    Texas dirt in Ohio!

    Id like to have the dirt rain happen about 4 times a year, both washes have been packed for 4 days from 7 am to 8 pm. Then been about like a normal busy day from 8pm to 11pm.

    Flojet Conversion

    I usually dead head my flowjets, meaning they have air to the pump at all times and the bay function turning on (opening the solenoid) allows the product to flow and the flow jet just keeps pumping until that function is turned off. In your case if you wanted to you could put a 120v normally...

    Crypto Tap / Crypto Pay on IBA

    I'd Call Standard, They just released a newer version of the GXP (Guardian XP) that uses cryptopay, nayax, etc. Im sure they should be able to set you up. Might be some $$$ to boot but id say that they could probably help more so than cryptopay.

    Crazy customer - now what?

    When i close for several days like that, there are about 10 cones in the entrance with a rope put across the entrance as well. Then i have cones at each end of the bay. This last time i closed i even bought caution tape and ran it thru each bay to really make them have to work to be able to...

    Self Serve Wash for sell across from my existing business.

    I wouldn't waste my time on 42K annually. Insurance, Personal Property Taxes, Real Estate Taxes, and the Utilities will probably eat most of that up.,

    Environmental Inspection Scam - GRS Group

    Ahhh...makes sense. Is the 27k for all the properties on a phase 2 or just however many that is "high risk"

    Environmental Inspection Scam - GRS Group

    No help here, but you gotta save a whole lot of interest to recoup that 27k. If it saves double that might be worth it, otherwise id look elsewhere to see about a refinanance even if its a little higher rate than whatever this GRS group has given you. Id find a local bank and try to deal with...

    Is this Self Serve a Good Buy ?

    Thats usually the way it is. My favorite is you have an orange cone out front, your in the bay working on something on the ladder and they pull up, move the cone and then try to pull in like they own the place!!!

    Is this Self Serve a Good Buy ?

    Clear Coat Failure - Wet Sanding Range Rover Front Bumper

    1st this is a car wash forum. 2nd I strongly recommend this to be taken to a body shop repair/paint facility, as someone who spent 20+ years in the auto repair business it is pretty apparent to me that this is above your skill set with the pictures and information you provided. 3rd not to be a...
