II machines installed at my car wash in Northern California. Too far from you. If you don't hear from anyone on this platform, maybe Diskin Systems could provide a local reference. When I was looking to buy in 2015, they referred me to 2 car washes in the Bay Area. I...

The jerk that was breaking into our canisters was a homeless drug-addict. Im NOT going to trust him with a key. He'd come during the night & use a grinder to cut off the locks. I told one of his friends to have him meet me on Wednesday at 10am to help me empty the cannisters and I'd gladly...

I would suggest searching this very subject on Car Wash Forum. This has been a common topic and there are a lot of helpful comments, suggestions and photos.

I'm grateful this had a happy ending, because of GOOD people (like yourself) stepped in to help. Kudos to you & your awesome customers! No doubt, they will tell the story of how they acquired "Cheetah" and I hope it brings you more business!! 👏😻

Cleaning vacuums has got to be one of the DIRTIEST jobs at my car wash, but for me it's the MOST important job! I don't see how vacuum filters coated with mud or thick layer of hair are going to "shake themselves out." It takes a stiff toilet brush to break it loose and pull it out. I clean...
