    Understanding in-line tips and ratios

    Could that be a .014?, which is 120 to1 or 1:120 Guessing you are using hydrominders and hose metering tips so you can find those ratios from dultmeier, kleenrite, or Tommy's catalogs or websites.

    Trash Can Recommendations

    On busy days I will set a trash can just outside my office/equipment room for customers to use. It provides a service and prevents abuse.

    Trash Can Recommendations

    Removed ours and it was by far the best decision we have made.

    Boosting a soap.

    Thanks Ourtown, we have done similar drawing Blendco hph and presoak 2000. Went away from low/high at a location because it was new concrete. Eyebrows are difficult to get and was thinking a booster may also help with that.

    Boosting a soap.

    Thanks Greg, I will check those products out. Agree on using only for a touch free. Hate to boost in a self service bay where applications aren't controlled.

    Boosting a soap.

    I would like to safely boost an alkaline soap. Also curious if a polymer based soap can be boosted. Coming up on the period where we get a few weeks where cleaning can be difficult. Every spring and fall we have it. To those who do use a booster, what do you suggest? In 30+ years I've never...

    Cashless…who’s done it and what should we know?

    We did make the move to not accept quarters at our automatic pay-station, just cards and bills. We use a recycler to return bills as change.

    Cashless…who’s done it and what should we know?

    Cash is working it's way out of my washes on it's own. Like you, cash is now 20% when just a couple years ago cash was over 40%. I still like a little cash coming in so I will keep it. :)

    Capture rates now

    I should add that the lenders mentioned several times that a loan for a new construction inbay/ self service carwash is difficult for them to figure as there just isn't comparable recent history to use, especially in our area. Having a co-signer helps a young entrepreneur in this case. The...

    Capture rates now

    Just enough to satisfy the lender.:) We used the actual numbers from one of our washes with near the same traffic counts to make the decision. That existing wash, in a small rural town, does an average of 40 cars per day thru the automatic bay, with a traffic count of 6600. The self service bays...

    Yes it does. 5000 vehicles in 24 hours and only capture 25? He worked with SBA and the bank and they came up with a range of .005 to .008.

    Tokens vs Coins

    Rooster, will your existing coin mechs accept tokens? As Randy posted they come with a cost. Have any pics of your washes to post? Something may jump out at a forum member that could help you in making the wash more profitable.
