Yes I know... I'm still flattered & made for a great photo op. :ROFLMAO: I know Jason & Travis @ Quick Quack & they probably sent him to my wash. My others customers did a double-take & thought it was hysterical!!

Thank you Earl & Randy! I purchased 10 pre-filter bags for our 5 Doyle vacuums. Purchased from Amazon. $20 each. They are made out of a polyester weave that allows air flow. The big debris sticks to the bag. To save time, you can just shake out the pre-filter. The thin dust still gets...

You know you've got a good car wash when your competitor is ALSO a customer!! :ROFLMAO:

I have all including Google. Citrus Heights Car Wash. Social media is a necessary part of doing business in California.

My customers & I were having all sorts of network problems with the Coinless app on Wednesday 6/5. Either the app was NOT turning on, or NOT turning off!! 😣 Customers were upset. I was on-site and couldn't access the Owner's Portel. I thought it was my internet, and cycled power to the...

Yesterday I received this email from Scott Caplan (CEO and Founder of EverWash)... It sounds very encouraging about the future of Coinless!! 🤞 Dear Kimberly, We hope this email finds you well. We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you. As of May 13, 2024, EverWash has...

I love any day a cool hot rod, new Corvette, Ferrari, Maclaren or Lamborghini pulls into my car wash. Their throaty exhaust and slick body lines puts a smile on all my customer's faces. I encourage them to stay and tell them THEY make my car wash look good!! :D

Thank you for the update Slash007. Interesting about Coinless. I really hope Everwash picks up support and will continue to develop the app. We've been using it since September 2022, and usage has increased exponentially. 14% of our customers now use it and love it!! :love:

I have a very clean & modern 5-bay SS. From 2020 - 2023, my wash prices were $3 for 5 minutes. When the dirty and poorly maintained SS car wash up the street from me raised their prices to match mine late 2023, I quickly raised my prices to $4 for 5 minutes. I kept the same time, to not mess...

HeyVern, do you use the Blendco in your SS wash? I use Blendco's Super Shield in my SS and customers have been very impressed with the shine & durability. I just called my Blendco rep and he said the Foaming Ceramic is a great product but 2-3x the cost of the Super Shield.

When I was researching a mobile payment app for my 5-bay, 5-vacuum SS wash in 2022, I called Beacon, PayRange, Touch4Wash, Washcard. You can search this Forum by my name and read more details, or send me a PM. Here's a quick summary... I ended up going with Coinless and have been quite happy...

I've tried glue (JB Weld, plastic formula) but then it made it difficult to replace the nozzle down the road. Now I use a 3" long, narrow machine screw (10-24 with a cap nut). Drill through the cuff & hose. Insert screw & tighten cap nut. You can also use a little Loc-Tite (removable style).

Oooh, I like that idea Randy! (y) What kind of material is your pre-filter made of? :unsure: I'll Google it to and try to find something pre-made.

Hi Earl, not sure who your question was addressed to? I have 5 vacuums.

Drug activity. Unfortunately, I've got a drug house 2 doors down from my car wash & police are hesitant to do anything about it! 😖

I wanted to give an update on buying 5 new vacuums... I looked at IVS, JE Adams and Doyle. IVS and JE Adams use the 4 vertical sock filters, while Doyle uses 2 pleated filters (like a shop vacuum). I called Doyle's customer references and they were very positive! I would rather clean 10...

New Car

Sadly some people just don't care. I'm in Northern California where the eclipse was about 20% and still cool to watch. I was at my car wash, excitedly wearing my eclipse glasses, and sharing them with customers!! Next total eclipse is in 20 years - 2044!!

No, I got a waiver too. I put together a Recycling Plan for the city, showing how we recycle each of the items. I have a dedicated guy who has a key to my dumpster and removes the bottles and cans 3x/week. The city inspected my dumpster and approved it! I personally recycle clean cardboard...
