    A little update on my wash.

    So I’ve slowly been upgrading the old 8’ fluorescent lights to LED lights and I must say I’m very impressed so far. They are a little over 100$ each on the amazon.

None of which have a better location than me. The biggest competitor in town is $1.00 for 4:00. I have matched that but it seems...

I think the biggest problem I’m having is I’m using the dixmor in the bay and also have a idx timer in the pump room. Do I need...

    I started feeling like a carwash owner today.

    So my Rowe change machine bill acceptor belts melted the other day. After scouring the internet to find replacements they finally came in. I replaced them all. Probably one of the hardest tasks I’ve ever completed since there was no diagram to go by or old belts to take off. But when I...

    Peter Paul Valves

    I have my tire cleaner and my presoak switches wired into Peter Paul valves and the Teflon and rubber seals do not seal any longer. I have been in contact with Peter Paul trying to get 20-30 rebuild kits but I can’t get anywhere with them. They say they are having to make a part number for the...

I purchased a 6 bay SS car wash after it had been closed for almost 2 years. “Previous owner had some tax issues” So I got tired of seeing this carwash for sell and decided what the heck. How hard could it be right? So first thing...
