    This is a start up conversion of a wash. There aren't any tax returns available that would have any relevance. I am an accountant and I am going through putting together a business plan as we speak. Also, we are not going to be absentee owners. Either my father-in-law, wife, brother-in-law...

    I did a search and even the nearest tunnels are more than a mile away and pretty pricey like $7-$10..... As far as location goes, we will say north/northwest chicago.

Daily Traffic Counts My Location = 31,500 @ 30mph Competitor...

    Where can I find where to buy a "soap hose?"

    It's hard to explain, like not the ones that SS have. I am talking about a commercial version of one you would attach to a garden hose. I have been looking around and can't find what I am looking for. 3 different hand washes I have been to use them, I guess I can just ask them where they get it.

    Where can I find where to buy a "soap hose?"

    I am referring to those hoses used in hand car washes that shoot soap onto your car. I am guessing that the soap is in a concentrate form in a tank behind the scenes and when the water is turned on from the hose it mixes with the concentrate to make a very sudsy soap. Please advise. Thanks.

    JMMUSTANG, I would like to, but since this economy has gone south, my father-in-law (who runs the shop by himself) has gone from doing 10-15 cars per week to 2-4 cars per week. It is almost cheaper for him to stay home. When we first asked him about the wash idea 2 years ago, he said he would...
