    PLEASE HELP issue w/ PLC & I dont know how to fix it

    Look around the equipment, inside the pay station box for any manufacturer information or model # you can find. Google anything you find, looking for an on-line manual or technical support #. I'm not familiar with PLC or Pro Suite Program. Also, if you're doing this as a favor for your...

    Air logic or Air shammee

    Yes! That's the Mosmatic 2” in-line swivel coupling. I purchased it also from Kleen-Rite (Part #BOMP60323). It swivels much easier & smoother than a rubber vacuum swivel. Pricey little bugger. I paid $132.27 each 6 years ago.

    Air logic or Air shammee

    Hi Noob, I purchased the Mosmatic boom elbows directly from Kleen-Rite (Part #: BOMP60314). They don't swivel. You'll need to call them for current prices. 1-800-233-3873. Their elbows come with a heavy duty hose clamp, but we still welded the elbow to the Mosmastic 3' extension (Part...

    Hose stop on Fragramatics machine

    Due to ongoing problem of being pulled out, 5 months we installed an additional hose clamp. I had my handyman crank it down tight! I'm surprised it got pulled out again. Probably got wrapped around a customers tire, like last time. The hose is very long & vulnerable if they don't re-hang it...

    Hose stop on Fragramatics machine

    5 months ago I replaced the rubber hose on my Spray Fragrance machine, and was disappointed to find it pulled out, again! Too new & expensive to replace! Used duct tape, teflon lubricant & flat screwdriver to feed it back inside. Created a hose stop with a 5/8" rubber "cable" clamp. I was...

    Price increase % on P&L

    I just adore you guys! THANK YOU for all your helpful replies!! 🙏🥰 Here's the short answer I received in a DM from Mike in Atlanta.... If you only raised the wash bays by 33% then only that portion of the total income should increase. Perhaps the interested party is under the impression...

    Coinless Mobile

    I'm so disappointed that EverWash isn't offering better support for the Coinless app, or pursuing new customers. We implemented the Coinless app in September 2022 at our SS wash. So far, over 3700 customers have downloaded it and their feedback has been very positive! Usage is increasing...

    Price increase % on P&L

    In January 2024, I raised my SS wash price from $3 for 5 minutes to $4 for 5 minutes. 33% increase. I'm in the process of selling my car wash and the potential buyers and my real estate agent are telling me that this 33% price increase should be showing at least 33% increase on the Total...

    Labor…. Or lack there of!

    The world is divisive enough, can we please keep politics out of the Car Wash Forum?

    Labor…. Or lack there of!

    Good question & helpful feedback! Definitely something to consider... We have a very busy SS wash, with 5 trash cans and trash has become a MAJOR problem! From construction debris, bags of household trash, soiled diapers, moldy food, soiled cat litter, paint cans, etc. Here in California, I'm...

    Hi friends, I was surprised to see this lovely post. I appreciate your compliments and good wishes. 🥰 I'm doing good and staying healthy. Running a SS car wash for 21 years is starting to take it's toll on me mentally and physically. When I purchased the car wash in 2003, it was run-down...

    Serious question

    Great job Carwashking!! Love your story and the successful outcome! Here is Citrus Heights, our police are pretty passive about the Airtags. 6 months ago, I had a friend in Citrus Heights have her luggage stolen from her car. She was headed out of town and had an Airtag in her luggage...

    Serious question

    Hi Debra, I applaud you for speaking up about the rude reply to your original post. This forum should be a safe place for everyone to post a question, and learn from each other. Members may not always agree with the posts, so they should take what they like and leave the rest. Good for you...

    Trouble with Air Shammee hose

    Unfortunately, adding a cloth sock would increase the likelihood of scratches as it would now hold onto the grit/dirt/sand in the wash bays. And as the dryer hose dragged across their paint, would surely scratch it! 😖 I just hope that your customers would give you the benefit of the doubt...

    Trouble with Air Shammee hose

    We use Kleen-Rite's brand vacuum hoses and they don't scratch vehicle paint. I tested it myself. It may leave a temporary plastic scuff, but it buffs out easily with a microfiber towel. I had a guy tell me a couple months ago that it scratched the bumper of his black truck, which was already...

    What type of material is this car wash brush made of?

    I don't see customers paying for this. Best option, build a dog wash & incorporate some brushes for the dogs. You would need an attendant to ensure customers & dogs are using equipment correctly.
