Nice video! Back in da day I was told the carpets would take weeks to dry. That style cleaning was not possible with a few hour dry time. Wow I guess the few hints I thru out sparked some thinking outside da box..... now standard wands come custom jetted, aimed at the glides not straight down, wand styles changed, wanding techniques ect. All that shit we were doing 25yrs ago. Remember when Ken H started machining the first delrin glides fer da pmf wands.

The reason I'm here because I fooked up my back bad and haf to stay off truck fer few weeks. Moving a lot of furniture and cleaning a lot will take it's toll on da body.....

It's the operator and experience and most guys here know that. Whatever you use the results come from YOU .I see some with equipment worth much more than mine but the end results are less. I had a hydramaster 470 D lots of heat & vac but way to hot in fl. had vapor lock in the carb sold it and have a base Cobby with a 45 blower and can still get heat at 240 atm. Each job up to me to decide what to use and how much for better results. Some other cleaners that have been doing it over 20 yrs or longer still don't get right but that's all they want. .Your reputation is what your long time customers keep calling you for expecting no problems with your company.

Mike I really meant no disrespect but that was what was pushed the last I was around the net. I had the big truck but it didn't work well for our small driveways here. SO we put the big machines back in vans with all live reals and the rewards were just what we were looking for. Simplicity, easy set up, roll up and efficient. Jus now the vans are packed...

The machines nowadays are a lot better than those of previous models. But I still have my standards. All stainless steel, did I just say that

You guys simply amaze me. :icon_rolleyes:

You put a truck mount into a van with no exhaust exiting the vehicle. :dejection:

Why do you not at least put an exhaust outlet under the vehicle.? 🤔

I would also place the waste hose out of the other, closer door unless there is a legitimate reason not to.

Does it ever rain over there??

If so, why not have a door that at least lifts up to help protect the interior from the weather, as well as make it drier for the operator to unload/load the vehicle. ??

Failing that, you COULD have an awning attached to keep the side of the of the van which is open to the elements, dry.

You could also sit a chair under it for a coldie when finished. :very_drunk: :very_drunk:

Shorty, all our vans the exhaust exits under the vehicle in front of the drivers wheelwell with a 3ftx8" sound suppressor going forward to just b4 drivers door then exits facing passenger side. This setup keeps fumes away from entry doors and ur face when standing at machine.

We keep 65qt coolers on each truck full of beer. Neva throw cans out da windows but we do try to use the customers recycle container for dem.

Hi Shorty lots of rain here in Fl I use a large flat sheet over both side doors with cords to hold it down . It protects the engine from the rain and allows me to work but I still get wet but I was born wet. jz.

Sure ain't those liked around here. We've tried the free samples, bought some others and end up right back to the old faithful. We have done so many side by sides both residential and commercial. Some highly pushed products didn't work at all for us. Even doubling the strength. Too much washy washy rinsey rinsey and not enough clean.
