Klean-Wall VS Mister Plumber ($1 Store Crap)

IMG_1617.JPGIMG_1626.JPGIMG_1629.JPG

I got a sample of Klean-Wall free from his website at apchemical.com and I purchased some Mister Plumber from some Dollar Store down the street.  The Fake Drano contains: water, sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide and surfactants.  The Klean-Wall contains: magic.

Both sections look equally as bad.  The directions on the Klean-Wall said 3-5 minutes so I let both chemicals stay on 5 minutes.

The Klean-Wall after 5 minutes did a lot better job (first picture).  But the Fake Drano did a pretty good job.

I reapplied the Fake Drano and let it sit for 30 minutes.  It turned out a lot better but not as good as the Klean-Wall.  But for the price of the Fake Drano maybe you should try Fake Drano over Klean-Wall?

Break In Attempt?

Not really sure if someone tried to break in to get their Little Tree, but the machine was out of order and I lost TONS of vending sales!

Speaking of vending sales Greg and I were talking about vending machines breaking.  He also has an old Dilling & Harris Max-Vend II Vendor.  It really doesn’t make any sense to purchase an expensive vendor since the vendor costs around $3,500 to only make $100 gross a month?  Then you have to stock the machine and if your lucky you make $50 net.  You could do that with a couple crappy drop vendors.

So the plan is to sell the Maxy while it still works then install drop vendor!  Take the money and purchase a sign or something that could actually make you some money!

IDX X10 Has 9 Lives?

I really don’t understand why this IDX coin acceptor hasn’t died yet?  I used to have 4 other IDX X10 coin acceptors and I think they all broke 4 years ago.  What makes this X10 so special?  Why mister X10 do you still work when all your brethren are long dead!  Why can one X10 last so long?  Is it the Magic Duct Tape?

I purchased these FloJet pumps with motors a loooooong time ago and today I decided to try them out.  They actually worked!  I am thinking of installing the 3 x 35-OM pumps at Wylam to replace my FloJet air pumps.  The only problem it I need a presser switch.

Professional Carwashing & Detailing – Spam/Email?

I just got a spam email from Professional Carwashing & Detailing about Jim Coleman’s “Hot New Look!” and by the email it hints that maybe Jim is changing their color sceme?  Does Jim Coleman really want to keep up with the “lastest color tends for your carwash”?  I hope so I really like Jim Coleman stuff but that teal color or the Lamborghini? Come on!

The product they were promoting in the email was also interesting:   a vacuum and air machine, which is a great idea.  Not really sure why it needs 2 coin acceptors though?  But the sticker is better!
