I have a 5-column Little Tree door, in great shape. When we replaced the LED display to the LARGER DIGIMAX style, I replaced the door with the LARGER display window. Door measures 38 1/2" High x 21" Wide. LED Display window measures 3/4" High x 1 7/8" Wide If you can use, please message...

I've tried glue (JB Weld, plastic formula) but then it made it difficult to replace the nozzle down the road. Now I use a 3" long, narrow machine screw (10-24 with a cap nut). Drill through the cuff & hose. Insert screw & tighten cap nut. You can also use a little Loc-Tite (removable style).

Oooh, I like that idea Randy! (y) What kind of material is your pre-filter made of? :unsure: I'll Google it to and try to find something pre-made.

Hi Earl, not sure who your question was addressed to? I have 5 vacuums.

Drug activity. Unfortunately, I've got a drug house 2 doors down from my car wash & police are hesitant to do anything about it! 😖

I wanted to give an update on buying 5 new vacuums... I looked at IVS, JE Adams and Doyle. IVS and JE Adams use the 4 vertical sock filters, while Doyle uses 2 pleated filters (like a shop vacuum). I called Doyle's customer references and they were very positive! I would rather clean 10...

Sadly some people just don't care. I'm in Northern California where the eclipse was about 20% and still cool to watch. I was at my car wash, excitedly wearing my eclipse glasses, and sharing them with customers!! Next total eclipse is in 20 years - 2044!!

No, I got a waiver too. I put together a Recycling Plan for the city, showing how we recycle each of the items. I have a dedicated guy who has a key to my dumpster and removes the bottles and cans 3x/week. The city inspected my dumpster and approved it! I personally recycle clean cardboard...

Wow, I wish running a car wash was as simple as cleaning and repairing! 😜 My SS car wash is open 24 hours and located on a very busy corner. I've owned it for 21 years now, and it's busier than ever! I have 2 employees who help me clean and handle minor repairs. This is my assessment of my...

Hi Rudy, sounds great! Would you be willing to post a photo?

We use 5 32-gallon blue BRUTE plastic trash cans and buy from Uline. They match our blue & yellow color scheme. To discourage theft & prevent blowing away, we attach with nylon coated metal wire, attached to block wall. We drill 4-1" holes in the sides for rain water to drain. We wash the...

I use CAT 310 pumps. Last year we replaced one that was 17 years old. We stay on top of maintenance, oil changes, replace water seals & valves regularly. What's the problem you're having with your General pumps?

Love it! MEP001 would be pleased (may he rest in peace). These topics never grow old. A Easter miracle indeed! ❤

Yes, I agree it's always something... :sneaky: I read a recent quote that "when you buy a car wash, it's not just a business but a way of life!" :ROFLMAO: After doing this 21 years I have to agree. I'm a very active hands-on Operator and run my business seriously.
