Hi guys, I've gotta admit both the Blues and the Avs are gonna be tough to beat this year but watch Scotty Bowman show the world why he is quite possibly the greatest coach of any sport in all of history- I will go with the Wings winning the cup this year over possibly the Flyers(again) or maybe...

Hi everyone-hope you all enjoyed that great show our Detroit Lions put on for the nation last night-talk about getting a break from all the seriousness that is going on in the world! Makes us real glad we also happen to live in Hockeytown with our Red Wings! Take care all- Gordon Great Lakes...

Have a great day Rod- enjoy it!!

Full or part time Have been at it full time for over 10 years now. You really have to be dedicated to working hard all summer and banking money for the cold that winter inevitably brings- we still stay busy with our fleet washing but there are times when it just can't be done. Gordon Great...

Must be looking for new wash markets!

We got to the point where it was funny Beth, going one way only to get turned another with no warning-definitely keeps you alert while driving. Now let me extend the same courtesy to you and Rod- if you ever come up to the Motor City for any reason let us know- we would be happy to show you the...

Thanks Beth- that would have been nice- we really did enjoy ourselves, but I've gotta admit getting around and parking in D.C. is a bit of a challenge. We stayed in Alexandria Virginia- nice place-old town is really something to see. Cody- yep we did go to Smithsonian(s)- really something-...

Hi everyone. Just got back from a vacation to Washington D.C.. Saw all the sights and we really enjoyed ourselves. My 12 year old son will never forget it. Seeing Arlington Cemetary and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier really makes you think of how fortunate we are. So does visiting the...

VINYL AWNINGS Hi Tony We have run into this one at times- We called an awning company and they suggested a mix of water and Murphys Oil Soap- brush it on- let it sit for a minute and rinse it off- works pretty well- might not take streaks completely out but it sure brightens them...

Hi Chris, Hate to say it, but after 11 years in this business we have not found a good way to get the vine residue off of siding. Everything will either 1) not do much or 2) take off most but not all of the residue but in the process damage the siding itself by taking the color off because...

WAX Hi Mike. We don't use wax very often, but sometimes it is required for certain mobile home parks around here. All I can tell you is a little will go a long way. 2-3 ounces mixes into 4to5 gallons of water than you can spray it on. It was sugggested to us to very lightly and quickly...

Hi everyone- just thought I would put in my 2 cents. I have never used the X-jet tho I would like to give it a try. We use a downstream injector at the machine and dual lance wand to change from chemical to rinse. Saves having to go back and forth to truck or carrying buckets with us. Also...

Congrats michael, just so happens today August 2nd is our wedding anniversary as well-15 years now and could'nt be happier! I've known my wife since I was a 15 year old kid-true high school sweethearts. Dan- congratulations also go to you and your wife on your upcoming arrival- that's great-...

Hi Beth, the only time we worry about getting "all" of the oxidation off of aluminum siding is when it is a paint prep job. That means we apply soap, brush all areas completely and then give high pressure rinse down. Now after all that you should be able to run your hand across siding and not...

Hi Mike, sounds to me like you could use a break. Things have been extremely busy here since early April so I am taking some time off in August to get a breather- figure me and my family should be able to enjoy a little of this nice weather before it is gone and we are back to shoveling snow...
