I wish I could say more about the wand, I am so freaking happy the way it is coming out. I know with out a doubt it is gonna blow a lot of minds when we launch it. It is so far away from anything out right now.
I have gotten compliments from TWO of my long time PM companies asking what have you changed in your cleaning, BOTH have told me if I need to charge a little more to keep doing it that it is totally okay.
I have been with them for about 7 years now....they do know that I make the filter, and am always trying to improve my cleaning...nobody has seen the wand, and yes I have been trying a new pre-spray also, so it could be a little of both.
I could not be teamed up with a better partner, Tim has just been freaking awesome. This is the thing, I have entered into the wand market, I was teamed up with Tony D, and the wand is now pretty well know as the DEVPRO...I did help him in ways and I hope that it works out for him, I really do, just like with Joe Bristor, we worked together for some time and well the industry now has some great choices for inline filters that range from 99.00- 500.00 +
With Tony I was working with a design that was a copy of the PC Ti, the DevPro is a good wand but it will always be in the shadows of the original one and only PC Ti.
This wand is my creation...being brought to reality by my Fabricator Tim...we just click. So many of you have been customers of mine from the beginning and have used the original Dev filter....and have now gone to the newer design.....and have experienced the performance, and qaulity improvements from what I was capable of doing myself, to what Tim has been able to do with my ideas to make them a reality.
With Tim's talent my ideas for improved airflow ARE getting done, I just can't say all the things we are working on...I had to promise Tim I would not leak them....I am down to nubs biteing my nails I am so excited, and also nervous very nervous but this is what TRUE innovation is.
There are several truely new ideas I have and we are going to try them all....we are going to be getting one of them back to test in a few weeks.. I am the most excited about, is it gonna work....OH I AM HOPING SO it will be so flipping awesome if it does.
We have the swivel, from my working on the DevPro, but I feel I need to address the maintenace of the swivel, a little better when we launch the new wand. We will more than likely send that info out with the new wands that come with the swivel, basically just a instuction sheet on how to maintain the new wand and its features.
We will have both swivel / non swivel models.
We are hoping to meet with patent attorney in the next week or so, we also should be just getting the first heads in from the machinst, I have my first batch of TI tubes already from PMF and they are beautiful, yes Tony D had Ti tubes but the finish was nothing like what I pulled out of the box from PMF...OMG they are BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU PMF they are perfect.
PMF will also give us the ability to custom fit wands to the needs of the guys that buy our wand, that is awesome.
For many years the PRO CHEM TI was a wand that only the elite of cleaners had, I am sure a lot of cleaners dreamed and possibly still do of having one in there hands, I did. I think that the Pro Chem Ti days are coming to a end sadly, as copies of it are being made of it now. Soon it will be so copied that its uniqueness will soon be lost.
I know it is a huge statement...but I want that spot I want to be that wand that so many say man the " NO NAME" wand is sick. Will it be....I don't know like I said I am hoping....being second is not good, because there is SO MANY great wands below that mark, and I am not saying that is a bad thing it is just that there is so many great wands to chose from once you go below number 1.
I am giving it the best of my best and hoping it turns out to be what I am hoping for. All I can say is so far it is doing very well, and as it stands right now with my prototype it would shock most of you by the way it handles in action, everything about how a wand handles and how everyone expects a wand to feel is nothing like what we have right now.
After the meeting with patent attoney and if he gives the okay I will be more than happy to explain what we are doing.
