I would not mix anything with that product at all, we use simoniz foam additive for our presoaks and it would definitely hinder the product, make it not as hydrophobic, mess with the ph, and leave spots on the vehicles. Simoniz foam additive is for products before the HP Rinse, not for waxes and...

Where are you located? That is awesome that your market can support that price point

Eric, how much you charge for your top wash? We are sitting at $15 top wash with ceramic and graphene. That is in line with what everyone else is charging in our area.

We have graphene in our top wash already, thank you for the tip though.

We do professional detailing, we even tell customers that pay for a wax that it isn't a permanent treatment nor does the product state it is, and their is no guarantee on the length like a professional ceramic treatment is. This guy is also probably using the cheap easy apply liquid wax in a...

We are thinking of ditching our hot wax this winter, and putting in a ceramic in its place but not advertising it as a ceramic. Reason why is that when we run the hot wax followed by the ceramic the cars have a weird rough feeling like they are reacting with each other. Has anyone ever done this...

We are a 24/7 location, and most of our dumpers come when we are not their in the early morning or late night. I am sure it would be much less of a problem if we closed at night, but we get quite a few washers throughout the night since we are a manufacturing town with lots of different shifts.

Have you got any negative feedback from your regulars when you did this? Most of our regulars have little to no trash at all since they keep their cars so clean to begin with.

We have signs posted around the VACs/Trash Lids. We have a camera with cameras all around our property. I am going to take the cans away for a month and see what happens. Our regular customers never abuse the facility it is always the random people who just pull up drop off their junk and drive...

How often do you have to empty your trash bins at your VACs? We have 30 gallon drums by our vacs, but before and after hours people are abusing them like crazy, I watch the cameras and people will constantly drive up quick dump a whole 30 Gal bag off and drive off. I reported a couple of the...

We have only been buying from Kleen rite for the last 4 years. Have tried the majority of their products they carry over the years. Like in most cases you get what you pay for. If you buy the cheapest stuff Kleenrite sells then you most likely will get those results. Kleenrite concentrated...

We have been waiting years for this day in the Midwest for Kwik trip to finally raise top package and stop undercutting everyone else and that day has finally come! Their new top wash added graphene, but they have no ceramic in sight. Finally we can bump up our prices without customers saying...

No, we ended up just going with Simoniz as we really like their ceramic already.

I should have updated everyone, I was able to get it all fixed yesterday and we are up and running great again. The power cord that goes to the solenoid block rubbed up against an area in the carriage and wore through the insulator and part of one of the four wires. Got the wire repaired and...

Yes there is but I don't think that has anything to do with the problem as when I replace the fuse everything works properly and I can manually switch it from one side to the other and hear the solenoid opening and closing with no issues at all, but when I run a wash it blows the fuse.
