    Need advice on 2 step Pre-Soak for LW4000

    I don't see how you're not going to get a car clean with the two presoaks you're using if you apply them in the correct order. If you are still having problems check your water. Water hardness impacts the cleaning ability of the soaps. There are kits you can purchase from Kleen-rite to check this.

    Need advice on 2 step Pre-Soak for LW4000

    In my experience the way you are doing it will not clean a vehicle very well. You need to purchase a titration kit and check each one of your preasoak ph levels.

    Jarvis 320W Scottsdale retrofit LED

    A word of caution regarding LED lights... they do not perform well in hot environments. Higher temperatures reduce light output and also affect the life of the LED bulbs. A 2 year payback is great but if you have to replace the fixtures every 2-3 years it's not a great investment.

    Offer 3 or 4 Automatic Wash Packages & Menu Design Ideas

    Pricing should be based on service offered. You're going to find that not only will some of your $9 customers move up but some will move down. What did you accomplish? Or maybe they will go to one of your competitors for the services offered on your $9 wash.

    Low /PH HIGH PH OR HIGH PH/LOW PH?

    I would like to through this out there... sometimes you are not paying more money for the chemicals but you are paying for the knowledge on the chemicals and the set up. It's not a "no brainer" getting a clean car out of a touchless.

    Low /PH HIGH PH OR HIGH PH/LOW PH?

    That would depend on the chemicals you are using. Check with the soap manufacturer or supplier and they will tell you.

    Glass Building for IBA

    My experience is its a huge advantage. The glass buildings are going on 7 years old and they look as good as the day they opened. 1. Hire a glass cleaning company once a year to clean the inside and outside of the buildings (very reasonable cost). 2. Make sure your window rinse system is...
