  1. Limonene

    its the only stuff we use....Citriclean rocks, mix with some 10% and away you go.....havent used the foamer yet with it, but I want to give it a try
  2. New equipment (sort of)

    tony, believe it or not, most of us could care less.....the more BS flash and super loud euro crap cars these kids drive today will get 10X the attention then a nice classic type muscle car.........even with slicks (even though thats a big no-no).........its the attitude of the driver and the attitude of the copper that dictates whether there is gonna be a problem
  3. speaking of paint thinner, what does it do to the inside of a shurflo ? and how safe is it to run it thru them ? seeing how it says "do not pump flamable liquid". if that is bad, how do we clean the pump after spraying sealer? always used pump ups before, no real issues there.....
  4. What happened to PWNA discussion

    A legend in the making.....LOL
  5. could always get a garden hose cart that is built on wheels, such as something like http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDUS/EN_US/diy_main/pg_diy.jsp?CNTTYPE=PROD_META&CNTKEY=storehome/pg_storehome.jsp&BV_SessionID=@@@@1779887810.1111291512@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccehaddeeffikfkcgelceffdfgidgmk.0&cm_ven=CJ&cm_cat=887519&cm_ite=Homepage&cm_pla=958792 and many places have high pressure reels that can be carried as well, with a handle on them.....I understand what your trying to do, do you remove your unit from the trailer while using it? If you do, I see the desire to pull all the hose off too.......
  6. New equipment (sort of)

    glad to hear the beast ran well.....guess you "can't always judge a book by its cover" eh? thats what we used to call a "sleeper" back in my youthful gearhead days... friend of mine had an absolute dog looking LeMans......nothing to look at, even had hubcaps...(which hid the screws holding the slicks to the rims)... fastest street 1/4 miler Ive ever seen.....its all in the guts..... hope that bad boy pw'er runs forever Ryan !!!
  7. your deck prices are waaaaay off .05-.06 sq....thats cheaper than most charge to clean concrete.....wood decks take more time, chems, 2 step process etc etc............ search under the wood restoration section, there are a lot of posts where folks talk about how much they charge..... different prices for different areas, chems, neighborhoods etc....
  8. Missing Bill Clinton

    I'd rather see a rose bush, a burning bush or even a 12 oz can of Busch sitting in the Oval Office than ANY Clinton !!! ever again
  9. Missing Bill Clinton

    both bill and hillary should be in prison, let alone running for or holding ANY office in this nation.....the crap they both pulled, its amazing how anybody that has been alive and paying attention over the past 15 years could even consider electing her into office.....then again, it seems, at times most americans are in a walking coma anyway....
  10. Missing Bill Clinton

    Hillary WILL NOT WIN !!!!!!!! (fingers crossed, praying, hopeing,wishing etc etc)
  11. Guns vs. Doctors

    Every gun law and anti-crime bill that has been written has been a HUGE failure...... we don't need more laws, we need to let the Police do their jobs, get the prosecuters and judges to do theirs.............. Enforce the darn laws we already have and stop letting the nut job California politicians dictate what this nation does. The city of Chicago has about the most ridiculous gun laws.... you (a citizen) can NOT own, possess, carry or even think about a handgun.... READ CORRECT- nobody except the Police can legally OWN a handgun in the city......that law has done wonders for the gang homicide totals here....NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. Missing Bill Clinton

    I'll second that !!!! He was the biggest practical joke on the American public since the Ford Pinto.......and during those 8 years, I couldn't find anybody that would admit to voting for him....hmmmm, yet he would probably win again if he could run, well actually he will run again, except it will be Hillary running.. (another piece of work).............
  13. no time

    for friends, family and neighbors, you could do some work for a lesser rate, such as "cost of chems, and a little extra" to cover overhead.....it will get the word out that you are in business, people will see your work, see you working, which hopefully leads to full price jobs down the road... if a family member of yours owned a car dealership, you'd like to be able to get a sweet deal on a car as opposed to a regular, unknown customer walking in... the dealership won't loose money to make you happy, but they'd make you a nice deal...... so make these friends-family a nice deal, but don't lose money doing it! just my humble .02
  14. Guns vs. Doctors

    because she thinks that she is better and smarter than the rest of the Cali folks..... as I'm typing this, your Cali Govenator is blowing everything up in Predator.... American Movie Classic channel
  15. What magazines do you subscribe to?

    mens health here... what about joe dirts favorite.... auto trader!!
  16. Best Pizza

    for frozen pizza, I like the french bread style.... here in chicago, it has to be Ginos East....super thick !!!
  17. Guns vs. Doctors

    we carry 24-7......but thats what we get paid to do, comes with the territory.
  18. Say a prayer

    we're praying...God bless
  19. Bag Of Money In A Dumpster Area!

    With Murphy and his darn law, the bag of money would have been placed there by the DEA, Customs, HIDTA or whatever other Law Enforcement agencies may be working in your areas, to be retrieved by a money launderer or dope dealer that is under surveillance, then you'd be on video making a pick up for the Cartel........spending the next 2 years trying to explain in court that you "had nothing to do with it" even though you didnt turn it in......... just putting a different spin on it....LOLOL enjoy the dreams anyway
  20. Consultative Sales 101

    Everything Ive read thus far is on the money.... They did call YOU, they know they need the service, they know it is not going to be free...... Show up on time for the estimate/meeting, nice company shirt, clean truck, smell nice, be professional (not smoking, spitting etc).... your selling YOURSELF!
  21. Cordless Tools

    Thanks Rod, are you guys (or others) using a grinder with a 4.5" wheel with defelting pads? or a regular orbital sander, or maybe even a vehicle polisher ? the sanders I have now really stink, was looking for options..... that is a good website ..... thanks for passing it on
  22. Best coffee?

    Double D........and around here, if you order in English, they will screw it up EVERY time !!!!
  23. Place to buy chemicals

    Tried that last year...walmart, menards, home depot etc etc.....powder and crystal stuff only......ACE was the only place I could find 10% liquid (and it was $3 a gallon)..... We have a couple of pool joints around, gotta go make friends !!!!!
  24. Cordless Tools

    Tony, I think that 19v setup is relatively new...I was looking at them myself, for the price it sure looks good.....Ive had craftsman cordless tools that last longer than the B&D Ive had...but I have a Dewalt drill that is awesome..... I would think that with 3 batteries, unless I'm "building" a deck, they would be good enough for general repairs....I'm going to give em a try.... the price is nice, and with the sears card it makes it even easier to look at it as $10 a month.... I have a question related here...does anybody use, ever heard of or ever even seen a cordless orbitol that can be used with defelting pads for wood restoration jobs? been lightly searching and coming up ZIPPO.....????
  25. Place to buy chemicals

    tony, storage is a problem here too, not to mention the currency to load up on everything.....i cant see myself paying shipping on liquid pool chlorine, drum deposits, etc...I NEED to find a pool guy locally here for at least the 10%...Im not sure if we can even get 12.5% here ..... I used the single gallon jugs of 10% from ACE last year and it worked fine.... the local retail megastores dont sell the liquid....only the dry crystal pool shock.....
