We have decided to offer newer cashless options while keeping the cash options until and if the cash payments dry up.

Well Kimberly, I am even more embarrassed that at my age ( a bit older than you) I also did not know that. Thanks for bringing that to the forum!

I apply A.P. Formulator's Clean Wall, let it soak for a minute or 2, and follow with my bay gun. Works great. If you go without cleaning for a year or 2 like I did at a location you may need to hit it twice or even scrub it a bit.

I have used dosatron pumps for several years in self service and in bay. I really like them. I supply them with either city water pressure or a tank and jet pump. You should get years of service.

I would follow the advise of asking for a month's numbers and also personally watch the site and count cars. I know of a wash or 2 with the same type of ownership. They pull and pocket money. Works while they own, and likely hurts if they sell.

We tied different LED colors to the wash functions.

Cleaning the pvc walls is not a fun job. I just cleaned 2 bays (walls and ceiling) last week. It took 4 hours for each bay to get them to look like new again. I should have hit them every time I sprayed the floors down. Lessoned learned. I used Clean Wall from AP formulators. Get gloves...

Check the vacuum bags.

Greg, hijacking the thread a bit but wanted to comment on your landscaping in the pic. Looks great! Any more pics you can share? It's the next phase at a wash for us.

RIP MEP. Sad news. We've lost a ton of knowledge on this board.

Kimberly, I see your wash is on the historic Lincoln Hwy. So is mine! Anyone else?

Prayers sent MEP.

34 years for me. Grew up just down the street from a car wash and wanted my own business and to have a 2nd source of income. Sons are involved now and we have branched into the equipment side so I am in it for keeps.

A small town we drove thru had these business names.... The Laundromat, The Dentist, and The Car Wash all on the same street. Simple and sort of clever.

For what it is worth I have used Nayax as count up for bays and vacs for a couple years. Recently switched to having 4 prices on the Nayax for customers to select and use count down. I won't go back to count up. Customers love it and no worrying about max charge when a customer forgets to turn...

My experience is my pickier customers and those with very new vehicles prefer touchless.

Those prices do look good if choosing to go that direction. I have mixed feelings on a monthly membership, in part because my washes are in smaller populated towns. I just installed a new unit and am considering offering prepaid credit cards at various dollar amounts for a loyalty...

Same as Kimberly hot and busy here!

We use Nayax vpos in our bays with 4 price selections on their face for the customer to choose. Switched from count up to count down and we are extremely pleased with them. We use count up on the vacs.

Can you reset them? I would pop the cap off the brine fill tube and check the float to see if it may have stuck in the up position. (from experience) I had that happen to me a while back. Try to manually run 1 at a time through a cycle.
