I was going to post something before the show when we were headed there Saturday. I B…. Now I feel bad that I did not!
Show was great. Met Roz, Greg, and a few others. Great conversations with all.
I totally echo Greg and Roz’s assesments!
Chemquest booth was busy.
Hamilton had a great...
As stated - Graphene is definitely the top tier. I do a fairly good job explaining it to the Customers on the menu
like the $15.00 mark
Where do your underbody and dryer fit into this program
I m 10-12 -16-18
A brief synopsis
10 is wash and dry
12 gets underbody and tri foam
16 gets ceramic
18...
Been doing lots of testing.
settled on Prizm for tri foam
But before prizm and after hp rinse
I m spritzing the car with Plummett
Lp function thru the foam bar
That one last pass of low ph just sets things up well for ceramic application.
fyi
I think Roz is mixing it in with his tri foam...
Oh yea
I replaced it with an actual wash world part that had the wrap.
I would make sure it has some sort of wrap to protect it from rubbing as it moves.
never thought of not protecting it.
With the questionable parts quality these days I keep replacements in stock all the time. I de-test...
The downside to Ceramic- really good ceramic!
tree pollen does not stick to the car like it did with old hot wax.
🤦♂️
3 Customers today said same thing
When I pulled out with my truck this morning, within a qtr mile it had all blown off. Looked like I just washed it!
Fair enough!
I also offer a hi pressure Rainshield (rain…product)on the ss bays. Was popular until the ceramic showed up.
Applied nice - you could smell it everywhere!
It’s a nice option
Wax is old school
Go ceramic. My Customers are going ape over the new ceramic in the self serve bays I have used more Ceramic in last two months than I did wax in 6.
I will never have another wax product in the wash!
Had a guy today, lives 24 miles from my wash. Said I drive up here just...
Fyi
When the time comes and you get to replace the one in the Carriage under the hood.
Its the same way
That one is a smaller area to work in but the same principle.
Just moving the arch.
In my unit- all hi pressure hoses are by themselves in the e chain slot.
Makes it fairly easy.
I ve done this 2x’s
Once my wife helped
And once at 1:00am by myself
Its easier if you have a helper
Move the carriage to the rear of the bay so the e chain is as flat as possible
Pull old hose out
Begin sliding new one in.
Once you get hose to the curve
Move the carriage forward far enough to...
If you are in the Tampa area
Take a drive up to the Wesley Chapel area.
Lots of tunnels up there.
Mister, Tidal Wave, and more. We scouted those out 2 yrs ago when we were down there to see what was coming our way.
Lots to see!!
I get 3 statements from World Pay.
1 Crypto pay for ss bays
1 Hamilton Commander paystation
1 Hamilton APP
🤦♂️
I ve complained about combining these with zero luck!
I believe I pay a flat monthly fee for chargebacks.
$10. I believe- but I’ll look again
The nice thing about Cryptopay is that...
Same here as far as the lower washes go
I m not in a wealthy town either.
But getting rid of those older items has not cost me anything.
I use less water.
The tri foam is less $$$
Carnuba hot wax was expensive/ car
And my wash times are faster
= less $ cost per car.
Top wash package
(And this ought to stir some comments)
But its what the aggressive tunnels are doing, converted to an IBA
