    Hog King Foam Brush

    I have always used Universal or Erie Hogs Hair. With the price increase, I looked at other options but have never tried anything else, to be honest.

    Electric vehicle charging stations

    We are thinking of adding level 2 chargers/80 amps at a couple of the Vaccum spaces I think most people would charge their car while vacuuming and washing their Dog. They typically spend 15-20 mins Plus I own electric vehicles so it would be convenient to charge my cars too. The top end Units...

    Air Dryer handles flying around

    I designed the holder to be installed and pointed at that angle so that when it is turned on it locks the nozzle in place and will not blow out. It took some trial and error with the size but have had them installed like this now for 2 years with zero issues. People will return them to the...

    Air Dryer handles flying around

    We installed the single motor and have had zero problems compared to the 3 motors set up we would constantly blow fuses and have motors go out. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-56458-air-shammee-ss2motor-super-motor-blower-only.aspx

    Air Dryer handles flying around

    The first day we installed the Air Logic nozzles they stole 3 of them since then we have been using these with a custom holder we made for them. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-36725-mr-nozzle-black-crevice-claw-nozzle-1-1-2-in-x-16-in.aspx $4 VS $114 and they work great.

    which float valve is better?

    I looked at the temperature rating on the Jobe valve and it is 140 degrees on the cheaper model and 170 degrees on the hot water model I will try it out the jobe valve has a lot more versatility in adjustment capability instead of just bending the metal rod to adjust the water level. Thanks for...

    which float valve is better?

    Do people still run cold water? with on-demand water heaters and immersion heater combinations, customers love hot water. I try and create the best possible self-serve experience for people and never cut corners on quality.

    which float valve is better?

    $231 looks pretty high for plastic when essentially each Float valve does the same thing we are just filling a tank with water. The Jobe does look cooler but how many cars do you need to wash to pay for it? Buy 1...

    Pick-Ups/Trailers etc.

    If they dump trash or mud in the bay I will have someone start cleaning it up right away while they are still washing 99% of people will feel stupid and apologize. I have found this to be the best tactic never say a word and clean up after them the looks on their faces are the best people have...

    Contemplating going Cashless?

    If a credit/debit card is used (customers can also use wash cards) The Mega Vendor will give customers a credit for the highest item sold in the vending machine (which is a $10 wash card for us) with no change and will charge their card for items purchased.
