    How are you all doing?

    First thing we do at my locations is spray all areas the public touches, vac hoses, hand-bay wands foam brush handles, etc. with a 10% bleach solution that we make. This helps protect us as well as our customers. We also wear gloves and wash our hands constantly.

    Anyone also own a self storage business?

    I looked into doing this. Very expensive and just like the car wash business as soon as you put one in everyone else does the same thing and over builds. I went the way of storage for RV and campers. Low cost to start with stone lot, no fence. Put 3x12 banner up and listed in craiglist...

    Lexair valve LW4000 part number?

    Take the air line off and put a few drops of oil in the line then cycle the valve. I have also taken them off and cleaned them put oil on parts and put it together. Sometimes these concepts work. For one of the valves I had to buy the repair kit and that fixed it.

    Some price advice needed

    One thing I have learned is to raise prices in late fall. When I would raise it in the spring or summer customers have a choose to wash at home. By the time spring comes around they are use to the higher price and just keep coming to wash.

    Soapy: What size tips are you using? What was the titrate? When you say Super Kleen and a surfactant/booster mix, What is the surfactant booster mix you use?

    Kleen Rite Soaps

    Do you add the purple passion to boost the strength of the mix or is it just for show? When using the purple passion does it turn the product color for a better show? Does it add a smell to the wash pass?

    Kleen Rite Soaps

    Don't get me wrong, I am very happy I went to correct, What a money saver. In order to get the right titration I would have to increase the tip to much.

    I have two auto's and were going to until the cost was over $6,000 for the parts and several thousand to install. Over $16,000.00 that I do not have with all the competition. My customers are familiar with the treadles so I plan on up grading them and going to pressure pads. With that said...
