Since i learned of KR on this forum several years ago I have used them for a lot of stuff. Had a half dozen reps claim they could match cost and some were lucky to escape with their lives. One has matched the price on some items.

Have been a customer of Diamond Shine for over 20 yrs. Don’t see that changing anytime soon.

We use JBS Fonic Wash from Kleen-Rite, we don’t have any reputable soap sales people in our area. We buy all of our supplies once a year when Kleen-Rite has the Buy 3 get 1 Free soap special. JBS Fonic is $72.29 per 5 gallon pail. When it’s on special it’s $55 a 5 gallon pail when you buy 3 and get one free. After you mix it with 10 gallons of water the price of a usable 5 gallon pail is $18.00 for a 5 gallon pail.
For Presoak we use Kleen-Rite Super Wash, it costs $70.75 for 50 Lb. box that makes up 55 gallons of Presoak. That ends up costing $1.29 per gallon for a product that has excellent cleaning ability.

MEO,
I have heard a couple guys in Dallas area switch from Scotch Plaid recently. said they were not customer friendly at all, & 1 guy said he was treated horribly after many years (& even gave em a 2nd chance).
I am NOT knocking them, just telling stories I got 1st hand...

I've used one chemical vendor (Warsaw) for various items around twenty years. I do buy other products from other vendors. Currently getting a lot of my CCP and SS products from Quest.
I really like Scotch Plaid extreme presoak, but the other products not so much. I used to use it as a foam brush in the winter months to get that extra "bite" that most foam brushes don't have.
