Well I went on a trip to Jackson Hole Wy. Got there and had so much ice on truck and trailer thought I would rinse it off and try the local Carwash that we always go by and I always thought looked pretty good. First trying to get into the place is a little tight but that is okay,you build on what you can. Get the trailer in the bay, gather up enough quarters to get it going. Turn to HP Soap has pressure, no soap, no hot water. It is about 18 deg. outside. Finally gave up after my hands about froze off. Later dropped the trailer came back thought I would give it a try on the truck to get the ice off the mirrors and just wash the windows so that we could see. Well tried another bay thinking maybe this one would be different but wrong. No soap, no hot water,no wax. Went inside the gas station that is part of this wash and talked to a kid working at the counter. I told him they didn't have any soap, hot water or wax. Well he said to me they used a soap that you couldn't see. I couldn't believe it. It kinda caught me off guard. I just looked at him and said I own a Carwash and that was a bunch crap. I walked out to my truck got a business card and gave it to him. Told him to give it to the owner. Well I haven't got a call probably never will. When I got in my truck my wife asked if I had made a new carwash friend and I said probably not. This is the ownly self-serve in town.I came back to my washes and just looked at them an thought about how good they are compared to that wash. Sometimes you need an experience like this to realize that you are running a good wash.
