My father says "Live, learn and pass it on" once in a while so why not share this video? About our new self service bays in Vestal, NY he might also say "Are you crazy?"

We built the bays 35' long to accommodate the drying system or for future equipment but the customers pull forward too far thinking they should stop in the center. Probably need an indicator to stop or could have built it a few feet shorter.

Whose Foam Brushes?

Are meter boxes custom?

Do people ask whats the difference in the different colors of soap from the foam brush or wax?

Hogs hair foam brushes are from Erie Brush.

Coin boxes are custom. Built by ashamed Groff at Jam Wash Systems. www.jamwashsystems.com

I don't think anyone has asked about the different colors. It is the only place in town with two colors in the foam brush though. Differentiation is what we like to accomplish.

G&g led lighting

Tom,
I cannot connect to G&G lighting at ggled.net. It times out. I have Googled it several ways but no luck. Is the wash open for business and how is it doing? You have all of the bells and whistles or are you going to come up with some new ideas?

www.ggled.net works on two different computers that I've tried. The wash has been open since 12/26 and it is doing pretty good for a new place. Not much of a winter and very little salt.... so that didn't help. Can't think of what else I could throw at the place yet but the ICA convention is coming soon so you never know.

Thanks for sharing the new operation and the Wobblehead Foam Brush Handle along with the Simoniz products. Hope to see you in Vegas.

Nice Tom!

Do you find people trying to wash their cars with the wheel brush because of the wooblehead?

Do people get confused with all the options and hose...I see 5!

I did catch someone using the wheel brush instead but he was just confused. It was the first time I've seen that too.

I would say that people hunt around seaching for the correct hose but we have signage hanging near each of them. They select the item and they find it when they see foam and hear it coming out.
