Just purchased my first vending machine from Jim @ ShurVend. 51 selection, non refer. Looking for suggestions. In older posts I see little trees (new car, black ice, vanilla) Armor All dash wipes, wet towels, glass cleaner. Anything other than these obvious items that do well for you? I have...

I'm looking at getting a water leak sensor that sends email and /or text alerts. I see a few different ones online. Does anyone use one that they would recommend?

I am looking at buying a used Shur Vend 39 and was hoping someone could share some feedback on their experience with this unit. I have heard all good things about Shur Vend but nothing to speak of on the 39 itself. Thanks!

My pit grates were taken this morning at 10:00 am. In 2 minutes they took 8 of the 12 I have. They would have taken them all but they ran out of room in the trunk. Police have video. Kicking myself in the a** for not locking them down somehow. They will be from here on out. Very frustrating to...

I was wondering what type of responce some of you have received from this type of advertizing. Also how did you go about spreading the opt in number? On site signage? Reader board? mailings? etc.. Thanks in advance!

Just installed new XRS roll ups in our bays. Great doors. Im looking for some suggestions on signage/graphics to alert customers to the bays being open and doors open automatically. Im leaning toward the graphics on the door itself. Seems that this would be the best. I would think you wouldnt...

I am working on figuring gals of water used per wash. I have used a nozzle chart and timed all passes. Figured in all the different pressures and nozzle count. I have touch free autos and I am coming up with around 115 gals on my top wash. Does this seem high? Can anyone share their numbers so...

Probably is but I cant help myself from asking if anyone has tried Magic Finish chemicals by Cul Mac industries? They are the ones that agressively advertise the elimination of eyebrows. Example: " No more eyebrows, No more excuses!" and other similar ads. I have tried a few different pre soaks...

I was approached by a Girl Scout troop leader and asked if they could set up a small table at the wash to sell their cookies like they do in front of markets. I am more than happy to do so. Then we had an idea to ask the leader if when they went door to door if they would hand out discount...

Im looking to add some cameras inside my IBAs and was looking to get some input on whats good and bad. I have been in contact with carwashcameras.com and they are recomending a dome camera with very high resolution,veri focal, and is submersible at a very resonable price. Also camera placement...

2 dirtbags attempted to pry into one of my access machines on 12/16/10. The alarm sounded and off they went. Filed a police report and I showed the video to the officer. unfortunately my video didnt get a good face shot of either of the 2. Fortunately these crooks were dumb as posts and were...

I was wondering what the veteran wash owners take is on this. I have seen recomendations going both ways and i am wondering what the determining factor is. Different times of the year? Climate? Soil type? Or do you just go with the what the Manufacturer says?

I was thinking about rinsing with cold water instead of hot. I talked to one owner and he has multiple washes that he rinses in cold during the winter at all and says it works fine. Does anyone else out there do this? I would imagine the savings would be pretty good!

I am starting to see powdered products advertised more and more. Has anyone out there tried them and had good results? If so, what brand is it and how much if any change over is there as far as the chemical delivery goes? Thanks, Matt...

i am having some issues with chemical delivery. i have recently switched chemicals and now i am using too much even with the smallest tip installed. i have S.S. injectors and they are about 1 1/2 years old.(as old as the wash is) ive had to replace o rings at the check ball seat in a couple. i...
