wishy without being rude I'll give you some advise. write on the computer like you are speaking to someone stood next to you, no one can be bothered to give you an answer because you just say

"opinions of the best portable machines

and cleaning chems

thanx in advance"


if you walked up to me and said that I'd tell you to pi*ss off.

plus a lot of people ignore post from people with alias or stupid names.

but to answer your questions Chemspec for chemicals, any portable with 3x3 stage vacs & above 200psi pump, if you can get an on-board heater that would be a bonus

LOL, i was thinking the exact same thing.  The thankx in advance thing is like- yeah and im not even going to bother replying to the replies.

I say Spucket and fairy is the answer.  Spucket is a sponge in a bucket and frequent users are called spukkers.  Im sure there are allergy remediation versions that contain magic water wich is the mother spucket.

Some of you obviously lead very sad lives in that you are prepared to critisise without offering constructive help to a newbie.

My advice would be to gather information on several types of machines, look at the market you are targeting and then ask peoples opinions on specific machines and chems. When it comes to machines and chems what suites one doesnt always suit another.

I personally like prochem and craftex chems and machines.

And yes for all the smart ar... out there there are probably several spelling mistakes in this post.

How do you know the poster is a " newbie " you should be aware of the clowns who are trying entice forum members to their site...............I have received several e'mails from the people concerned, each one claiming changes of ownership, but the pattern continues.

Being sceptical, is not being unhelpfull, it's simply being cautious.

You should also know, that the quality and volume of helpfull postings on here, is quite staggering and considering the time and cost it takes to become competent in this industry, it's pretty amazing that so many give information so freely.

Anyone finding a forum like this, should make some effort, by reading past posts, rather than just ask questions.

If they give some clues as to where they are and what sector they are in, or hope to work in, information / help will flow.

Finally..................there is no best machine, or product, as each individual will have different experiences from machines and chemicals, just as each individual will get hugely differing results from using the same machines and chemicals.

A competent operator will get a better result, from a machine with 100 psi and a single vacuum, than an incompetent operator with a truckmount.

PS ....................what does the name Wishy Washy conjure up in your mind?

It is the tone of the previous post not the content that i object to.
Fair enough then if it is somebody trying to undermine the site then i would happily retract my comment.

You are correct with your comment....

I have actually done this although at the time I was unaware that I was following a guy who had used a truckmount on the job previously...he had taken an existing job from me on price

I would never answer to a post who asks advise in that sort of way, who has a daft name, doesn't fill in a profile.

I can't understand why people never say where they are from & their name.

You could always start again.

Change your username, fill in your details, read old posts and come back with questions that show at least you have done some initial legwork yourself.

I think everyone deserves a second chance.
