3 tire Cleaner
4 HP Soap
5 Fom Brush

When we first started adding foam wax to washes I would order them this way:

Tire/Engine
Presoak
Soap
Foam brush
Rinse
Trifoam
Wax
Rinse
Spot free

The idea was to get customers to rinse before the trifoam AND before spot free, both for their benefit and for extra income.

I think you can reach a point of literally no return. Most of the people who use a self serve should not be driving, procreating, or voting. Giving them 12 options will just confuse them more. There is a self serve close to my house that was put in by Ryko. It has 14 options. There are four different types of waxes, protectants, and coatings. I can't figure them all out.

Wheel Brush or undercarriage would be my top choices. Possibly tire inflator.
