Well, as many of you know, STAINLESS steel isn't so STAINLESS.... I have a floor that is diamond plate stainless steel that is brand new but has dulled alot. It is also "blotchy" with a darker tint to it in some areas. It is dull and it should be shiney. There is about 4000 sq ft of this stuff and I have tried a couple of items that didn't do the job. One was the 3M Stainless Steel Polish in the gallon jug. Of all things, urine (pee-pee) is the culprit.

Skeet shooting, but only if you live out of town.

Hire them, give them NO benefits, pay them cash and keep them in places people cant see them. Using this method will save you tons of money as well as keep WC, insurance, etc down to a minimum. Make sure they know they are fired just prior to any accident happening (verbal disclaimer with them). Watch your profits SOAR!!!!!!!!

Yea, I think the aluminum will be an easy fix. The SS is what has me worried. There has to be SOMETHING. The budget is open ended. The cost to replace this much stainless will be VERY high and they know it. If they can do it for 70% less, they are happy. There are literally 1000's of alum brighteners on the market. Its a matter of finding the right one though.

Both. There is about half and half. The stainless is grade 316. I'm looking at Mothers Wax for the aluminum. I dont know how that will work. They only want a shine for a few weeks on the aluminum. Nobody knows what was spilled on the floors.... but it was urine, standing water (days I suppose) and freeon and maybe a few other things. And to double the trouble, they tried a few of their own coctails. If you know stainless, you know the care you have to take with chemicals before you start perminate damage.

Trying to match up the largest surface cleaner to machines.... 3500 PSI @ 4 GPM Will that run a 2 bar 28" "Big Guy"? If so, what size of nozzles would be best? (2) 2.5's @ 25 degrees?

Looks like it might be more trouble than it is worth. I'll sell the thing.

I have 2 16" sc's... mainly just trying to get answers about one that is bigger (28").

Not "dirty" but definately National Geographic.

Next time you are in town admiring my truck give me a call and we will get some coffee!

Discuss it with a professional so that you understand the pros and cons to each. You will then be able to decide which is best for your company.

I gave them three thumbs down more than a year ago for various issues.

Not sure how BIG of a unit you need or want or what the application is (indoors or outdoors) but I have a portable light unit that has a 6 KW generator (Kubota 3 CYL Desiel unit) and has (I think) 6 total lights on it. It is desiel ran and will run about 8-10 hours on a fill-up. This is one of those light units you see construction companies using while working at night... a BIG unit. If this isn't what you have in mind, I won't go into many details about a setup.

I am getting ready to replace an unloader on a Landra PGDC and after reading several opinions, I am thinking about the Zk1 since it is flow and will be easier on the entire system. I have a HydroTec that has a flow unloader and it is TOUCHY. At times, it won't flow ANYTHING, but other times it flows max pressure within 2-3 seconds. Hopefully this isn't normal to be so sensitive. As far as flow unloaders, is the Zk1 one of the best ones? I have found them for $57.55 (new with warranty); is there a better place to buy them?

$386.47

I have a Steel Eagle hose reel that I need to get a new frame for. Anyone know where to get parts? I need a frame for a K01-0107 stainless steel. Maybe having one made at a machine shop would be a better option?

You hit it with the spinner! Spinners are great. What I did was put the spinner on a 30' section of hose and on the other end added a quick connect that will plug into a gun. This gives you full control over ON and OFF and also allows you to use a nozzle for the fan without having to shut down your PW or using a hard to open/close valve. I also love the sound they make.

Palm Treo 650. Bluetooth plus MUCH more. It's one of those things that once you have it you wonder how you ever got along without it. I even have QuickBooks on mine so I can see bids, invoices, etc anytime. Spreadsheet with all customers names and numbers. Many uses.

I got to looking and it looks like the Zk1 is only rated to 3800 PSI. Is this correct?

$800 - $1200 is my guess

Joe Not to hijack your thread, but you have me wondering what equipment is needed to buy to turn a PW into a carpet cleaning machine? And where to buy this stuff? From the sound of it, you just need a wand for cleaning and a vacuum for pickup? I know, a few smaller things like chemicals and nozzles (maybe) but anything else?

Nobody replied that they had. But, if I could find a place to BUY them, I could tell you! I have looked and looked for these things. I have about 5 reels that are less than 6 months old and are sitting on a shelf because of broken pins. I would also say that I am 99% sure all of these pins snapped because of leaving them locked while spraying water. I have a guy that will unroll the entire reel and then lock it down. He's nuts. But, again, if I can ever locate some of these pins I will let you know if it's easy or not.

There are many many many websites with allot of interesting information in them. For example: http://freedomfiles.org/war/pentagon.htm http://www.thepowerhour.com/911_articles.htm There are literally 1,000's of "theories" as to WHY and WHO. When the Oklahoma City Federal Building was bombed, I had a brother who lived in OKC. Through his friends who supposedly worked there, some of the higher ups (officials) were supposedly told to "Stay home that day". Again, pointing to a Federal Government plot to blow the building up for whatever reason. To say the least, the after math was nothing compared to 9/11. We didn't go to war with a country due to the bomb, only convicted a couple of redneck farmers (or whatever they were). Who knows...?? I sometimes think that the average US citizen is better off NOT knowing WHY or WHO. I am sure there are BIG BIG BIG things happening today that we are unaware of and I am sure we all sleep better NOT knowing about some things. If the USA is so big and bad, why can't they catch this ONE guy Bin Laden? Or are they REALLY searching hot and heavy for him? I think we have enough technology and armed forces we could find anyone anywhere. Maybe not at the snap of a finger, but 5 YEARS? I find that hard to believe.

Jon, Save yourself any problems and rent an engine hoist from a local rental shop. They cost maybe $30 to rent and it will not only save your back, but also minimize any damage you do to your new machine.

I'd hate to guess.... I have ran 2 before for an hour with no problems. I'm not sure if they are 500W or not, but I'd assume they are. They are the yellow halogen work lights that come with a stand. I have never had the inverter shut down due to low battery during any type of MY usage. I guess it has allot to do with how new/good your battery is as well. It's hard to say if it will work for your application. For the money, it's worth the investment.
