Looks great! How much was it? Just exterior or did they do interior too?

$300. They were just supposed to do the exterior but did the cabin anyway. All of the dash and door vinyl, windshield, etc. The van still had some old lettering and a lot of sign residue and oxidized paint. They even did some paint touch ups. Better than I thought it would come out. Now time for some new signs.

Nice. You guys on the west coast benefit from salt free roads. This is my 2001 Aqua Tech with 78kms. 210 all day waste tank install this past winter, up from 100 gallon previously. 45 Roots presently, but I have a 47 on hand for next round.

Exceptional condition overall. Van came out of Pearson International Airport with 35kms on it. Good for another 20 years or so.
Do you think vintage carpet cleaning vans will ever be a 'thing' ?

About 4000 on this blower and pump. I have several more AquaTech blower/pump combos, that have followed me home. All in near pristine condition.

I am not sure how many AQT''s came to Ontario, but I have bought four plus one from BC.

My first van was a 92 GMC. Had a 93 Aquatec in it. Served me well, the guy that bought it is still going strong in Fort Mac...
Probably shouldn’t have sold it...
Do you do much padding with the roto static stuff Rob? The first place I worked had a roto static franchise but they stuck to shampoo and a 45 psi rinse.Wet for 2 days. The roto static seemed to not be capable of more than a light soil. I'm pretty sure the system has seen some upgrades from 42 years ago.

Roto-Static is not a shampoo. Dries in about an hour, when properly used. The system is far more than capable enough for all types of cleaning situations.

Our local Rotostatic guy is just that, STATIC...
I see his van sitting, doing nothing, every time I drive by to go make $$$...
