I have 2 brackets if anyone needs them

I’ve seen 1 wash done in gray. I didn’t like the look at all and it didn’t help hide the grime. My thinking was the same as yours. I would have been rather upset with the appearance after spending thousands. I have bright white Extrutec. I wash the walls with Stone Soap ReStore in the spring...

I am using High Ph as the high pressure soap in my 2 bay SS. Good show, seems to clean well and the high dilution makes it last a long, long time. I also use Aquaguard for clearcoat in the SS and in the Razor. Good results and also lasts a long time. I couldn’t get the Blue Liquid Blaze...

Here are some of the pics you requested. This was a 4 bay SS built in 2004. 2 bays were extended in 2018 to accommodate 2 Razors. I’m hoping to replace paving this year along with some landscaping improvements. Place will look almost brand new

My dumpster enclosure is built from the same stuff. Kid fell asleep diving past the Carwash, left the roadway and hit the enclosure going fast enough to twist the frame. Only some superficial scratches on the plastic. I haven’t had anyone hit the building yet… Builder tells me they use...

I think 10 days for just the walls is probably something an experienced crew can do. That’s to get the walls set, rebar installed, everything braced and square/plum. Site work, foundation, pouring the floor and roof are additional time. The crew I use have been building Royal Building...

They used to video record all the seminars. You may be able to watch the one you missed later. I used to get the best information from meetups from members of this forum. Sometimes we would met for coffee before the seminars. Maybe some one can organize a meet up!

Waxman makes fun of me because I have stacks and stacks of plates at both my locations and another stack at my house. I can’t be bothered to bring them to the PD even though that’s certainly the right thing to do

A you post the satellite pic and street view from google maps?

All the old guys here keep disappearing! Happy for you Earl. Is this retirement or are you continuing with your other endeavors?

This article was sent out by Hargerty this morning...

How much money are talking about? Can’t be a huge sum. If I have to spend an hour arguing over $100 I’m on the losing end. It’s not worth my time or aggravation.

Oh, no. Not the BBB! What’s that worthless organization going to do?

That used to be called “hot shot”. Looked at them years ago but never pulled the trigger. I’ll have to take another look. What tire/wheel chemical are you using that is safe for all wheels?

Jack, is that the heated tire cleaner from WW? I know Hot Shot makes a version. Are you happy with it? I thought about building my own system based on an open loop pump and triggering the application with a floor tape switch. Probably easier to just buy a pre-engineered unit. I’m not as...

What timer and coin acceptor do you have? Does this only happen when a coin is inserted or does it happen with the bill acceptor (if you have them)?

Tell us a little more about your operation. Tunnel length, number of employees, car count, traffic count on the road in front of your wash, any price points. Do you have a P&L from the previous owner showing that this is a profitable business model? How long does it take to process a...

I think I’d use the remote to move the bridge and trolley around the bay while the HP pump was turned on from the maintenance menu. Is this on HP wash (water only) or does it happen during any other HP passes you have?

I think I went last year in Nashville. I didn’t spend enough time at the show to justify going again. Not enough for SS/IBA guys to see. The industry and certainly the ICA is focusing on Private Equity investors and Express Washes. I remember the early 2000s was focused on SS when there was...

I have Lorex and Hikvision. Lorex is the budget friendly system but is just as good as Hikvision. My neighbor at one wash has WatchDog. He gets good pictures of the Carwash from a camera mounted on the side of his building that I’d guess is over 50 yards away. If I had to replace my system...
