Earl,

If you are talking about the Tunnel Towel product, I never bought any, but I did look at it online once when I was thinking of placing an order from KR. I don't think it is very concentrated - 64-100:1. That is pretty watered down for a drying agent. I'm sure the price is reflective of that, plus with the buy 3 get one free deal, that helps your cost per car too, but personally, I'd rather buy a more concentrated product.

It might work great - let us know what you think if you try it.

Earl I've trying PAS5014 Simoniz Poly Sealant (Lemon) and PAS5030 Simoniz FC-3 Drying Agent.
The Poly is about $4 more per 5 gallons.
We used the FC-s in Feb. and am trying the Poly now.
It's hard to tell right now on the Poly because of the heat wave we're having, the cars are coming out pretty dry.
The Fc-3 seemed to work well even in the cold of Feb.
Neither of these were on special since their not concentrates.
You need to talk to Doug at KR to make sure you get the 1 for 3 deal.
I believe you can get the KRC280 Deep Blue Shine for the special, which I use at the self serves for our wax cycle.

Earl, PM me on this. I will get you a sample of the only chemical (drying agent) that ever completely changed my wash business. I have been using it it for a few months now and it still completely impresses me. I will give you details of why I can't mention any names here.
