    How many still at a $10 preauthorization?

    Cryptopay can do it. It may raise your fees though as you will be verifying cards more frequently, I think they only recommend it if you have folks cheating the system,

    Coleman Oval SuperVac 3 Shampoo Pump

    I may have a used one. Coleman seems to have almost given up on the SS/IBA biz and seems to be focusing on tunnels.

    How many still at a $10 preauthorization?

    I put mine at 10.01 hopefully to bounce $10 gift cards but the card company authorized it anyway and then I got charge backed . Move my cryptopay re authorization window to 16 minutes instead of two hours and am thinking about moving pre auth to $11.

    Hog King Foam Brush

    It s been on just a couple of weeks and it looks like my wife’s hair after being outside all day. , Apparently the Alibaba Chinese hogs don’t handle the southern humidity very well.

    Mosmatic Comfort Hose

    Due to the old man's rant I ordered a 1/4" hose from Kleen rite with 3/8" ends. I will try to make a comparison between the two shortly.

    Mosmatic Comfort Hose

    They have carbon steel ends. I don't have a problem with kinking on the high pressure hose but again I'm changing out before failure along with my trigger gun assembly for aesthetics. They're not perfect but I do indeed like them. I would recommend you try one and you may find they are worth...

    Mosmatic Comfort Hose

    Ive been using them a couple of years. I like them because of their light weight. They are super light,they feel like the hose you get with those cheap $99 consumer pressure washers. It makes the entire gun assembly much easier to handle and women like that. There is no wire braid inside so...

    Wash select II locks up?

    Bumping this post for a possible aid. I still have a sporadic problem every few weeks/months (haven't tried the light bulb trick yet). I bought a contact cleaner called deoxit d5. It's really the only contact cleaner that I have found that claims to actually remove oxidation. Most other contact...

    On board vs Freestanding dryers

    I'm in the freestanding camp. Allows for a higher throughput. However, Installation is going to be more expensive due to separate electrical.

    Neighborhood car wash business

    CWfanatic There are several YouTube channels that focus on mobile detailing. One good channel is detail groove, especially his older content. Wilson auto detailing is a decent one too. Both these started with basic equipment. Many YouTube detailing channels are mainly just content creators and...

    CWF give us a more specific idea of what you are referring to. Are you referring to a hand wash/detail service, or a self service?

    Water Wizard 2.0 boom counts

    I would also take a look at your eyes on the boom. If they have alkaline scale on them clean them off with an acid. If they are exposed to UV light and really bad they may need a light polish with some plastic polish or cleaner wax. I have one site where the receiver gets Uv exposure and every...

    Water Wizard 2.0 boom counts

    I'll look today and see how frequently I get an eye error on my busy machine. And to be more specific about an earlier post, I meant to make sure that the different profile eyes are assigned to the channel Coleman wanted them to be assigned to to minimize cross-talking. Open the door on...

    Coleman Hanna E-Fusion

    No real issues here. No attendant needed. Damage claims are minimal, and chemical costs are a fraction of the cost of operating a touch free. Looking at quicken last year I paid $219 in damage claims over the total site. It's a more consistent clean too. Cameras are needed, as well as...

    Hog King Foam Brush

    Bringing an old post back from the dead. Just bought four hogs hair brushes to test from a fellow operator. He bought them from Alibaba for $30 each. I'll put them on my busiest bays and see how they do.[ Alibaba brush is the longer one on the left next to a standard length universal brush...
