Whoa, Rodj! That is very observant. Maybe you are on to something. I don't know how many sim con tops we wash normally, but I'm sure a few. I don't now why this sim con top is the only one that had a problem and how much age is a factor. Just this last weekend had a sim con top customer insist...

Here's a still image of the video clip.

Since this customer complained a week after he washed, I needed to know for sure if this happened at our carwash and unfortunately, I think it did. This video captures our wash pattern and it's very similar to the damage on the Sim Con Top. Again, the only exception is that the damage on the Sim...

A customer with a 2010 Cadillac DTS and simulated convertible top washed in our Water Wizards with Turbo Nozzles. After washing, a zig zag pattern of circles appeared on the simulated convertible top from front to back. The damage is slightly concentrated on the passenger side. The customer...

At my SSCW I have always paid ABOVE our state's minimum wage and I've hired many happy employees who've come and gone, many feeling more confident about themselves after doing well w/ this, their "first job" often times. So now w/ the likes of AOC and these people who want us to pay a "living...

I saw this Tweet the other day and just had to share it: Fifty Shades of Sarcasm @ daniellecashat ~ Far too many people demanding $20/hour wages have a $5/hr work ethic

I maintain my carwash's equipment very well but have let the years go by w/ the decals deteriorating and it's always been too far down on my to-do list to ever get to... 2021 goal is to make some drafts to print of ideas for sign shops to then create some nice-looking decals and signage to...

So I never bought one for clean-up purposes at my SSCW because I just assumed my attendants would be lazy and use it to blow litter into the grass rather than do normal thorough sweeping but my question is... ...has having a leaf blower been invaluable to you at your SSCW and for what various...

Thanks for all the replies! The cooler weather kind of put a damper on the young people even wanting to congregate out here as often and in as huge of numbers so all's okay until next summer. Thanks! - Carl

I really appreciate both of your replies! It's obvious this is a "bust" idea, and I'm so glad you've forewarned me that there are so many better investments than to try this. What a great line, "If you can't do it right, don't do it at all!" Thanks, Carl

So I am sold on dryers inside the SS bays as an option but if you can't do that, what do you guys think about having them as combination vacuum/car dryers in the vacuuming area maybe on 4 out of 8 vacuums? Since the drying hose doesn't have a boom and you obviously don't want to "drape" the...

So my SS has lots of asphalt space in front of the SS bays. Because of Facebook, there's this club of mostly high school aged car enthusiasts who will call a "meet" and tell everyone to meet at my car wash...many do wash but lots who just come to "meet up" and "hang out" don't and sometimes it...

Problem for me though is that my vacuuming area is north of the SS bays so unfortunately I have too much distance from where I can plant a nice row of tall Evergreens but it is a great idea that would have worked had I had closeness to ground to plant some. Thanks! (y) ~ Carl

Earl - I have seen these in places before! Thanks for mentioning about them. This would negate my clearance problem. Appreciate the great advice! (y) :) ~ Carl

Thanks for the replies. I had exactly what you guys described...a combination of clogged DEMA 203Cs and blue foot valves. Appreciate all your help! (y) :) ~ Carl

I have 6 SS bays which face north so in the wintertime it's horrible keeping the floors from freezing because of the strong frigid north winter winds! :eek:I need a barrier on my SS exits side but I can't add traditional SS doors because they reduce my bays' clearance height too much. (and my...

I have two, 14-year-old SS dog wash tubs similar to the Kleen-Rite models sold nowadays. I'M HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE SOAPS TO DISPENSE ANYTHING BUT SUPER WATERY (hardly any product mixed in w/ the water?) I've changed KIP valves, foot valves, chemical tubing but to no avail? I'm getting so...

Thanks for all the replies. The signage idea is really good. My worry would be myself or my employees directly addressing a non-compliant customer to the ordinance and then them "losing it" and making a scene or yelling or just going crazy. The signage won't "trigger them" as much as being told...

I don't smoke so I don't know the habits of smokers...do they mostly toss their cigarettes onto the ground when done smoking or if you provide "cigarette receptacles" at your self-service car wash site, does that really help a bunch? I'm talking about those freestanding receptacles that have a...
