October's turning into a big event month for us in the industry! If you're in the greater Minneapolis area (and beyond), check out the Heartland Carwash Association's upcoming RoadShow. It'll be a day full of touring some unique Midwest washes, local vendors and suppliers that are representing our area in some powerful ways, and some opportunities to network with fellow operators and vendors in your area.

We're really looking forward to this! If you have even the tiniest inkling of wanting to attend, there are still some spots on the bus. We'd all love to see you there!

Anyone running reclaim knows the pit is where the good intentions go to smell terrible, and once the odor and sludge take hold it has a way of following your customers right up to the entrance.

Reclaim Defender is built to hand that pit back to you, going after the smell at the source, breaking down the sludge that keeps building at the bottom, and clearing up your reclaim water.

If your reclaim system has been more of a headache than a selling point lately, this is a simple place to start turning that around.

Watch the following video to see the results Car Wash Owners are seeing with Reclaim Defender.

The bigger guys may have the industry cornered when it comes to scale, but our focus is on customer service and delivering the right chemistry solution for your unique wash conditions.

We've been doing this for over forty years now and have seen everything that this industry can throw at an operator. Trust us to help you select and manage your carwash chemistry and stick to what you do best: washing cars!

It's easy to focus so hard on the cars going through that the building doing the work quietly slips down the list, and customers pick up on that faster than we like to admit. A clean, well-kept site tells people you sweat the details before they ever pull into a bay, and keeping it that way is less about scrubbing harder and more about using the right products on the right surfaces so grime lifts instead of getting ground in. The same goes for protecting your equipment and your concrete from the buildup that shortens their life. If your facility upkeep has been more guesswork than routine, we can help you put a real plan behind it and give you what you need to keep the whole place looking like it means business.

Free Wash Friday: The Trunk Confessional. 🫣

Everybody's got one. That thing in the back of your car you've been meaning to deal with since — let's be honest — spring.

The single sneaker. The reusable grocery bags you have never once brought into the store. A hockey stick belonging to a kid who is now in college. Nine water bottles. The beach chair from a beach trip in 2023. A bag of returnables that has achieved sentience.

Tell us what's living in your trunk right now, and how long it's actually been there. No photo needed — just confess in the comments. We're not judging. We're taking notes.

Everyone who comments is entered. We'll draw one winner at random Monday morning for a free Ultimate wash, and we'll be reading a few of our favorites out loud.

Then come see us at 1035 South Street and pull into one of our 18 free vacuum bays — there's always one open — and let's finally do something about it. Mat washer's free too, and honestly, it sounds like you need it.

And don't miss this while you're here: right now, your first month of the Unlimited Wash Club costs the same as a single wash. Express $12 · Super $17 · Works $20 · Ultimate $25. One wash, or a whole month of them. 🧼

So. What's back there? 👀
