    What type of meter boxes are these?

    If the boxes are structurally sound a new decal goes a Looooooooong ways in freshening it up. I would personally look at retrofitting with a dixmor timer to update it.

    Little Trees discontinue some Trees

    I got the same kit, I'm testing the flavors as well. I know i don't like the gold, smell like the cheap colognes they spray in department stores if you ask me. I have to replace coconut and will most likely go with the Caribbean colada but haven't given it the test in the truck yet.

    White streaks/spots when temps are under 45°

    Not sure of your setup, but it be condensation on underside of the roof in the bay. As temperature increases the condensation burns off and doesnt drip onto the surface of the car. I know it happens from time to time in my self serves especially since i run hot water.

    Check valve replacement as well?

    I usually replace check valves as needed, when one fails for a bay i usually go ahead a replace all of them for that bay. If i had it that far broke down id probably go ahead and replace just to not have to fool with it a week later after tampering with everything.

    Stand alone dryers pricing

    Id say youre breaking even at best at $1. Id look at it like this. If you go from $1 to $2 and half the people stop using them youre making the same money at half the cost. If youre not worried about profiting off of this and using it as a bone to throw your customers for marketing or...
