    ICA Show Observation

    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?

    Reclaiming Water in a Dog / Pet Wash

    I get calls quite often from people who want to reclaim/recycle water from a dog/pet wash. I thought I'd post on here to offer an understanding of why it is NOT recommended. Dog / Pet washes differ from car washes in that you are washing an animal, not a car. When washing living animals, we...

    Credit Card Benefits

    I was recently in San Antonio on business. The last day there, I come out of my hotel (on my way to the airport) to find someone had backed into my rental car and left a big dent in the back door of it (mini-van). Of course, they left with no note or anything. I never buy the adder insurance...

    Controversial Article

    I'm not biased one way or another when it comes to car washes as I am a reclaim system manufacturer. I wash my car in several types of washes. However, when I read things that appear to be written by someone completly ignorant, it bothers me. I've been in this industry quite a few years now...
