Onecallpw... check the link here on the board. I don't post all that often, so if you do a search, it is under EPA ENFORCEMENT. It is from 2001. That will give you the background. If you want to know more, feel free to email me. Ktillery@juno.com. It is too long a story anymore to get into it...

Isn't this typical..... You know everytime we have gotten off on the reclamation tangent everyone always ends up arguing...... Makes no difference what the actual points are that we were/are being made. This whole side argument about everyone's humble opinion..... I don't consider my...

[hello] Well Dan S., I learned from My Mom. Amazingly enough she is only 29 years old! And has been since I was about 6! Besides, why on earth would I want to change that picture considering all of the comments I have gotten over the years!?!?! :) Forgot how much I missed all of you guys...

It has been a long time..... Hey, all of you who know me. It has been a long time since I have posted on any of this type of stuff. But, I got forwarded a copy of this thread by some one on this bb. It is funny how quickly things change. All of the discussions about reclaiming the waste water...

I have used simple green, but it never did quite enough for my applications. I have found a great product that I have used for washing trucks. Mainly the interiors, I don't do fleet exterior washing. I started using it to remove milk residue and mold from the aluminum of the retail transport...

I am on my second Hydrotek pw and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Customer service is excellent, and the units will take quite a beating. The few minor problems that I have ever had were very easy to fix. All Hydrotek uses are CAT pumps. They last. Better than any other pump I have...

I agree. Demo's I consider just part of doing business. BUT, never for anything but commercial accounts. Depending on the size of the job, and the amount of the contract, I will still do Demo's for one time jobs. I too, clean maybe a 10X10 section. I let them pick the area that they woud...

My experience has always been "Nothing but rain, in the drain". The soaps are not even the concern usually, it is what you are cleaning. Here in CA, even doing sidewalks, you can only use tap water, no heat, no soaps, and no cleaning of any petroleum products of any kind. You can not do any more...

I have always used approximately 1500 PSI safely. I also recommend using a good all purpose adhesive remover to actually remove the sap, and follow up with the clay that lots of companies sell at any auto parts store. I think they market it as a good overspray and other APC for flaws on the...

Now Hold On!!! I have never been so UNHAPPY with a company or a product as I have been with Steel Eagle and the Fury 2400 system. Just call Lee and drop me name. He'll cringe at the very thought of it. I had #38 off of the line, 4 years ago. I understand that the units now apparently do...

Personally I can also confirm that the insurance quote that I got from Joe was 3 times higher than the quotes I got locally. I was with Joe Walters for 2 years before I upgraded my equipment. The old policy was pretty reasonable. The quote for the new equipment was ridiculous. I have a $2...

The easiest way that I have found, is when you are shutting things down for the night, before you turn off the PW, turn the spinner over and blast the heck out of the brushes and the undercarriage. This actually removes alot of the debris all by itself. When I get home and it has dried out, I...

First, I lived about 2 miles from DC in McLean VA, for years, I was born there. I can only imagine how strange that whole area must feel right now. One of the busiest cities I have ever been in. Spent the weekends at the PX. Must be weird to be empty and have the heavy security. I now live...

Unfortunately I cleaned and detailed RV's for too long. THe best thing I found and the fastest, is a good adhesive remover. BUT you need to know the surface that you are working on first. Is it the newer fiberglass or the old panels. Just rub it down with the adhesive remover, and follow up with...

Alright, gotta rub it in after Jon's last post to me. We are sitting here in Fabulous 80 degree weather. Can't honestly say I miss living in Dallas. Lived there 10 years. Do not miss the heat!!! Bad day is about 86!! Lucky if I break a sweat....... :)
