I was going to laugh but 10x10 is big enough to work under. I might give it a shot until I can build something bigger.

I think I could probably build one for $1k-$2k so cheaper than that.

I need to find a way to create shade for two work stations, first one is a vacuum station for one car, second is a interior clean station for one car. I just need enough shade for the vehicle and the workers in this Texas heat. I'm looking for something cheap that still looks decent, I stick...

I'm currently paying $150 for a 5 gallon, what are some cheaper options that still put out a solid end result. I'm also thinking about doing the air guy to put tire shine on, does anyone do this? Does this save time and $? Thanks!

Good point!

Sorry I meant a true supply house, the ones that sell the chemicals to the Car Wash Chemical companies. Like Univar.

Right, I want to make it from scratch. I hired a guy once that was a chemistry grad student. We bought >$1000 worth of equipment and he started mixing it for me in the equipment room. We were going to make a separate company of it but he ended up taking off for California and I never took the...

We are using stinger Lemonicious for the Ryko. We just got the laserwash tuned up and the soap working so need to either find the right chemical for that or make it. We are a full service hand wash and detail car wash so my guys are hand washing all the vehicles before they go into the LW bay.

I wonder if I could find a chemical supply house that can help me out? I found some recipes online but would want someone to walk me through it and give me pointers.

Does anyone make your own soap? I would like to at least make my main detergent. What do I need to do that? What if I just want to add suds and scent to make what I'm buying now last longer and give a better show? I have a Ryko friction rollover and an old laserwash 4000.

Hello, I'm looking to add an exit rinse arch. I want to have a drying agent product and then a spot free rinse 12-18" after. What brands of arches provide the most bang for buck as far as quality and appearance. I want to spend less than $2k, $3k at the most.

I was thinking about connecting 2 old canister vacs to one 1.5" line. Has anyone done this? What about doing 4 canisters but having multiple lines that have hangers with rubber stoppers that block the suction when not in use. Kind of a central vac system? Has anyone tried this?

I like this option! thanks!

Hi, I have an older style car wash that used to be a PDQ double laser wash. I think it was built mid 90"s. The concrete is stained and won't really clean up with a pressure washer. Is there a top coating that I could apply to make it look new? What about the garage floor treatments, are any...

Hello! I have a Ryko thats 2-3 years old. I have not cleaned the covers correctly and it shows. How do I get the covers back to like new condition? I have been told wall banger and a pressure washer? Is this the best technique? Are there resurfacing options?
