    Car Jumps Track - Thoughts

    Sounds like a Panicky Pete behind the wheel. Some people lose it when the car slips a roller and try to take over. If it were mechanical, video would show the tell-tale front to back rocking motion. Also, if it's gonna go, it's not going to wait for a second roller. In your case, I think it got...

    Foam or Cloth.(it grabs a mirror once in a while)

    Undamaged mirrors should make it thru the wash process without a problem. Are you sure they were ok before they went in? Old GM pickup mirrors may look fine but break up internally and flop down after a wash. $400! We figured out that turning them in wasn't the answer and turning off our...

    Customer's Hitting The Brakes In The Tunnel

    That's what the cameras and signs are for. Establish that they have been notified and prove they hit the brakes. It should give you a leg up in any litigation and help you draw support from your insurance company.

    Customer's Hitting The Brakes In The Tunnel

    Just be ready. Have proper signage and cameras to see brake lights. They're just panicking is all. It should dissipate over time unless you got a roller coaster going. ;)

    mitter problems

    If the mitter is pulling the wiper away from the window and damage occurs as a result of the blade "T"ing with the arm, they do sell plastic sleeves that prevent the T.

    Mitter cloth is marking cars

    Apparently, algae blooms on the cloth from untreated reclaim. We switch to fresh water to 'starve' the algae then spray cloth with acid and blast with pressure gun. Regular bleaching keeps it at bay but I'm looking for a better solution than that.

    Trash Cans

    Went from 8 cans 24/7 to 1 can only during operating hours. Some complaints, a little garbage on the ground occasionally but alot less garbage in my dumpster.

    Modern Marvels and Cloister CarWash

    Prepare to be wowed , Waxman. CWONJ went there 2 years ago. Flat belt conveyor is gone in the tunnel but everything else is the same. Nice layout, beautiful grounds and lobby. Mike Mountz is a great guy. Ask him if he has approval to use the underground tanks.

    Cheap cheap mirrors..

    Just dodged a bullet on one of those Grand Am mirrors. A woman came around with the driver's side hanging off. Seemed alright going in. She just wanted us to duct tape it up so her mechanic son could fix it later like the other one. 3 sheet metal screws drilled in from the outside where the...

    U.S. Marines under attack

    I can justify or condone anything but the insipid need to televise it.

    U.S. Marines under attack

    Agreed. Can you say Abu Ghraib? Another PR nightmare that only makes it worse for other personnel over there.

    Customer's Interpretation

    I tell them: For the best protection, get the top package every time as the wash process removes some (or all) of the protectant with the bad stuff it's accumulated so far.

    Wheel wash bucket, brush and soap

    Why not just vend Simonize wheel cleaner from Kleen Rite? No brushes, buckets or chemical for people to steal or abuse, and a little coin in your pocket.

    Rear wiper damage

    We bag it to keep the blade from "T"-ing with the arm. It's more for the customer's peace of mind than it being a problem at the wash. And they always ask for it at the last second so you don't have to use tape on a wet , soapy car. Tell them that the bag is reusable so they can take a little...
