    Chemicals to improve car wash results

    I buy my automatic wash chemicals from Autowash Maintenance. They sold me my equipment. Their chemicals work great in my Razor and I am able to charge a premium price. For my self wash bays, I mostly use Simoniz and I buy from Kleen Rite. It took me alot of trial and error and seeking advice...

    Miami Dade county hand carwash permits/licenses

    In my state/town you start with the planning board. You ask to be put on the agenda of the earliest meeting. You show up with a thorough plan, proposed location, etc. They ask about traffic flow, egress, signage, chemicals, utilities requirements, neighborhood impact, hours of operation...

    any awesome tricks for keeping the cameras dry?

    I bought a new Lorex camera system for my car wash when I did my remodel and just got around to putting up the cameras about a year ago. I love everything about the system except for the fact that the cameras in my automatic wash get moisture inside and then they look blurry like the photo...

    LaserWash 360+ vs RazorWash Edge

    my razor washes a lot more cars than my old superior machine partly because the blowers are outside the building. They were also outside with my old equipment but the difference is that the razor is programmed to prompt the next car to enter while the car in the bay is driving forward through...

    Deal or no deal

    What is your specific carwash experience? Maybe I missed that in the original post but have you worked at one? If not and you have very little or no experience in the carwash business this might be too ambitious for your first project.

    AMS vending machine display

    bought the new display through snack attack in Pennsylvania. Boy am I glad I did! The new unit is bright and clear. I also installed the new coin acceptor and it works beautifully as well. Question: should I have the MEICF 7000 rebuilt to keep as a spare? If so who do I send it to and what is...

    LaserWash 360+ vs RazorWash Edge

    i'm a big fan of the razor. I've had mine for three years now and it's been an awesome upgrade to my car wash. The maintenance is easy. The computer interface is very user-friendly. Tech-support through my distributor Autowash Maintenance is top notch. I've actually been able to contact the vice...

    Cryptopay has been great for me. Very reliable, easy to set up. Set it and forget it.

    PreSoak streaking

    I think that if the wash is over too quickly customers will gripe. At my high prices for my IBA the customers already think I'm a greedy SOB. I can't imagine a faster process than my Razor wash going over too well with the customers. I already had to add a rinse pass back in that I had...

    How do I get started buying a business?

    A logical first step that I always recommend to people asking the same question is to get a part-time job at a car wash and see how you like it. As an attendant you can get some very good experience with customers, clean up, maintenance items etc. You'll get an idea of how much attention a car...

    Marketing and Advertisement suggestions to restart an idled SS

    i've had some very good results from a rented electronic LED sign. The rate is affordable for one month and it would really help in my opinion. It's programmable and you can put just about anything you want on both sides. You tell the rental company what you want ahead of time and they program...

    AMS vending machine display

    Ryan from Snack Attack recommends a Conlux coin mech, due to the poor reliability of the Mei unit. Too many errors according to him. He said conlux is a direct fit and costs $175. His opinion is Conlux is the best in the business.

    Small Town IBA Startup!?

    I used 3/10 of 1% for my projections 20 years ago. I have one WW Razor and 2 SS bays. I serve about 20,000 with 2 competing iba's and 2 competing ss bays. That projection was a little high for me. DTC x .003, but my wash is on a B- location; 40 mph where customers go 50+ . Location and egress...

    AMS vending machine display

    The display on my AMS sensit 2 is very dim and I would like to remedy that. In your experience should I replace the entire display with a new one as well as the lens that covers it or do you think just the lens would be adequate? Thank you.
