FRESH PAINT......keep your bollards and the front of the wash with that freshly painted look. This has helped us more than anything. We also installed two of the flags on poles in each island in the very front of the lot.

I have a 25 year old 4 bay SS wash in the mountains of NC. It was built with a closed loop system that worked perfect when we purchased the property. The last couple winters I have noticed the coverage of the bay has reduced each year. Does anyone have any knowledge how I need to pull the old...

Has anyone purchased and installed one of Hydro Sprays Underbody Systems yet? In our area everyone is constantly trying to keep the calcium chloride salt spray washed from underneath their vehicles. I swear if you get quiet enough you can hear the rust eating away. I would like to know how...

I had a terrible problem for the first year we were in business. I have the containers in each vac island with a chrome domed lid over each one. The containers are 55 gallon barrels cut in half so a couple bags of household waste and people begin stacking it up on the islands. Keep in mind that...

Fatboy you are exactly right. That is the old Vilas Car Wash, now known as Wash Me! Auto Wash. My father and Charlie were great friends. I actually purchased it from a friend here in Boone that purchased it from Charlies Estate. My wife and I took over a little less than two years ago anf have...

OK, that helps tremendously. I do indeed have a weep system. Check valves make sense. I will let you know. Thanks again

I have a standard old style 4 bay car wash.(can be seen on my profile now I think) I am having some issues and need help with a few of these. When #4 is in use water spits out the holding tank overflow tube inside the mechanical room. It does not do it on any of the other three bays. Another...

Not Rodney Carrington I have wanted to see Rodney for several years and finally got to see him during race week in Vegas. He was appearing at our hotel inside the MGM Grand. My wife called and got tickets and I mean a table on the front row. Needless to say I have never been more disappointed...

More Change Issues We had this problem once and it went away but we noticed larger bills together and saw some people on cam at different times taking change from our changers and leaving without using our facilities. The other night I glanced up at the monitor in the mech room and noticed a...

PTZ Cams I purchased mine from dvrmaster.com. They were around 600.00 each. Outdoor, infrared, 27x optical zoom. I ran black iron pipe from just underneath the eave and ran it straight out to the island and used a clamp to secure the pipe. I used the iron pipe to eliminate someone easily...

PTZ Cams I wouldn't put cameras up if I didnt have a couple PTZ (Pan,Tilt,Zoom) cameras. They can be programmed to sweep back and forth and slowly zoom in and back out, then pan the other way and zoom again. Or I can operate it from my Iphone anywhere in the world or with a joystick inside the...

AMEN Brother

Sorry I thought the can sit inside a surround and had something around it hiding the sides of the container, that's how mine are anyway. Thank God we have the class police to keep everyone sharp.

Don't let the PD fool you by saying they wont do anything because they live too far away. The law enforcement around here wouldnt do anything about it if they lived next ddor to the car wash.

Take either a 15, 30 0r 55 gallon drum and cut it for the height needed. You can use a sawzall. Just mark it with a marker all the way around it. I have used them for years. I also got me some large rubber bands and put five liners at a time in each container and the rubber band holds the liners...

Thats the whole problem with today. Everybody wants in on the regulation fun, the city/town, ETJ's, annexes, county, state and US Govt. and any other groups that feel like they need to regulate. What they do not do is think about us, the operators. They do not think "what are the reprecussions...
