You could save about $1700 in soap if you switched to a powered soap and mixed it yourself, works just as good. The fast lube I worked at had an automatic car wash and we was using luster shield, premixed soap. And the boss switched to the powder because it was about $1700 cheaper. It don’t take long to mix and never had a complaint on it

You should switch to the ver-tech system for your chemicals in your back room makes it a lot cleaner and organized also way cheaper on the chemicals and you don’t gotta move around the heavy drums of chemicals we just made the switch at work from the drums to vertech makes it so much easier

Hi Chris~ we have come across a car wash that has been shut down and fenced up. It would take a lot to get it up and going again. This would be our first endeavor for a car wash. Do you think this is a good move for a newly acquired business or should we pass on this opportunity?

Yeah, $4000 per week, but what about your net income after you pay your weekly maintenance, supplies, and maybe a help? You probably won't net more than $2500, if not less!

Yes. Less than that. 2k net in ya pocket per week is not much but it’s a start. It’s when you scales to 4,5,6 car washes it adds up to an amazing financial position.

Wouldn't it make perfect sense to put solar panels on top of the car wash roofs? Isn't electricity around 30ct/kWh in Cali? That would give you basically free electricity in that weather. Love your videos as always

At around $6k a year for electricity, it would be paid of in a very very short time too, just saying.
