How much R & D & science are prespray makers really using?

[Ken Snow]

It mostly not about savings though it is a little cheaper- it is about performance for us. In other cases, using raw materials in the quantities we consume them does save 75-80% but in most of those cases we are only talking about a couple grand a year at most.

So Ken your chemicals perform better then Bridgepoint or JonDons chems?

Did Prochem lower prices... interesting, the last tub of Heatwave I took back because it foamed like crazy, last gallon of Upholstery prespray was a different color and smelled different, and the Dry Slurry doesn't seem to work as well.

could be PC is using fillers to make up the difference?

Better than any we've tried to date.

Better than any we've tried to date.

I'm convinced that most retail chemicals either

a)are really expensive to make the business work or
b)are cost cut to the point where their effectiveness is limited severely (without using add on chems, of course)

Ken. if you make your own chemicals why dont you have a retail chemical store? It seems like a waste of good equipment.

1. By nature of the way we make it, it would not translate well to retail sale due to shipping costs etc.
2. No interest in selling in our market- we have large market share.
3. We really only make/blend a few things, most other products we buy.

Snow just come clean and admit you guys are prespraying with used anti-freeze cut with 50% auto degreaser & rinsing with Amway's SA8.
