Cleaning the pvc walls is not a fun job. I just cleaned 2 bays (walls and ceiling) last week. It took 4 hours for each bay to get them to look like new again. I should have hit them every time I sprayed the floors down. Lessoned learned. I used Clean Wall from AP formulators. Get gloves...

Check the vacuum bags.

Greg, hijacking the thread a bit but wanted to comment on your landscaping in the pic. Looks great! Any more pics you can share? It's the next phase at a wash for us.

RIP MEP. Sad news. We've lost a ton of knowledge on this board.

Kimberly, I see your wash is on the historic Lincoln Hwy. So is mine! Anyone else?

Prayers sent MEP.

34 years for me. Grew up just down the street from a car wash and wanted my own business and to have a 2nd source of income. Sons are involved now and we have branched into the equipment side so I am in it for keeps.

A small town we drove thru had these business names.... The Laundromat, The Dentist, and The Car Wash all on the same street. Simple and sort of clever.

For what it is worth I have used Nayax as count up for bays and vacs for a couple years. Recently switched to having 4 prices on the Nayax for customers to select and use count down. I won't go back to count up. Customers love it and no worrying about max charge when a customer forgets to turn...

My experience is my pickier customers and those with very new vehicles prefer touchless.

Those prices do look good if choosing to go that direction. I have mixed feelings on a monthly membership, in part because my washes are in smaller populated towns. I just installed a new unit and am considering offering prepaid credit cards at various dollar amounts for a loyalty...

Same as Kimberly hot and busy here!

We use Nayax vpos in our bays with 4 price selections on their face for the customer to choose. Switched from count up to count down and we are extremely pleased with them. We use count up on the vacs.

Can you reset them? I would pop the cap off the brine fill tube and check the float to see if it may have stuck in the up position. (from experience) I had that happen to me a while back. Try to manually run 1 at a time through a cycle.

Nebraska, about 22 hours west of Waxman and 22 hours east of Kimberly. If your lines are long send them my way.

A few years back a Robin built a nest on top of a center post of my Automatic wash. And yes, the babies survived while growing up with almost 40 cars per day being washed within a couple feet from them. I am quite sure a rainstorm never bothered them as adults!

Stacking requirements are "in addition to the vehicle being served" in every area I have encountered. I would confirm with local zoning.

Watched a customer using the foam brush on the inside of his doors and then on the dash of his truck. I didn't stay and watch whether he did the seats but did see that he ran high pressure rinse for several minutes. Guessing he finished up properly with spot free.

We have a tough time for a short period every spring and fall. The answer for us (for the most part) is to either add a 2nd pass of low or increase the dwell before high. Haven't had any luck switching to high/low. Blendco products.

The extra building is a problem. If it was removed the location might have a chance. As of now the wash is secondary to a garage.
