    Switched to powder - presoak usage increased

    Is this chemical the Hobo Ideal 90? I have recently tried it on my D&S 5000, and I'm not sure it is cleaning well enough. Truthfully though, I've opperated the wash for 8 months, and I haven't found anything that seems to do a great job. The worst presoak so far was the 1B high pH presoak...

    I have 3SS + 1IBA with a coke machine and a Vitamin Water machine. The two machines are owned by Coca-Cola and they give me commissions, which don't amount to much. They stock the machines and maintain them. Do you guys own your own machines and fill them up? If so, where did you buy the...

I just...

    Last good year---2003!

    At the risk of sounding like an optimist, you should look on the other side. If people hate their cars right now because of gas prices, then as hybrids and eventually plug-in cars become common, they will be spending less on fuel and love their cars even more than ever. (I recognize this may...
