    Kleen Rite Soaps

    Are frigging kidding me, why is it KR fault! When we order pallets of soap etc. from KR we get the “Pro” number, this is the freight lines tracking number. You can request a 30 minute delivery call, but that’s probably not going to happen. We do get a call telling us that we have a delivery...

    Why not use a 24 volt solenoid valve and float switch or float ball.

    How much for your vacuums and time in bay?

    We gain about $500 in quarters so it would be wide for us to go all credit cards. I could see turning off the bill changer and going all credit/debit, but still accept walk on quarters.

    Replace cat 310

    We’ve never had a CAT pump head wash out. What are your guy’s theories as to why the pump heads wash out at some washes and they don’t wash out at other car washes. Why is that?

    Looking for a simple way to deliver Low Pressure chemical using High Pressure pump

    We are big believers in the KISS methodology. All that fancy equipment PLC’s, VFD’s, bypass lines, extra solenoid valves etc. are going to break and need to be replaced or serviced. All these fancy systems are great but when it comes right down to it, we are just washing cars.

Awesome Ultra Deluxe Spring Bouquet Dish Detergent. As we fill the 30 gallon drum with hot water we...

    Replacing stickers on vacs

    Why have stickers on the vacuum to begin with? We took all of our stickers off the vacuums and polished the vacuums so they are nice a shiny. The only sticker on the vacuum is the price decal and a your on video decal. I think everyone knows what vacuum at a S/S car wash is.

    Ballpark figure for hooking up 3 gang blowdryers + 1 Air Shammee

    I don’t know how you guys can say that the bill was excessive when you don’t know the scope of the project. How many man hours were used on the job? How much material was used? Where there any panels, sub panels, motor starters etc. used? For a contractor to say it’d be about $3000 is absolutely...

    Customer lying and trying to get a refund.

    Over the years we've seen them all. It's the nature of the car wash industry, every scum bag seems to find there way to the local car wash thinking they are an easy mark. We NEVER give a cash refund.

    Quarter wrapper supply?

    We roll our coin in bank supplied wrappers for the simple reason it is deposited in our account right away. If we put the coin in a bag it wouldn’t be credited to our account until it goes to the main vault, which is a Brinks/Dunbar facility and it could take up to 10 days before it credited to...

    Bill Acceptor Cleaner Cards

    All of the Mars conversion kits we’ve seen use a downstacker validator. The RNS changer we want to put a Mars validator in was made in late 2002 and has a plate on the inside front wall of the machine that you can remove and move up to plug the XE hole so you can use an upstack type validator, I...

    Microcoin QL and it's harness corrosion.

    You shouldn't have any problems with using dielectric grease on the connections inside the coin box. You must have customers like us who think they'll get free time if they stick the nozzle into the coin acceptor slot and let it rip and flood the coin box.
