Cleaning out the old equipment

I disconnected my Clean Concepts dilution tank today.  But while searching for Clean Concepts on the internet I found an article from Professional Carwashing and Detailing March 2001.  The article is all about Mark Carlson CEO, firing people, a foreclosure, Arkansas police and much more even a ROBO was involve. It was a good story and basically the result is Clean Concepts is out of business……..
