Reviving a Car Wash after being closed for 15+ Years!

I have been working on getting this car wash back in operation over the past months and I am finally on to some of the final steps before I can start letting the public use this place.

Hell yeah man! I been waiting for some updates! Keep them videos coming but I know it ain’t easy. I remember how exciting it was first time getting water to come out in bays.

[@therevestor]

You got that right! Im impressed how consistent you are with your videos.

[@papabrose]

I love how organized all your pipes and lines are. So many car washes are just a mess and I don't know how people can stand it

[@therevestor]

I am trying to set it up so that someone other then myself can make sense of whats going on.

[@HenryLoenwind]

Now...a ceiling/rain shower may be a nice option. Easy way to get the whole car wet quickly ;)

[@therevestor]

Very true! Never seen something like that

[@allstarchris7299]

Hey. Great job on your car wash. The videos are very helpful. I just landed a deal with a car wash myself and currently going through the same process of getting the bays up and running. Keep the videos coming.

[@therevestor]

Best wishes on your new venture

[@allstarchris7299]

Thanks for watching.

[@showcivicred]

Those tips and that spray looks great! Excited for ya. Hope the little drips of water are all easy fixes

[@therevestor]

Thanks for the support

[@mtnvalleylover1]

Great job on your video and getting the car wash up and running. How much did it cost to get up and running?

[@therevestor]

Great question I found some great deals and got it done for under $100k. I will make a video about that.

[@milesparris4045]

What ended up being the problem with the timer showing "COIN"? I assume wiring, the Dixmor timer will display that when its coin input circuit is shorted closed.

[@therevestor]

Yes it was wired in tandem with the coin mech and I needed to move it over to a seperate input.

[@Rajo20024]

Good job

[@FireHawk92.]

We need more videos. 😁

[@therevestor]

I hear ya

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

That's nuts!

[@therevestor]

Thanks for watching. More to come

[@jordankendall86]

I noticed you used the thin/small plastic lines to each bay. I know that Chris Atkins at @CarWashChronicles uses thicker braided pipes because they are more durable. I think he mainly uses them because heat damages the thin/small plastic lines and makes them brittle, which then crack and leak. What are your thoughts?

[@therevestor]

Yes I use poly tubing. I am in an environment that freezes and the poly tubing can freeze and stretch without bursting.

[@PNWJMc]

How heavy is the spot free rinse tank when full? Is the 2nd level rated for that weight?

[@therevestor]

Its a little over a thousand pounds full. I did talk with my structural engineer about this. Good catch

[@markbordelon3821]

Do you like the nayax system ? Is the monthly fees expensive ? Are you reaching your goal of 12k a month ?

[@therevestor]

Install of the Nayax was a nightmare but now that it works its been really good.

[@carwashreviewsandmore7609]

Let me know when the grand opening is! I’ll sure be there. Maybe in the video too but that might be a stretch.

[@Rodj12341]

Can you check your Discord? I have a few questions.

[@carwashreviewsandmore7609]

@@Rodj12341 I’ll check.

[@therevestor]

Haha sounds like a plan

[@thrivingentrepreneur]

Awesome!

[@therevestor]

Thanks!

[@jesusfelix2605]

What about all the other videos bout the wash you jumped a lot of steps from beginning to end

[@therevestor]

Let me know what specifically you want to see

[@jesusfelix2605]

@@therevestor Well there is a carwash the next town over from me that has sat vacant for years and would just like to know how to approach the steps to not only acquire it but also when you receive the keys. What is the first thing you look at what the first thing you remodel etc.
