I'm sorry... SO SENSELESS!! 😖

Dear friends, our local on-line newspaper ran a great article about the sale. The new owners took over on Tuesday 12/16/24 and have already installed the Cryptopay Tap & Pay system in the bays, and have plans to replace the concrete with an epoxy coating. The Pastor's are a GREAT family -...

Lol! They must be some "bitchy parents, kids, and teachers" for her to want to clean out vacuums! :ROFLMAO:

If you're tired and looking to get out, I would do it sooner rather than later! By July 2024, I felt I was too tired to run my car wash and too tired to go through the long process of selling it. I hired a real estate friend, who recently sold his car wash to handle the deal. He received 15...

After fixing up and running my SS car wash for 21 years, top-notch, I'm exhausted. I just signed the papers yesterday to sell to a local business family. They own a large gas station, express tunnel, mechanic shop, rental truck business. We met through our soap salesman and they run their...

The only phone # I have for Fragramatics is 800-643-1574. Have you tried reaching out to Kleen-Rite to see if they can provide tech support?

Not sure who you're trying to reach, but I just call Chip or Pat at Lauel Vending directly.

Yes, you are right and I'm glad! :) As a SS operator, I rely on Laurel Vending and Fragramatics products. If Kleen-Rite hadn't bought them, hard to say what might have happened to those companies. Maybe they would have closed, or been bought out by an investor or another manufacturing...

Just read recently that Kleen-Rite acquired Fragramatics in October. The result is "shorter, more reliabile lead times, and improved customer experience." Not sure if their phone number or contacts have changed. Fragramatics phone number is 800-643-1574, ask for Kelly Garrison.

Hi Randy, I'm glad to hear you're scaling back, though it took a shot across your bow to get your attention. Sorry to hear about your stroke & grateful you're healing! Thank goodness for your employee & wife!! Stay well & balanced my friend, you're an asset to the Forum! 🥰

I've had good success using a heat gun & synthetic lubricant to loosen the stuck locks. Don't torch it, just enough heat to warm it up.

I tried the Uber Propulse hoses in 2019 and they twisted horribly! 😣 Although they're 4000 psi, they don't have the weight & rigidity of the steel-braided Continental hoses. I had a swivel at the HP nozzle. Went back to using the Continental ones. I like to try new things... sometimes it...

I was buying the rubber bumpers from a local car wash supplier, but they were getting expensive, while the rubber quality was going down. I couldn't find the same ones from Kleen-Rite. I did some research and found an unlikely alternative... rubber feet for stereo speaker cabinets on eBay...

I have a boom and was using 15' straight 3/8" hoses. But they didn't reach the longer vehicles, and the cusomers were yanking on the hoses. So, I bought longer straight hoses to reach longer vehicles, but then they were dragging on the ground (tripping hazard). A few years ago, I switched to...

In the past 3 years, the hose was pulled out twice. Last time it got wrapped around a dually truck tire. Didnt stand a chance. Fragrance hose is very long & the customer didn't re-hang it properly. The beveled part of the hose is only 3/4" long and we threaded it in as far as we could with...

Not turning the rotary switch, then asking for a refund when there's NO soap coming out of the Foaming Brush! 😖 I texted the customer this same photo, explaining how our system works. Clueless!!

Excellent tips and trouble shooting! If the streaks and spots only appear when you use the blow driers, I would focus on the driers. Could they have accumulated dust inside? Do they have an internal filter that needs to be cleaned?

No experience, no knowledge, no support, no financial backing??? I think you're in a 'no win' situation, my friend. While it's admirable you're trying to help customers, you're putting a lot of unnecessary stress on yourself. Sometimes being the adult means knowing your limits and when to walk...

It gets old that they're so quick to blame & make excuses, but NOT take responsibility! 😖
