We use Jibble for all our employees, it is free and really easy to use. Can be used on a computer, phone, or tablet. They have an app for it as well.

We run Simoniz at our wash.

Waxman, do you have any competition in your area? I think your wash is an outlier compared to most other IBAs, which is good in your case because I know very little IBA's that have customers willing to pay in the 20's for a wash. I am priced on the high end in my town with $14 top wash. Our area...

I am in a smaller, lower to middle class town as well for the most part. I am a big believer on having one wash at $10. Makes it really easy for customers to slam a 10 dollar bill in to the wash, and be on their way. If you have a lot of customers paying cash, with $11 be prepared to spit out a...

We are introducing graphene to our Kondor this spring. Looking for everyone's opinion on if I should apply it before the Ceramic or after? Ceramic and Graphene will only be included on our top wash. Any other recommendations on what you did when introducing graphene to your wash would be very...

Just wanted to let everyone know that Kleenrite is now a distributor for PDQ replacement parts. Hoping they start stocking belanger soon as well.

Woah surprised that person thought it would be a good idea to go through a wash with a overhanging rack like that. That is good that the customer was honest and didn't try to deny anything.

Our Worm gear on our Kondor KL2 is started to get worn where the key slot is on the worm gear. Does anyone know where I can get replacement for just the worm gear? Belanger quoted me two grand for the whole gearbox, but I only need the worm gear that is circled in the picture. I've heard others...

I think I might have one from our old goldline as well. I will go in our parts shed tomorrow.

Well I sped up the wash for the weekend, and decreased dwell times. So I wanted to report back. Quality did not go down at all, as cars were still coming out clean and shiny. Happy customers going through and we broke our weekend car record as well as our single day record by a large margin. 192...

We are priced 10-14 with the 14 being ceramic, but that is the most that my area is currently willing to pay. I know from past posts that your wash is premium priced with a pretty high end wash which I agree for you it wouldn't make as much sense. I am going to trying it for the weekend and see...

The environment changes year round so wouldn't you want to change the tactics you use to clean the cars to the same great quality outcome? Why do carwashes use bug off in summer and salt buster in winter? Because different environments require different set ups. The thing is the cars are much...

We buy everything from kleenrite. We buy some soaps that have the hazardous label on the site. We always order 1-2 pallets and have never had to pay for shipping.

Curious as if anyone speeds up their passes during the winter busy months? Some days we are lined up seven deep, and the salt comes off so easy that I'm curious the effect if I sped up the wash to be able to get more cars through in a day.

Thank you! ill take a look.

Not looking for anything specific just a ballpark, Ill probably put down 50 gallons since that is about what you have been averaging between your two washes per car. Thank you for your help.

My first thought was to call the manufacturer. They were actually kind of short with me when I asked, which I was surprised by and said they don't know the info, and would not be able to give me any type of ballpark range at all.

Hello, we have a Kondor KL2 attached to our car dealership and are trying to figure out the split between the two for energy and water usage for accounting. Does anyone have an idea of average water consumption and energy for a single bay automatic wash? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Coexist and make a profit yes, I don't see any positives of a tunnel opening right by you, so benefit I would say no. :LOL:

The club carwash by us was up and running in about six months. That company does not mess around, If they announced they are opening, I would see a slim chance that they wouldn't move forward with the location. Dick Nitro, focus on what you are able to change, don't get caught up on the tunnel...
