    Poll: Red, white, blue.....green?

    Survey doesn't allow for 2 color choices. Our car wash was originally boring brown & gold. 20 years ago we remodeled & upgraded to BLUE & YELLOW. The colors really stand-out from the street!! 💙💛

    Is this Self Serve a Good Buy ?

    Sounds like a terrible deal!! (n) If the ONLY thing that's working is 3 SS bays and a shampoo vacuum, what is he spending $1472 on for monthly car wash supplies?

    Air logic or Air shammee

    Hi Nick007, Since we installed the Diskin 3-phase dryers in the bays, we've tried many different things to improve customer experience and air flow. I've added the updates after your questions above (IN CAPS). Please let me know if you have any further questions! Kimberly

    Citrus Heights Car Wash - SOLD! :)

    Dear friends, our local on-line newspaper ran a great article about the sale. The new owners took over on Tuesday 12/16/24 and have already installed the Cryptopay Tap & Pay system in the bays, and have plans to replace the concrete with an epoxy coating. The Pastor's are a GREAT family -...

    Lol! They must be some "bitchy parents, kids, and teachers" for her to want to clean out vacuums! :ROFLMAO:

    Im tired

    If you're tired and looking to get out, I would do it sooner rather than later! By July 2024, I felt I was too tired to run my car wash and too tired to go through the long process of selling it. I hired a real estate friend, who recently sold his car wash to handle the deal. He received 15...

    Im tired

    After fixing up and running my SS car wash for 21 years, top-notch, I'm exhausted. I just signed the papers yesterday to sell to a local business family. They own a large gas station, express tunnel, mechanic shop, rental truck business. We met through our soap salesman and they run their...

    trying to reach fragmatics company

    The only phone # I have for Fragramatics is 800-643-1574. Have you tried reaching out to Kleen-Rite to see if they can provide tech support?

    trying to reach fragmatics company

    Not sure who you're trying to reach, but I just call Chip or Pat at Lauel Vending directly.

    trying to reach fragmatics company

    Yes, you are right and I'm glad! :) As a SS operator, I rely on Laurel Vending and Fragramatics products. If Kleen-Rite hadn't bought them, hard to say what might have happened to those companies. Maybe they would have closed, or been bought out by an investor or another manufacturing...

    trying to reach fragmatics company

    Just read recently that Kleen-Rite acquired Fragramatics in October. The result is "shorter, more reliabile lead times, and improved customer experience." Not sure if their phone number or contacts have changed. Fragramatics phone number is 800-643-1574, ask for Kelly Garrison.

    Dixmor Dryer Timer

    I've had good success using a heat gun & synthetic lubricant to loosen the stuck locks. Don't torch it, just enough heat to warm it up.

    Foam Brush Hose replacement

    I tried the Uber Propulse hoses in 2019 and they twisted horribly! 😣 Although they're 4000 psi, they don't have the weight & rigidity of the steel-braided Continental hoses. I had a swivel at the HP nozzle. Went back to using the Continental ones. I like to try new things... sometimes it...

    Foam Brush Hose replacement

    I was buying the rubber bumpers from a local car wash supplier, but they were getting expensive, while the rubber quality was going down. I couldn't find the same ones from Kleen-Rite. I did some research and found an unlikely alternative... rubber feet for stereo speaker cabinets on eBay...
