I have always used Square D contactors that I supply. I have watched my electrician clean the contactors up on many things with great results and long term results.

Sometimes you can file the contactors and clean them up without replacing them.

I use only a high PH presoak with no acid. You need to get a PH tester and a titration kit. I like to test both when checking my chemicals. Companies have different strengths they like to run to acheive cleaning. I have seen PH recomendations from 11.0 to over 12 on the PH scale. That is for the...

I would probaly have gone with one that has a 3 stage vac motor instead of a 2 stage motor. 3 stage motor will generally get 140" of lift vs. the 102 on this machine. Higher lift means dryer interior. THe nice thing about the unit you got is that it is very portable. I think you could retrofit a...

Most bearing shops have lovejoy couplers. I have also seen them advertised in Dultmier and other carwash catalogs.

Boats can be tough to buff out and wax. WE charge beween $15 to $20 per foot for boats and RVs for detailing.

Danny, so far no problem with the cyclo foam pads but have not had them very long. Lexus does not use base coat, clear coat on their black paint. Back in 91 probably did not use 2 step paint anyway. Lexus black paint is pretty hard compared to a 2 step paint so I can see why the yeloow pad...

Also when using your extractor make sure you have a heavy duty extension cord. Too light of duty cord will burn up the heater and shorten the life of the motors.

Actually this forum had been talking about this 10 days before it was raised on another forum. This is the place for cutting edge.

I was thinking of getting a large digital sign board at one location that has 40K plus traffic each day. I asked the sign company guy about selling advertising on it to other businesses. He said that when you do that you fall under billboard policy and would likely be declined a permit for it...

I like it because it is balanced better and much easy to control. I got mine with the velcro pads that will accept foam pads of various degrees of polishing foams it and has many other attachments you can buy. You can use it to buff wax off with various bonnets like micro fiber etc. From all I...

Who else is using Cyclo dual head polishers? I just got my first one and think it is great. Makes buffing and polishing cars mush easier than 7 inch sander/polishers IMO.

People who were selling them at the ICA show said they are not as absorbant as microfiber. THey rated a Micro as a 10, a bamboo as a 4 and a cotton as a 1 for absorbancy. They said the bamboo towel was much softer than either towel and is the best for final detailing and wax removal.

I heard today that the ICA and some of the regionals are getting involved in this disparaging ad. I think they will be writing to Mothers about this ad.

I have a diamond masonary saw blade for my circular saw that does a good job of making clean cuts. Not sure if it would work for what you are doing but it works great on concrete and block.

I talked to a friend of mine who sold his new pharmacy business about a year ago to Walgreens. He kept the building which is less than 5 years old. He has had 3 offers for it in the last year all got the fianancing turned down. 2 of the 3 were doctors who the bank would not loan to.

I found a 10 pound box of powdered milk in the dumpster today. Now I won't have to eat my morning cereal dry for a while.

If you look at what Ford did in 2007 and early 2008 they mortgaged everything they had to stockplie cash. Chrysler and GM did not leverage their assets before the economy took a downturn. FOrd is still in control of its destiny while the others can't mortgage their assets and have to go to the...

Mother's car wax sucks In the June 2009 Car and Driver magazine Mother's waxes has a full page add calling drive through rollover carwashes the purest form of evil. Goes on to say that the devil put in some serious overtime inventing these. It is a complete ad dissing our industry. I don't...

Check the hose very carefully for any holes first. Take a new peice of hose and put it on the switch and put a bolt in the other end. When you step on the hose you should hear a clicking sound as the switch gets activated. Air switches are very cheap so I keep a couple on hand.
