Title: Roto Brite machine question
Post by: Linds Russell on October 29, 2010, 04:52:38 pm: Hi all

I have just been given a Chemspec Roto Brite bonnet cleaning machine. ;D

Does anyone know if the drive pad comes off and if it will take a shampoo brush? Its a 20 inch disk.

Thanks

I have also been onto my supplier who have seven of these in use but only for bonnet mopping. The office manager is speaking to the senior tech / MD on Monday to find out what fits it.

Post by: Linds Russell on November 04, 2010, 08:02:48 pm: Barry, would you believe I spoke to Jamie about my machine today and he offered to buy it from me!!! I am swapping it for a tank, a shampoo brush and some bonnet mops for my Victor Sprite. Bonus as I paid nothing for the Roto Brite machine.

All's well that ends well and all that and I think the Roto Brite machine would have just gathered dust with me anyway ;D
