    Foam brush not foaming like it should

    I know you're using a water softener, but have you recently tested the hardness of your water? If the water is hard, it will kill the suds in your foam brush. Is this a new problem? Has the foam brush worked before? Any changes to hoses or boom hoses?

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    Every car wash has different demographics, so your facts don't apply to everyone. Our car wash is very busy and we're on-site for a few hours every day. We have confronted folks who bring in their household trash. It would be a major inconvenience to our regular customers if we got rid of all...

    Lol! Young, clueless marshmellow, entitled, spends too much time on social media & not enough time in nature! 🐝 o_O

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    I'm glad we're heading into cooler weather when the honey bees will be less active. I was at the car wash most of yesterday, emptying trash cans, washing them & spraying with lemon bleach. This young gal was getting upset with the bees, screaming and running around. She ran over to me, asked...

    Shutting off card reader

    I'm frustrated that customers don't read and have no common sense. Signs do help. While they may not read them, they cover your ASS! I take a photo and when customers text me to complain, I apologize, patiently explain how it works and text them the photo! 🤪

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    Have you tried hanging wasp traps? When we go camping, we pick up a few from Lowe's or Walmart and they keep the wasps away from our food. Highly recommended! (y)

    Looking for a Mobile App for Self Serve and IBA

    Coinless was started in 2017 and well funded by Coldwater Capital. Give Coinless a call & demo what they offer. Honestly, the more I learn about Coinless and my customers use it, the more I'm impressed! I talked to a new customer tonight. He approached me when I told him I was the owner and...

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    I agree Traveler17. I appreciate your post. Today, I bought a bottle of Lemon Bleach and sprayed a misting over the trash cans. If nothing else, customers can "See" that I'm BEEING proactive! (y)🐝

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!! I love the idea of adding a misting nozzle. Unfortunately, my 5 trash cans aren't located near a water source... And I don't want to create a tripping hazard by adding a water line on the ground.

    Car Wash Names

    Simple names would work in a small town. I'm located in Northern California. In Sacramento (population 525k) there's a new SS car wash named "The Wash". In the neighboring town of Roseville, CA (population 152k) there's an existing SS car washed called "A Car Wash". IMO if you're going to...

    Car Wash Names

    This was a big topic last summer. Lots of helpful ideas. Search for the thread by typing in "How did you pick the name for your wash?"

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    These are DEFINITELY honey bees - NOT yellowjackets, wasps or hornets! My sister got stung last week. The bee landed on her yellow work shirt and when she moved her arm downward, it stung her & died. Here's a couple photos I took tonight in one of my trash cans. They're all over the Mike's...

    What brand outdoor speakers do you use? We've been thinking of adding music at our SS car wash.

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    During the hot and dry summer months, I have issues with honeybees in my trash cans (about 8-10 bees). They are attracted to water this time of year, but it's getting worse as my car wash is busier than ever and MORE customers are throwing away trash that contains sugary sodas, juice and ice...

    Looking for a Mobile App for Self Serve and IBA

    You're most welcome! I'm happy to share all my research & feedback with my fellow operators on CWF. My glowing feedback is well-deserved. It's been 11 months since I installed Coinless at my car wash and still VERY satisfied with my decision! The more I use it, the more I love it. Coinless...

    Lol! Have you considered adding speakers, and playing music from the 70s and 80s? It would go with your disco ball and lights, and make it fun & memorable!!

    Looks good! The night lights should help you get noticed. What's with the huge disco ball in the 1st photo??

    Everwash Platform 855-492-7477 www.everwash.com I looked at EverWash briefly. From their website and ad, it sounded like they ONLY offer a car wash database that offers memberships NOT app equipment. Here's a quick comparison table that I created last year, comparing the other mobile app...

    I researched several and chose Coinless. Installed last September. We have 5 wash bays & 5 vacuums that use Coinless. Very happy with my decision and so are my customers!!
