The lack of scale buildup on the walls of the car wash was interesting to me. I put a set at one of my car washes (in addition to the softener) and at my house (no softener). I'll let ya know what happens. The magnets were less than one bucket of wall cleaner, so I thought it was worth a try...

I'm still operating a couple well pumps with my foam brush setups. They have braided plastic hose, instead of copper. I've replaced a couple of the presoak pumps with flojets, and will do the same when/if the well pumps fail on the foam brush. They are Pro Equipment (Super Wash) setups from...

I changed out my triple foam guns to a tire foam brush. I've seen them used more than the triple foam guns ever were.

I raised self Service prices last year to $1/minute. Most of my labor (time) and trash comes from the self service bays. I haven’t raised my IBA prices (yet), but chemical prices have gone up substantially the last couple of years. My decision was also based on my other expenses- natural gas...

Check with WashCard. I use their system and have been pleased. Their equipment may be able to bypass the Paystation entirely.

I’ll check mine today to see what I have.

A partnership can work out just fine. About 3 years ago, my business partner of 23 years, and I, separated on good terms. I bought his share of the business. For about the last 7 years, I was drawing a wage to maintain and upkeep the washes (service & trash technician), and then we each drew...

800psi from a Touchless automatic did this. The big black spot under the mirror was there prior to the wash. I asked him why it didn’t take the paint off of the entire car. He said, “that door has been repainted.” I told him that was the problem (bad paint), not the wash.

Here are our two methods.

I agree that it's silly, but I also think it might make people realize that trash is not free, and the car wash is not a trash dump. I have had good luck with my local police departments tracking down people who have left bulk trash.

I like the look of the new one overall, but I agree with Waxman that the font is hard to read. Using all caps is hard to read in most fonts. Try caps and lower case mixed, and maybe a non-shadowed font. Putting the functions in order is a good idea, too. But I'm also intimidated by the...

I recall a coin operated car wash trash can being advertised years ago. I thought it was silly, then, but I'd probably buy some now! Does anyone remember those, or have them?

I've been running mostly Cat 623 pumps for years. They are great pumps!

I just changed out my Triple Foam Wax guns to Wheel & Tire Cleaner brushes. I used a foam brush handle & round head brush. Biggest improvement and ADDED USAGE I've seen in a while. Lots of people are using them, and rarely saw the triple foam wax guns being used. I simply T'd the low...

I have installed several Cree brand parking lot lights, as well as several Cree brand canopy fixtures in the bays. Very nice, and have a 10 year warranty. Most of the Cree fixtures came from Sunbelt Car Wash Services http://sunbeltcws.com/lighting/ Also, I converted several metal halide wall...

YOU DON'T!!

Maybe a large screw extractor?

Possibly name it after a local or area school mascot.
