Don't think I could manage Derek and Clinton on the same day I would be suicidal by dinner time

Will find out in the morro and post here,  it will be things like repairing holes, scratches, fixing colour loss and general restoration i think.  They dont have any courses coming up but will do one if the interest is there.

If it includes repairs then I could do with a refresher, so I'd be interested in taking a place.

i'm sure it'll be 5 + mike, why would they limit it. if we can get 10 then thats £50 each, bloody ruddy bargain.

I had some knocked up that say 'specialist truckmounted cleaners' under the Dirtbusters part.

I also have an ad in a local mag circa 2000, I usally get a couple of jobs off it but this month I got 7 as the ad was just a paragraph explaining the benefits (faster cleaning, drying etc) of the tm and each custy asked me about it  ;D

Actually it's not a good idea, Mike would just take the p1ss out of me and Derek's enthusiasm would do my head in. ;D

Dave looks like your reaping the benefits of the truck mount then :)

Main benefit is speed.  Dont miss setting the porty up.  What do you have Clinton?

Just i have always managed with the porti but since being on the forum have thought of upgrading.

And works both ways

Get a Prowler, you know you want too  ;)

Spoke to Ben at FC and details are as follows -

2nd week in Jan is good
£500 per day (max 4 due to space in spray booth)
2 days best to cover more work
They are fleiable on what is done so those who want to go need to compile a 'to do' list.

So you are looking at £250 each plus a night over, you will of course get this back on your first leather restoration job  ;)

email me info@carpet-cleaning-liverpool.co.uk if interested, although Derek, Clinton and Mike have first come first served rights.

Another course can be added if more want in  ;D

Might upgrade next year dave as there will be many deals on the market i think.

Might look at the scorpion as well as i would have to invest and uprgade the van to put the prowler in as my van is not large enough.

I also have a motorbike and  run a car so would not want to part with either :(
