    New profit sources for a SS wash

    I built my own washer fluid machine using a spare coin box and mounted it on my side wall. I used a coin acceptor, a timer and a solonoid. I put a 15 gallon drum in my rafters and gravity does the rest. I timed how long it took to fill a 4 litre jug and divided it by 4. I charge $1 per litre...

    Does triple foam system increase income enough

    I have triple foam and in bay dryers and they both do very well. I just recently added an in bay vac to two of my bays and it does great and people don't mind that it costs 50% more to do it in the bay...it's on the dial at .75 cents a minute as opposed to .50 cents per minute in the parking lot.
