We have tougher building codes in Idaho vs. Georgia but the last wash I built in Idaho was a 4 ss bay and double automatic. It was 1 million back in 2003 and would be at least 2 million today.

This one happened today. Bays were all full and people waiting. I see one bay on the end not being used so I go out to check it. It is full of cow manure a couple inches deep and all over the walls. I was just getting back from lunch and did not see who did it but from the cameras I could see no...

I had a guy last week call and said he needed a refund. Seems he had used the credit card swiper in 3 different bays. He read the sign that said $4 minimum on the card swipers. He said he figured that was like a cover charge and that he could not use the bay until the timer worked its way up to...

I use a wide wood chisel and then some #m adhesive remover that I get from a automotive paint store.

Sad to see him gone. He was a long timer and his wisdom will be missed.

I would start with low fume muratic acid diluted 2 or 3 to one with water. Apply it to surface and let dwell for a minute or two then scrub and rinse with a soft brush. It might take a few applications to get through the heavy build up. You can get the acid at Home depot or lowes. I have found...

Credit cards in the bay would be the first thing I would do. I added credit cards 15 years ago and have seen my CC slowly become 80 percent of my ss income. I had tried a token vendor with a CC prior and no one ever used it. Once I put CC in the overall time and money spent increased. People...

If you don't offer credit cards now I bet you would increase by 50%. Most people do not carry cash anymore, Younger folks rarely do and they are the majority of your business. I run 80% CC ub nt SS bays.

Pipe dope with blue monster over the top. Less messy that way.

If you are talking about the black plastic trim on the bottom you could use a cerecoat product to dress it up and hide the scratches.

RDM fixes them and specializes in car washes.

My Rykos are touchless.

First thing I would do is check your meter for accuracy. Take a 55 gallon drum and fill it with water while watching your meter. I once had a brand new city water meter that read 3X the actual water usage. No way a friction should be using the amount of water you mention.

With 10 express tunnels now in my town of 70,000 the automatic business is not what it once was but the SS sales have been real strong. Having slack time in my auto bays I am thinking of offering a Spot free rinse and dry cycle in one of my automatics for the SS customers. After they finish in...

When it finally rains and helps clear the smoke business will be better. Also the smoke settling on the cars and then the rain will cause acid rain of varying amounts so it will be critical to get it off cars as soon as possible.

I have always just used Bleach.

Quick detailer might hide the spots for a while. Try taking some white vinegar and apply to a cloth and gently rub on the spots. The acid in the vinegar should remove the spots then rinse with water.

I would guess hard water spots from a sprinkler.

I just talked to them 10 minutes ago on first call. 888 920 2646

I built a tire shine machine that worked well but ended up with a mess around the area it was installed and eventually drew in the ricer car crowd. They would meet at the wash to shine their tires but stay for hours not spending any other money. I think it intimidated the regular customers so I...
