I think that is Mark VII. Maybe IB Washingcars would know. I think he was the Mark VII guy on this site

I don’t want to kick you while you’re down but…the chemical issues you had for the first 9 months really shot yourself in the foot. Customers that came in once or twice and didn’t get a quality wash won’t be returning without some kind of significant incentive. For this I’d recommend giving...

It seems to work fine in the SS. No or very little scent but foams great and seems to clean well. I haven’t tried it in my IBAs Just note, the KleenPak line is very different than the other Kleen-rite chemicals that come in 5 gallon jugs/buckets

I’ve had customers repeatedly do it with a single wash. The issue was a bigger deal several years ago. I don’t know why but the problem has mostly gone away. I’d hate to sell a wash bundle and the have a customer do a chargeback. It’s an easy was to give away 6 washes really quickly. I’m...

Is that sarcasm? After nearly 25 of washing cars I’ve noticed that a small group will find every way to cheat the system at every business. They also don’t mind sharing what ever tactics they find with the other hooligans in town.

Have you encountered many credit card chargebacks when people buy bundles?

When Jim was slowing down and shutting down his business I had asked about buying his business but he said he already had a deal with someone else. I don’t know what happened but I’ve never seen a product that was as refined as Jim’s.

This one of the famous Uncle Sam’s ShurVend vendors. Jim (Uncle Sam) was a long time member here. I believe he is in his 90’s now but quite ill unfortunately. These machines are rebranded AMS vendors (Automated Merchandising Systems) that Jim would fortify with steel cages. The one shown is...

I haven’t updated the prices in my ShurVend vending machines in a couple of years. I went through the catalog and determined the per unit price for my machine. This analysis does NOT account for shipping and/or buy 3 get 1 free offers. I try to order from Kleen-rite when they offer free...

Which process is giving you the best cleaning? You are correct in that you want the PH of the car to be low. You can achieve this by using a Lo PH triple foam conditioner then applying your ceramic, hot wax curtain, sealer wax, and drying agent. I’d concentrate on the cleaning portion of...

It’s going to be several months before you can get a new Razor installed. I’d spend some time getting this M1 cleaning better. Is the issue mechanical, chemical or some other factor?

The thing I caution everyone about in regards to cleaning PVC panels is not to use too strong of a chemical. The HF will get it clean with the least amount of scrubbing but will also burn off the glossy layer that make the PVC easy to clean. Using a strong acid like HF will have the same...

Because when you ask a city official they decide to become tyrants and make it their mission to discover obscure ordinances to use to fine you.

I use 3M VHB (very high bond) tape to hang most signs. Mat clamps and wand/brush holders get screws/bolts depending on their weight or function. My FB holder just uses a Nylon anchor and a long Stainless Steel screw. Heavier items get a wedge anchor with either nylon spacers like what Jim64...

I’m a little late to the conversation. I agree with everything said above but will add my 2 cents. I think you may be well served by temporarily closing off 2 bays. Build a wall at each end and plywood over them. Just putting cones across will make them look broken, it has to be a wall. Paint...

Value of land, building and equipment is all that a conventional lender will loan on. If you can get a distributor to give you a value on the equipment and a real estate appraiser for building and land you’ll have a value to base your offer from. The SBA will lend on the “good will money” or...

Send her the phone number for the land fill. Those guys probably need a laugh too! “The guy at the Carwash told me you guys have my missing ear ring. When can I pick it up?”

Is this an actual cell signal or is it connecting to the Wifi on the property? I just have the antenna loosely placed in the meter box. I wonder if it would show some improvement if it double side tape it the antenna to the back of the faceplate

What is happening when a Nayax reader shows this message? I know it’s out of service but why? I have a customer that gets this message every few hours. I don’t know enough about Nayax to give him an answer. I suspect it is losing the wifi connection to their network

This location used to be a 4 bay SS. I remodeled to a 2/3. The bay pump I use as a pressure washer is the old 4th bay. It still has the soap and wax solenoids plumbed to the pump. I think I can power up one of the solenoids and inject the acid. I have a 20’ fiberglass wand that the...
