    High pressure questions

    Since this is the conveyor section, I will tell you that if you have enough equipment you only need High Pressure for the nooks and crannies of the wheels. For the tops I know the customers like the "effect" so i closed half the nozzles and bypassed half the water so they get the swish / swish...

    16" Diamete single wall Vent for Boilers

    My Floor and water heat Boilers share a Vent / Flu duct. It's Single wall and 16" in Diameter where it's rusted out. Does anyone have an on line source? I seem to find either Double wall or just Duct pipe which I think is less sturdy.

    Rust Inhibitor or Rust Buster

    Maybe 30 years ago Walt Tack of Fon Du lac gave a talk to our association about menu pricing vis a vis setting A La Carte times at prices and then making the package Pricing savings attractive. Seemed to work well. I may be a dinosaur in that all times are offered A La Carte as well as in...

    When Rain X First Came out I would not put it in because i felt it had little value as an A la Carte item. Then when I was thinking about Tire Shine I put in both that and Rain X to create a new top package. (5 day C;lean Car Guarantee) As a package builder I think it has value. As A La...

    AFAIAC they have outstanding service outreach. A couple of times I made a forum post about an issue I had with their equipment, someone at Sonny's took the time to find my phone number and call me to reach a solution. Even fabricating a fix and only charging me for shipping. I bought some...

    Rust Inhibitor or Rust Buster

    FWIW our a la carte items are Chassis Bath $1.00 and Rust inhibitor $2.00. We sell quite a few chassis Bath A la Carte in Salt season, but rarely sell the Chassis Bath and Rust inhibitor A La Carte because for another dollar the customer gets the package that includes both Sealer and Polish...

    Rust Inhibitor or Rust Buster

    Well at least we agree things are better today. I have "heard"( no source cited) that there is some corrosion inhibitor used along with salt applied to roads for de icing. As far as relying on what OEM's chose to publish, count me among those who trust little in that. Same OEM's who published...

    Rust Inhibitor or Rust Buster

    During this discussion RJR expressed his opinion that " Corrosion of automobiles has been virtually alleviated due to vehicle design, method of assembly and coating technology." and that applying Rust Inhibitor at car washes was worthless.
