Sooner - Kleen Rite Products but No Pre Soap Or HP soap - Instead used their low PH Soap for both - Had Gelling issues with their PS and HP Products. Credit Cards with count up all bays and Vacs. Hand Held dryers in All Bays. Bill Accepters - All Bays.

Look for a successful wash a few towns over and ask the Owner / operator if they would help.

Had had Sonny's , Belanger and AVW. Sonnys 901 - doe a great job but noisiest on the car and every year seemed to have to replace Pitman arm, Motor, gearbox or something. Belanger whip across - Decades of use with little maintenance but still noisy. AVW quietest and only maintenance was...

Why not FRP? Stainless is expensive and most anything else will rust.

So, you pay the taxes as well and will also need to absorb any tax increases? What sort of increases have you been experiencing so far?

The story is not complete. Is it a gross or net lease? Meaning is the rent supposed to include real estate taxes or are those separate? When was the rent last increased. Around here a tax bill for a decent size business property is $50K. Some recent Tunnel Builds are at $200K

When it was cold outside I heated many cuffs with a Mapp Gas Torch. Just be careful.

I played classic rock. No one complained.

One of my current Mantra is that it's easy to buy a car wash. Not so easy to operate.

My flojets have a check valve that is part of the brass fitting that clips in to the pump. They can go bad and you have to be careful about that but once you un clip it shuts off air, So with a valve for the liquid supply we just close that, unclip all 3 hoses from the old Pump, attach the...

I think it's perhaps some new / newer vehicles that "Shift by Wire" rather than a mechanical linkage from the shifter to the transmission. I can see it being some engineers reason of safety but I can also see a downside beside the car wash environment.

Perhaps Solenoid sticking slightly open and cycling power causes a hard open/ close. If you have a solenoid for each product to each bay in the ER pull the hoses from the exit side of the solenoid to see if any are leaking when they should be closed.

Yes, Dan - the wording I used was imperfect when I said "Keyboard" which is really not necessary to accomplish the goal which would be easily make multiple choices and accounting for usage. A common example of the "Keypad" commonly in use is the type we see for Spiral Vending machines. Of...

I recall Coleman at one time had a metal telephone type Keypad in the Bay. It would seem this type of thing connected Via a CAT cable to an environmentally controlled cabinet in the ER room could b made fairly durable. At the end of the day it's always not if you van do it, but what will...

You are focusing on the lead car being stationary. I have seen at a fast line speed when the vehicle is stopped and then the roller travels a couple feet and impacts the stopped car it will roll ahead at a speed faster than that at which the conveyor is moving. Agreed that the overall speed is...

Park to drive usually requires depressing brake pedal. Not so much - Neutral to drive.

One innovation that I have been surprised did not make it's way into the SS industry is to use some sort of computer / keyboard control instead of rotary or push button selectors. Running Cat 6 cable from the Bay to the ER would seem to allow for both numerous in bay options as well as...
