    Should I put a new razer in

    You should wash more than 10 cars per day. Just guessing previous owners were not putting out clean vehicles. A new machine with good chemicals as ShinePro stated would likely give you a nice increase in washes per day..

    Should I put a new razer in

    How many are you washing now? We have updated with a new automatic in a smaller population town and increased counts 15 to 20%.

    Nayax CC reader install

    Yes they do. I would keep time to price the same but would not start cards at $3.

    Nayax CC reader install

    With count up and $2 to start both cash and card my average card wash was $5.20. When I switched to count down with the 4 prices at $3, $5, $7 ,$10, $2 to start cash, after 1 year, my average card wash was $7.10. I should have started at $5 and had $12 or $15 for the top. Card revenue to cash is...

    Nayax CC reader install

    I was count up for years. Switched to count down with 4 price selections on the Nayax Vpos screen for customers to choose. My card sales increased substantially. Customers like it and I don't have to worry about someone forgetting to go to stop and calling me about max charges. Just food for...

    Closing on Sunday

    I think you let your faith make the decision and don't look back. You also know your business and daily volume. We have our washes unattended on Sundays but will go there for checking in. Good luck.

    Georgia Self Serve- lower profits than expected

    For us, switching from count up to 4 price selections resulted in card revenue increasing over 15%. Customers really like it. We recently raised these price points. New signage and adding new features, such as a foam gun may certainly help. Good luck!

    Have you emptied the hopper and refilled it? It could be something simply jammed at the bottom.

    Understanding in-line tips and ratios

    Could that be a .014?, which is 120 to1 or 1:120 Guessing you are using hydrominders and hose metering tips so you can find those ratios from dultmeier, kleenrite, or Tommy's catalogs or websites.

    Trash Can Recommendations

    On busy days I will set a trash can just outside my office/equipment room for customers to use. It provides a service and prevents abuse.

    Trash Can Recommendations

    Removed ours and it was by far the best decision we have made.

    Boosting a soap.

    Thanks Ourtown, we have done similar drawing Blendco hph and presoak 2000. Went away from low/high at a location because it was new concrete. Eyebrows are difficult to get and was thinking a booster may also help with that.

    Boosting a soap.

    Thanks Greg, I will check those products out. Agree on using only for a touch free. Hate to boost in a self service bay where applications aren't controlled.

    Boosting a soap.

    I would like to safely boost an alkaline soap. Also curious if a polymer based soap can be boosted. Coming up on the period where we get a few weeks where cleaning can be difficult. Every spring and fall we have it. To those who do use a booster, what do you suggest? In 30+ years I've never...

    Cashless…who’s done it and what should we know?

    We did make the move to not accept quarters at our automatic pay-station, just cards and bills. We use a recycler to return bills as change.

    Cashless…who’s done it and what should we know?

    Cash is working it's way out of my washes on it's own. Like you, cash is now 20% when just a couple years ago cash was over 40%. I still like a little cash coming in so I will keep it. :)

    Hexagon Ceiling Lights for Bays

    I use these everywhere at the wash. Bright and inexpensive.
