Is anyone offering this service? If so, what methods are you using? How long does it take? What do you charge?

Most reclaim manufacturers don't like to do self service bays because of the contaminants that people pour down the drains. I have an article about reclaiming in self service bays if that might be helpful. E-mail me at d.taylor@catec.com if interested.

I would think contact cement would work well.

Easy Off Oven Cleaner works great for decal removal.

An Ozone system will kill odors in vehicles quickly and effectively. We had a fellow that was fishing and got called away on a family emergency. He left his SUV in hot Florida sun with a catch of fish in the back. When he returned, his vehicle was un-drivable due to the horrific odor. He tried...

You got it Mac. Some will tell you anything to make the sale. I stick with the truth as I know it will prevail. Plus I like to sleep at night.

I got this in an e-mail from a car wash collogue. (YouTube link below) So yes, it's on its way. But like Mac said, it will take a lot of years to be implemented on all new vehicles. Until then, there are still millions of cars that require washing...

I see several reclaim system manufacturers are boasting 5 Micron Water Quality using only Hydro-cyclonic units for filtration. Fact is, these units can only separate to 50 Microns, at best. I obtained data and charts reflecting this directly from the manufacturer of a hydro-cyclone used on a...

@ Robert Roman... Great write, my friend. As sad as it is, it is true and relevant.

A good water reclaim system can reduce water/sewer in a SS by about 80%. A lot of reclaim systems don't do well in SS environment but there are some that do. There are also systems that you can treat and reuse rain-water. Did you know treated filtered rainwater is Spot-Free? True.

I'm (reluctantly) in Chicago attending the ICA show this week. The weather is clear blue, chilly (actually cold) and windy. But hey, at least it's not raining or snowing, right? I don't have any factual information or numbers, so this is just my observation and opinion today: There was a small...

I knew Hydro Management / Aquamizer went out of business but did not know Bob Harvey passed away. Sorry to hear this.

I hear that Bob. I look forward to seeing you there. I'll swing by and chat when you're not too busy.

I imagine they are but as we all know, everything works good in a booth.

After further review, I have decided to go to the ICA show. Mainly because I have some clients that want meet me there and sit down one-on-one to discuss their washes and how recycling water can really help their bottom line. I find that most owners would much rather sit down to discuss their...

Is anyone running this kind of pressure (2000 PSI) in their SS bays? What are the Pro's and Con's of running the pressure this high?

Maybe when they figure out half the vendors and attendees feel the same way and won't be there, they will quit having the show in Chicago. The last time we had a booth there, the associated costs and unions made it a complete nightmare! I can tell you some stories you won't believe about the...

OMG That's terrible. And yes, Mitch was a great guy. So sad.

Wow, so sad. And that was posted just two months ago.

Does anyone know what happened to him?
