My customers with Istobal automatics are getting $14 to $15 for the top package, and about 60% choose it. And we have LOTS of express washes in the area. Just sayin.

Mac

Hello sooner, on the top wash we do two passes with friction cleaning and rinsing. We do a wheel blast during one of these with a rotating nozzle assembly(Quit selling the brush tire cleaners because people hit them and it takes about 20" of usable width away from the gantry), we then do a pass applying a true carnaube wax, then a pass buffing the carnauba in, then an additional wax, spot free pass, and double blow dry. If that sounds like a lot, that's because it is. But people are paying $14 for it, and the cars come out looking almost hand buffed. And no, I am not a retired Marine, just did four years active. Tell you son Semper Fi brother for me. This Sat, Nov 10, marks the 243 anniversary of my beloved corps. Founded in 1775, and in a tavern at that.
