    How do I price my wash for sale?

    I like that "only worth whatever debt the current net income will support". I am seeing a lot of businesses on business broker sites listed near 2.5 times annual net.

    foam guns

    The foam gun puts on a nice show, but it?s hard to get full even coverage and it uses product faster. I wonder if the customer would get a better car wash with tire cleaner, presoak and tri-foam applied through the high-pressure gun.

    Too much foam on tri foam

    My tri foam on my water wizard is foaming up so much that the foam is building on the gantry and blocking some of the streams from spraying out on to the car. I?ve tried turning down the air, and diluting down the product, to no avail so far.

    Theft

    Usually when you get a run of the same crime being committed it?s the same guy. You need to put him in jail. I have put a few in jail over the years and it IS worth it. Right is right and wrong is wrong. We prosecute.
