Car Wash Blog / Self Serve Industry Blog and Forum
Okay so the timer was already in bad shape with the display knocked out but it still worked. When I drove up today to the carwash the high pressure water was running and the timer was giving out free carwashes! So I had to disconnect the timer and I am down one bay until tomorrow. I need to replace the Jim Coleman timer with a D&S timer.
Why have all my recent posts been about garbage and my dumpster? Well, I did not want to let you guys down today. It finally happened! A stray dog got into the garbage and I caught the dog red handed!
A huge bag of leafs….. Great! Also a VCR tape in the second picture. Remember those?
Look who is running for mayor this year! I have every one (or I should say had).
Someone decided to dump garbage all around my dumpster today. Luckily a dog did not rip the bags open yet. I love it when dogs rip garbage bags of trash open and throw it all over the lot.
Nice little coin jam, which is always fun to clear out.
My old dumpster company raised their rate on their dumpster so I called around. You can actually save money changing companies but it was kind of a pain. My dumpster company even gave discounts for having multiple dumpsters.
The JASCO paint remover and the Klean-Strip Graffiti Remover did not work so well. So I decided to just leave the Graffiti Remover on for 2 day (because it rained yesterday). It looked like after 48 hours the Graffiti Remover actually pulls some paint off but still does a crappy job. I then pressure washed the area and you can still see that it is D.J.’s B’Day.
This might not be the best method but this should work. I purchased two 30 foot Master Lock security ropes and 16 Master Locks. With this method I am able to remove them to dig out the pits.
Someone stole 8 of my pit grates, which is great! Nothing but rain all week then someone spray paints the building and then the grates. Great week and it is not even over!
