    Tripple shine issue

    I would change hydrominder tips and go 1 size bigger on them and lower the air pressure a bit. The color looks a bit drabb, which would indicate a weak mix, and the surging on my system is usually air to high. They can be very finicky to get right, then when you do something changes.

    Credit Card "All In Fees"

    I have talked recently with Cryptopay about adding an option to be able to charge a sales tax fee. I do a decent business at my two sites with my Cryptopay and would love to be able to check a box and add a tax amount to the transactions. If we all get together and keep pushing Crypto to do this...

    Spot Free Water R.O System

    Any idea of how often this is supposed to be happening, or if there is a way to manually flush the system? I never seem to catch mine in action.

    Wash bay coin acceptors

    Microcoin Ql's have seemed to be working out very good for us. We have a load of IDX MA800's, the old ones are good, but the 20 or so I have gotten over the last 2 years are absolute "JUNK" and IDX could care less about providing decent service to anyone that has spent the money on them! They...

    Triple Foam for Foam Brush?

    I have triple foam brush and triple foam guns at both my locations. People love them both, if you have count up credit card you will see people spray every inch of their car with the foam guns. And thats usually always right after they foam brush everything and rinse that off. People in my areas...

    proforma

    Would you care to share your breakdown of how you can build this for $325k all in? I have done 2 rehabs with all good used equipment that I paid .12 on the dollar for and find it difficult how it could be done? Not trying to be negative, just being honest. In my area I have seen guys run into...

    STA Graphics

    I got a bunch designed and made up with them about a year and a half ago. Not the smoothest of transactions, but everything was fine and they make a heavy duty coleman faceplate decal. I would recommend not getting the cutouts, they are very difficult to line up perfectly and get the decal laid...

    What to use for grates?

    I think the same grates are a little less expensive from TSS Sign.

    True triple foam vs changeover system

    I do triple foam splatter guns and triple foam brush. Customers love them both! Oh yeah, I pump out the suds big time! I get tons of comments about soo much soap. Only downfall is occasionally someone complains about hands and clothes getting stained! Ill take that over not enough soap complaints.

    Ballpark figure for hooking up 3 gang blowdryers + 1 Air Shammee

    So you were given an estimate for $3000, but billed $8000? So then he had you sign something prior to the additional $5000 in charges explaining why so much more? If not, I think he would have a tough time justifying just billing more then double the estimate!! If you dont have an estimate, you...

    Tax Refund for NYS Car Washer's who were audited

    The letter my accountant received from the state said that we must collect and pay sales tax for any/all transactions at my facilities!!?? Why a self serve vacuum is taxable is beyond me, but thats what we have been doing.

    Customer lying and trying to get a refund.

    I have rarely ever give a cash refund, I will always give anything else to people no questions asked. Vacuum problems, pull up to the vac, drop a couple tokens in and hand them the hose! Bay gave you a problem pull in and lets see, turn on and hand them the gun, a vendor failed? What flavor...

    Totaled IBA

    If you have his tag # did you not call the Police? He will be at the least charged with hit n run! If I had this info I would be sure to try to ruin his trip to Sturgis! Causing $150k in damages is a major hit n run charge. Good luck.

    Idx at402

    Good luck with anything from IDX anymore. Everything I have of theirs I am changing out to other manufacturers as everything they have been doing the last 3 years has gone down hill fast. I used to really like their MA800's, but they have become so undependable they are useless. Anyone...

    rejuvenating plastic vacuum domes

    I have about 20 Coleman Combo vacs in service. I took out the fluorescents and placed screw in sockets in place of the fixtures. I used cfl bulbs and they have been lasting very well. The last vacs I refurbed I used some screw in led bulbs in and they have so far been working well.

    Molten Shield Lineup

    Has anyone with a Touchless IBA tried Blendco/Dubois new Molten Shield Lineup? Just wondering how it works compared to the Rhino lineup. If its a good quality clean it wouldnt hurt to have the branding for marketing to customers.

    Lease new automatic

    Ascentium rates are a little on the high side but they will do leases for new or used carwash equipment and or sites. They are very easy to deal with.
