Can't believe the idiot who tried to take this through our Razor and when it stopped on him (getting caught on those big tires), he had the balls to ask for a refund!! I just told him to get that thing outtah there! I'm clueless as to what it is. I've never seen anything like it.

Just before midnight today, some idiots took a boat attached to a dually through our Profile! So lucky it did not do any damage. The Profile must have stopped when it hit the hitch and bar attachment to the boat and did not try to continue around the back of the truck, and just washed the...

After some service was recently done on our Profile and it was tested, the tech heard alot of popping/cracking noises. After inspection, we were shocked to find 18-20 welds in the frame that had cracked or come apart. The Profile was deemed unsafe, and we were down a few more days waiting on a...

I was horrified and disgusted when contacted by a customer who told me someone had dumped 2 kittens in our vac trash cart. Have been in the car wash business for 7 years and have discovered some nasty and interesting trash, but never this. The outcome, however, was very lucky. There were 2...

My experience has always been with IBA's -- currently have a site with a WW Profile and Razor. Am considering building a tall single bay self-serve on our site specifically for RV's/Trucks/Boats, with steps/ledges on both sides. Is a block structure better than a metal one? What dimensions...

Am curious about putting one of these on our site in our vac area, but don't know much about them. Are they profitable? Are they secure? Can they be broken into easily? Any advice you may have would be appreciated. Thanks.

Our Razor this morning at 7:30a.m. at 20 degrees here in South Texas:

Have always thought it would be cool to occaisionally have someone doing windshield ding repair on-site, and recently met someone who does that. Have any of you had this set up at your site? My question is what type of financial arrangement is usually made with these people? Is it a set fee...

I would like to hear from anyone who has converted their WALS Accounts from their Access Machines into the ICS machines. We will be doing this shortly when the ICS refit is done to our existing Access machine, and the addition of the new ICS machine for the new wash bay. The information...

I had put this post on another thread previously, but it probably should have been a separate thread. We are in the process of adding an additional bay and will be installing the ICS Auto Sentry Flex along with their Retrofit to our existing Access Machine. The new Auto Sentry will be tied...

This short video will bring a smile to your face -- something we probably all need. Not sure where it was filmed, possibly Europe somewhere.

A couple of months ago I posted an article talking about White being the most popular color for car purchases and mentioned it's great for the car wash business. Just captured this pic from our video -- 5 vehicles lined up -- all white. Ya don't catch this too often.

Some fun reading, according to GM, the most popular color for new car purchases is WHITE! Love it, 'cause they're always dirty...

Usually, we anticipate a profitable weekend for all of the holidays. It won't be happening this year for Cheetah. Late Wed. around 5:00p.m., the top brush came crashing down, barely missing the front end of a customer's car. If anything good can be said about any of this, the customer was...

We're in South Texas and are currently experiencing swarms of yellow butterflies that plaster themselves to windshields and grills. Since Friday, our single IBA has been averaging in the 90's daily. Since 2:00p.m. today, we've already had 50 go through. As soon as the cars get out of the wash...

This morning a guy went through our wash (WW Profile-Max) with a X-mas wreath attached to the front of his truck. It looked nice going in, but not so much going out. Ha! As we say, There's No Cure For Stupid.
