That’s what I’ll have to do when I sell my washes!

This is why self serve start up prices need to be about $12 for 4 minutes.

No. it’s part of the job and always will be.

I have a friction tunnel and use Simoniz. Hot Wax, Ceramic Sealant and Carbonite are ridiculously good. These products applied to a clean car yield a showroom finish. Regular customers who have this package applied regularly don’t need any additional hand applied waxes or sealants to...

I think most operators use chemicals that have to meet the following criteria: 1. Outstanding performance 2. Availability - the ability to order and receive in a timely and cost effective fashion 3. Support - the ability to have knowledgeable reps that can help to dial in and tweak the...

Do you have flash dry blowers right after the last rain bar? In washes that do, this will mitigate moisture entering your primary drying area.

Are your blowers timed too?

Keno is right. Probably no reason for a price increase if a Razor is on its way. I’d wait for that to increase. Even if you made some modest improvements, it sounds like you just can’t command much in the state it is in and until you are done with your upgrades I’d probably just freeze the...

I don’t know who you had but Washing Equipment Technologies used to have a branch in Pittsburgh - not sure if it’s still there or not. I’m not affiliated with them and not suggesting them - I’m just commenting on a place I know of in Western PA. Good luck to you.

Remember that when it’s time to replace the machine - it might be a good time to replace your distributor too.

I operate a tunnel and do not have any dyes in any chemical. I have white foam for everything and I let the lights do the work for the show. I can have just my regular entry arch foam colored with the lights if I want to market it as a “Lava Bath “ without incorporating another chemical...

Is it a Southern Pride Turbo Wash? Does it have rotating wands on the side and top of the trolley and does it travel around the car on an overhead oval track with three rails?

Have you checked your water quality? Don’t get too hung up on the look of presoak if you are happy with the cleaning. More air will draw less product, more foam additive may mess up you mixture. If it is cleaning well, it is covering well - and that is the most important thing. It might...

Will your claim include lost revenue while the automatic is closed?

Love this quote, unfortunately it’s our reality.

As long as you can still get the job done, ShinePro!

Are you looking for a distributor or manufacturer? I know you said distributor, but a lot of operators like a specific brand or maybe a few brands and then find a way to get those products either via shipping or delivery etc.

The automatic bay looks like it was originally build longer when the building was constructed. Do you have any idea why they added the covered area at the entrance as well?

At first blush, I see two bays are drive in, back out - I’m not a huge fan of that layout. I also see one of your bays is uncovered. I’d cover that last bay that is open and that would allow too to get rid of one of your back out bays. Not sure if you have room for the 8th bay on the end, but...

That sounds to me like people are just trying to place blame somewhere to get a free fix.
