    Anyone try the "coolwall" paint for block walls that Kleenrite sells?

    Update? Hello Lisa, I am rehabbing an old brick 7 bay ss and am considering either epoxy paint or Tex Cote from Kleenrite. Any chance you can provide an update on your experience with Tex Cote? I have painted many self serves over the years, but have never been satisfied with how long the...

    $1.00 to start?

    I've been at $1 to start for about 10 years. I went back to $1 from $1.50 when I switched to $1 tokens. To make it easy to spend $1, I price everything at my five ss washes for $1; vacs, vending and bay start up. I give 2:20 minutes (I think) for $1 in the wash bays. I constantly have...

    I was going to put up FRP on a 6 bay ss with painted cinder block walls, but with the economy tanking, I decided to repaint instead. However, this time I used the top self priming semi-gloss latex paints from six different companies; a different one for each bay (all white). Each bay was...

    FRP panels without silicone?

    I recently rehabbed a 4 bay ss with 4x8 FRP panels. Per the directions, I used a bead of silicone when installing all moldings. I like everything about the FRP panels except the silicone oozing out of each molding and attracting dirt. I am thinking of rehabbing another ss with FRP but without...
