Trying to revive this post. Has anyone else tried KR chemicals? I recently started using the lubricated body shampoo from the kleen-pak line for my friction washes with really good results at a really good price point (compared to my local distributors). Now I'm about to use the LO/HI ph from...

Thanks for sharing. I spoke to Everwash today and since I already have a unitec portal they can interface directly into it without any hardware install. No RFID tags needed. Just scan the QR code with the phone app. They can also interface directly into any device that has crypto pay without...

Mac, very interesting. How are you accomplishing the remote start? I usually create a code for them remotely into the unitec but that takes me 3-5 minutes. Do you use some sort of wifi enabled relay? Also on the touch4wash are you using it just for the IBA? I just recently heard about everwash...

Wow that even better. I was wondering about that. Pretty chunk of change for us and so far we’re doing ok unless we get shut down, of course. Thanks for the info.

That’s great to hear. If they foreclose on everyone the values would just plummet and they’ll lose money. Glad there’s some common sense out there.

If you currently have an SBA loan, like I do, your payments will be automatically deferred for 6 months. That would be a pretty good relief for those of us with debt service.

I had the same thought. Perhaps liquid Lysol as a low pressure function instead of say tire cleaner?

Like soapy said go directly to the SBA. They’ll even give you a $10k. It takes 10 -15 mins for the application. Pretty straightforward https://covid19relief.sba.gov/#/

Has anyone eliminated the meter stop button altogether? I was going to do this and replace it with "air dryer" to add the air shamee and also get rid of the confusion. However, the stop function always has a voltage on my ginsan whenever the timer is running so someone could potentially be...

I also have the occasional person that forgets to press stop on the cc swiped. I’m also baffled as to why the button is green!?? So I made a sticker that says Stop and has an arrow pointing to it. My main problem has been people waiting for the meter to reach $2.25 ( 4 minutes) only to press...

I ended up buying the maxx3 from Ryko ,a 3 brush hybrid to replace my touchless. I know most operators on this site are not fan of the hybrids but I was replacing a touch free machine and there are lots of fancy cars in my area. My wash counts are way up and the machine does a great job. Cars...

I currently use the windcave solution with contactless payments or the chip enabled reader in my unitec portal. Customers get confused because they're supposed to insert the card and wait to remove it until prompted. Most of them insert and remove right away which results and it being...

My fees are around 3.6% with Cryptopay. I have 6 SS bays and a vacuum with Cryptopay. Planning on adding another vac swiper and one to my new megavendor vending machine. The only thing I use the my IQ website for is to issue a refund. Sometimes people don't read the credit card instructions...

I have signs in all the bays asking for 5 star reviews if they like our wash. The sign also says that if they're not satisfied or something is wrong to please email or text me and I include my contact info. Like KleanRide ,I changed the name when I took over a year ago. The rating was one...

I'm also one of those that has a Unitec for the automatic on its own and crypto pay in 6 bays and soon in vending and vacs. I don't understand why someone hasn't come up with a unified solution for non tunnel operators... BTW I really like cryptopay except for the fees but I'm almost willing...
