Thanks a bunch for all the info I will check into all of them!

Anybody have any companies they would suggest within a budget. I don't have $10,00 grand to spend so please keep this in mind. Thanks you.

I will check with my husband on some of the questions that i do not know. We include the tire shine in our top wash and we average 25-30 % of our daily washes are top washes. We have had the tire shine for 10 months and I do not believe the pads have been rotated but I will check. I will get...

Does anybody have any suggestions or advice on the Pad Perfect and how to help get more out of the drum. Would increasing the application seconds do anything to help usage?

I have the biggest idiot in Philly who says on air every time it's going to rain that mother nature will wash your car for ya! I actually email him to tell him that he was an idiot and he never responded. I do not watch him that much anymore but I have not heard him say that since my email.

Thanks a bunch guys! I really value this forum for all the knowledge and the exceptional people who are open to help out!

Earl, are you saying that my expectations are probably beyond the customers?

Thanks Chiefs! We have explained to our customers about the salt and residual in short terms and we have had no complaints. I think I have expectations that may be unrealistic for this time of the year and conditions. I tend to be a bit of a nut when it comes to the cars. I think I need to...

Thanks for the info I will have my husband check on that! I think we will bring the brushes in out of sight out of mind. They may not even notice they are gone. I hope.

Hey thanks for the info. We are aggressively working on getting our name out there but it seems slow then it picks up then slow again. We are going to businesses and schools and athletic associations as well as paper ads and flyers. Do you see a big benefit in the local clipper mags? Where in...

Well I think it will be fine but our township has strict advertising limits because we are in a historic area but it is very commercialize. Our sign had to be less the 10 ft high we can not have a lighted promotion board and no stick signs so we have some challenges.

We have been open two weeks today. Is there anybody that can tell me an idea of business growth over the next six months from past experience?

Chiefs, Good info! My husband and I are big on customer service and very personable. We have already had some interesting situations but got thru them fine. I am personally a little obsessed with producing a clean car. My equipment guy and chemical guy keep telling me basically to get over it...

Great advice! Thanks a bunch.

We just opened our first car wash last week in SE PA it is an 80 ft express with self serve bays, we offer free vacs on the express wash only. I have been running business very successfully for almost 20 years but never a car wash. We have researched it for over 10 years but there is nothing...
