Welcome back to Car Wash Chronicles and today Edwin joins me in a day at my car wash. Im heading there not knowing what to expect whether there be a bunch of trash, someone may have broken in or damaged equipment or something may not be working. So come along and let's find out together.
After working for my Uncle for 2 years at he's car washes I really wanted my own and I came across this car wash. It was completely shutdown for many years so I approached the owner of the land and made a deal with him.
It took me 6 weeks to bring it back to life and open it and now the customers are starting to pour in. Not to mention I opened it during winter so I am yet. to see its full potential but here's a small taste of how its going so far!

A great investment is a leaf blower. Easy to clean the grim off the entire lot and it really does make the wash look better. Especially were the vacuums are located. People don't want to track crud back into their freshly vacuumed car. I almost never use a broom now.

[@DJ-kd1ff]

Every car wash needs themselves an Edwin! Hoping to have a wash some day soon and to find such a great worker like him to help out!

[@lornesmith8919]

Interested in what chemicals you use, I recognized a few of them. Wondering if you could do a video on what brands you use and why. Dilution ratios, ph high vs low etc...... Love the videos! Keep them coming!

[@kevinlacey976]

Get Edwin a longer handle for that broom! That looks back breaking. 😆

[@justliftorellana1552]

👏👏👏😂

[@milesparris4045]

The best way to dry wet quarters is to spread them out on a towel on a warm surface. They'll dry in about 15 minutes. They get wet because the top of the column is usually open and the rain runs down inside and into the vault.

[@justliftorellana1552]

I love Edwin el campeon ❤😂👏👏👏

[@CarWashChronicles]

🤣🤣🤣

[@kingkong4ever]

In Western Australia I had actually used a car wash that also included a bike repair station with tools and replacement tubes as well as a air pump and oil

[@itsjay0237]

Honestly this channel has come a long way and is pretty interesting to get a insiders look on owning, starting, and maintaining your own business I hope to see that this channel continues to grow, you deserve it!🙏🏻

[@CarWashChronicles]

Thanks a bunch! Almost 30k subs. Appreciate it all.

[@itsjay0237]

Congratulations bro! I’m sure this channel is going continue to have much more success, plus this is all a learning experience for us so thank you for taking the time to give us a insider on what it’s like to be a business owner.

[@loudaccord]

Coming up on 30k subs... great work! Love manual car washes and fun to see what goes on behind the scenes. I have 2 cars I'd never let a brush touch... I'd actually pay extra if I could use my own soap some how.

[@CarWashChronicles]

Thanks!

[@flipyeah696]

Always amazes me how many people can’t hang a vacuum hose up.

[@CarWashChronicles]

You and me both lol

[@MatthewCarlson92]

I would use a leaf blower to blow all the trash against the wall then blow it down the wall towards the trash and sweep the pile up right by the trash.

[@KG-xt4oq]

Just discovered your channel yesterday and I've already watched 5-6 of your videos. Just wanted to let you know that any quarter that is dated 1964 and earlier has 90% silver and is actually worth around $4 today, so keep an eye out and an ear as well as those coins have a different/distinct sound to them when they make contact with other coins/surfaces. Also, keep an eye out for certain types of bills such as silver certificates and red seal notes; collectors buy these for many times more than face value. Unique serial numbers and 'star notes' can also be worth several times the face value of the bill, although looking for these could be time consuming in your case since you handle over 1,000 bills at a time. I enjoy your content and good luck to you; I'd like to have my own car wash(es) as well, but I don't have the $$$ or a business partner to pursue it.

[@Luisr777]

I like Edwen he has a great spirit on making a dallar better then nothing wow that can go a long way for a business always been positive.

[@justliftorellana1552]

[@97hardbdy]

Hell yeah! I live in Tucson and drove by yours! I’m excited to see more content there! one day I’d love to own a nice car wash! Keep grinding bro

Nice. Painting it soon.

I’d like to see a video on how well the credit card sales have been going vs traditional cash.

[@CarWashChronicles]

Great idea. I’ll add it to the list. Thanks!

[@kelly00000111111]

my dad used to run a laundry machine business - about 400 washers/dryers within the apartment complexes that he also owned, and all of his machines ran on quarters only (business sold right before credit card or e-paying became popular) - and he would count all of his quarters with a similar machine but it was mechanical and much older (only did one size at a time). he had such a good ear that he would be able hear the silver quarters hit the metal tray in the machine, so he would stop the machine and pick out each silver quarter and would sell them at the coin exchange place once a month. he must have found 30-40 silver quarters each time he collected from the machines. so my question is - do you look or listen for silver quarters? theyre worth over 4 bucks a piece these days. it was worth it for me to help him count because i got to keep as many silver quarters as i found when i was younger

[@CarWashChronicles]

That’s awesome. Nah I don’t bother.

[@2011Cape]

That’s really cool! Nowadays, silver coins aren’t nearly as commonly found so not worth bothering, like he said.

[@SkateClipsAndTips]

You should have a little dolly just for the 5 gallon bucket that you carry the coins in

[@luisescamilla1192]

Hi love the channel binge watched all your videos in a day

[@CarWashChronicles]

Nice! Thanks and much appreciated

[@gh9st986]

Hello, just started watching your videos a couple days ago. Is there any specific company that you order your chemicals and car supplies such as wash wands, guns, tips ect.. I like the videos. Keep it up.

[@LupitaCortes]

Where did he get those glasses! 😮they’re nice

[@ionuti2658]

in bay 1 that's not trash/leafs from one day. bull. the day before ed was alone and when the owner is not with him, like every other employed dude, skips his chores. also at 9:42 what' up with the weed/grass/plants growing from the cracks. it takes 2 minutes to rip it. at 6:29 is a big hole in the concrete, crumbling. 1 hour job to clean and pour some ready mix.

[@CarWashChronicles]

[@rickk2227]

Love your videos!

[@CarWashChronicles]

Thanks!

[@hanklet3679]

In Finland the car wash i go to i have to bring my own soap and brush(they have buckets and a pressure washer pretty much) and seeing how higher quality the DIY car wash places in USA are is incredible to me. It usually costs me around 8-10 dollars if i did the math right from Euros to US dollars. Also its required to clean the car wash after ur done washing ur car otherwise they can fine you. What do you think about this? Its the only DIY car wash in town.

[@ivoe6860]

Hey, I'm in the high desert (hesperia). I just wanted to see if you need extra hands cleaning and maintenance. Also. Would be really cool if rather than a plain car wash, have some "graffiti" artist make some murals on each of the bays.

[@blazbohinc4964]

16 grand a month - supply. That’s good living.

[@Financial_Mindset]

Hi Chris enjoy watching the videos thanks, my question If you were looking to buy your first wash and had the means to pay cash for the transaction land/business will you? instead of going with a 10-15 year lease with the owner?

[@johntobia8677]

Chris, as always great videos and content. Who do you use for your chemicals?

[@CarWashChronicles]

Thank you! Soap from kleen rite

[@morganlangdon3281]

I'm happy to see your rock garden is doing well still. Besides basic maintenance, was there any major "fixes" needed? It looks solid and my guess would be that it is low upkeep.

[@CarWashChronicles]

No major fixes that day. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Today had a whole in a presoak hose so had to change that out. Nothing exciting.

[@morganlangdon3281]

@@CarWashChronicles has the rock garden held up? Was it worth the investment?

[@scottpaulson1714]

Do you have a recycling of water system or do they make those for ca washes?

[@lifeintornadoalley]

No, i don't really want to own a carwash. But i do really want to go back to Tuscon, hang with my friends Arizona ghost riders who do the reenactments, to hang with slither steve snake king, and to enjoy camping in bisbee (spelling)

Get a leaf blower.. blow all the trash together near the trash can then sweep it👌🏽

Wow! Genius 👌🏻

Hey Chris I’m just wondering what’s your thoughts on the automatic car washes made by Christ Wash Systems? I’m looking at a Christ automatic washer that uses both touch-less and touch operations onto the vehicles.

[@M1ckyMack]

Always love seeing videos with my future business :) Would love to get your advice on getting soaps and wax. I saw on your maintenance video you got 55 gallon drums of wax. Was is from a local place that has them or do you get them ordered online? And for the soaps same question. Online or in a local store? Thank you :)

[@CarWashChronicles]

Nice! Yes a local place. Soaps online. Can get wax online too but I like this one

[@hfcfzvhjf467]

Where do you get all your equipment from? And what chemicals do you use and where do you get them?

[@andrewsoliz483]

Quick question? How do you find out the traffic foot print for a specific location? I’m looking into a location but can’t done anything on that specific intersection just a few Intersections down.

[@CarWashChronicles]

Never done that

[@santiagoruiz2-v2u]

how is the tuscon car wash coming along

[@farmerboyfpv3637]

Are tokens universal or specific to you wash?

[@lars67071]

Isn’t it better when you have rainy days in between? So the cars can get dirtier on the streets 😂

Meh. 7 days of straight sunshine seems to be my best $$ weeks.

I order a pallet and that usually lasts 3-4 months depends how busy I am.

[@TheBennynyc2]

@@CarWashChronicles thanks for the reply you said a pallet of soap? A pallet of each chemical also what to ball park cost , the other question I had was, what did you do when Covid hit ?. Did people still use the car wash at that time? Also what to do when the city declares a drought. Do have to shut down until they lift the order ? Don’t mean to bother you. I stumbled across your channel and really got into it. Keep it up 👍

Why do you used tokens? What’s the purpose of having them? Why not just have customers used regular currency. Instead of having to pay for the tokens and then use them.

[@JOSHT901]

they're coin operated bays on the turn dials. So if using cash have to convert to coins or can use the credit machines.
