I went today and once again a great show, 8) all the products on hand to feel and test, ::) suppiers there so you can moan at their bad customer care service if any, >:( or praise for good service offered. :-*

Also plenty of freebies ;D.

Just don't buy the coffee at the hotel resturant, £4.00 :o

did anyone notice capital cleaning there, not important but he is a  mate and said he is having a stall this year and wondered if he done it

I've been today, first time, thought it might have been bigger but still impressed by most of the stuff on show, a good insight as to what is on offer.
Sorry didn't notice your friends stall.
I'd recommend everyone to go, what have you got to lose.

Hi guys
Yes it was a interesting day, but did you notice, there was more window cleaning company to sell their new advance system than carpet cleaning, it goes to show how this reach & wash business growing.  :)

And there is some photos for you to see.

Post by: boshravie on March 27, 2008, 07:52:42 pm
This one is from concept 2O, I like their set up, specially the way they fitted the out lay for water feed and there is plenty of room when you have the 600ltr, tank.

Only trouble is they forgot to stick the other 101 things you need to clean windows in the van......step ladders....scrapers......squeegees......detergents.....cones.....poles.....etc etc!!!!!

Its all very nice though!!! in its simplistic form! Luke

Post by: Captain Scarlet on March 27, 2008, 07:57:48 pm

To be unest with you their system is the best I saw there, it’s the way they have fitted the
 in the (vivaro van) but I am not sure about that kind of lay out for pure water, mine was done by ionic few years back and it’s a good system, I haven’t had any problem with it so far.

OI am going back again tomorrow ;D

Had a great chat with Craig from ionics, some interesting things there, left cam in car  ::) will take it tomorrow.

Not as much there as I thought there would be, was great to listern to some of the sales pitches from some of the system sellers and supply comapnies, only wish Alex G had a stand so I could have tested the SL2 and shake his hand for the free pole.

I was looking out for you Dale (you missed the fastest wc) also Luke I wanted to say hi today,

met quite a few people there from on here though was good, some of the seminars were ok, And the marketing was great more so the after Talk I had with the boss man even learnt a bit which is always good.

Ungers free hat a bag full of stuff, ettore hat t bar ect, forgot to get the things I wanted to by but will get tomorrow.

Purefreedom are there so much want there new sysytem, but was well impressed with the ionic inside wfp just amazing, pricey but what a great idea.

I'll be there tomorrow Ian from late morning.  I will have my SL2 in the van if you want to take a look.  I'll make sure I have my mobile with me if you want to make contact.  Not much point ringing before 11 AM though as I'm unlikely to be there before that - maybe even midday.

the ford ranger pick up is a great looking van, but your looking at £28000 for bottom of the range to £33000 for top of the range!!!!

Sure some on here can afford it though!! ;)

I find the Tucker pole very good on larger jobs where I don't have to extend/close it too often. Very nice to use. One criticism is the jets are large diameter, so the water arcs out instead of coming straight, which I find doesn't do such a good job on e.g. top of bottom sash. Their suggestion is to use the overhead spray on the dual hose pole, but I prefer the simplicity of single hose.

Took us 5 hours to get there from Bournemouth as the M40 was shut. Arrived at 2 and straight into Burger king. Sad as it may seem I enjoyed it and would go again. Was thinking of buying the 24C facelift but hanging on for the slx, but wont hang on for forever Alex!!
