    Mud Bog In Town - Would You Close?

    How about hiring a mobile pressure washer to attend the event and advertise for you? "Leave the mud where it belongs! Wash for FREE here, compliments of RED BARON CAR WASH!!" (and any other disclaimers you might want to add about your wash) A couple of banners on the side of the mobile...

    MOTHER'S DEFAMING AD in AUTOMOTIVE CONSUMER MAGS

    This is NOT an appology or a retraction! PC&D contacted Mothers, which issued this response: “We regret that some members of the professional carwashing community have taken offense to our advertisement. It was created as a part of a humorous, over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek ad campaign. We...

    Wireless Backup to Phone lIne Alarm System

    We had our phone lines installed underground to the inside of the equipment room. The junction box is inside, also. The lines are not accessible outside, preventing this problem until they get into the equipment room. JPRB

    Solid Tires for Touchless Machines

    I don't know about the car wash application, but there is a foam-like filling that I've seen used in construction equipment tires that keeps them from going flat. I does make them into a "solid" tire and prevents them from going flat. It is available at a local tire store, so you should be...

    Florida Owners - I Need your advice

    The dollar amount to replace the ACW should make this a Felony Property Damage, at least. If they got any money from it, Felony Stealing ($500 and up in Missouri). JPRB

    Unfortunate changes to the ICA expo

    I think I would prefer a Night Owl session. I don't do mornings! I signed up one year to go to several things and didn't make it! JPRB

    Hit and Run hillbillys!!

    Your credit card processor will have the full card information. You should have the transaction reference number. The police can use an investigative subpeona to get the owners information from the processor and the credit card company (M/C, Visa, etc). You might have to stay on the police to...

    Little Tree popularity

    I think I sold ZERO Royal Pine when I got my 5 column vendor years ago. I have Pina Colada, Strawberry Kiwi, Vanilla Pride, and at the suggestion of a police friend, I've added Black Ice, and it sells great. Also, Spiced Patchouli (sp?), which is a tie-dyed look, sells well. Most on the 'top...

    Night shuttle launch March 15, 2009

    I was lucky enough to see a night launch in 1990. It was awesome! I would recommend everyone trying to go see a launch. It's nothing like watching it on tv. JPRB

    Soap in the Hot Water Tank

    I replaced a float valve (for the rinse tank) and didn't have the right size fitting to plumb a short pipe down into the water. It keeps the water from splashing and foaming when it fills. Without the pipe, the water splashed against the tank lid (which is shared by the rinse, presoak and wax...

    Banks and bankrupt car washes

    Here is a news story on a locally owned bank and the stimulus package. Not quite on point with the discussion, but interesting reading! http://www.dailystatesman.com/story/1509497.html JPRB

    High Pressure Lines from Equip room to Bays

    I don't remember if I have ever changed a hose in the attic, other than one that was chaffing on a bend. Our oldest wash is 12 years old now. They are all braided hose. Not sure if any are stainless braid. JPRB
