I got a letter this morning from Bane advertising various chemicals and electric truck mounts, they said they've been going for 30 years, the chemicals sound quite good, but am just wondering if any of you have tried them and if their worth a look.

Basically a poor quality flyer posted in an envelope.

Post by: gwrightson on February 06, 2009, 03:51:01 pm: Joe , as far as I am aware they are a good products, although I have never used them personaly, the guy I bought the machine from a number of years ago swore by them .

Sheffield Shaun or M halliday may throw a little more light on the chemicals as they have both owned bane machines.

Post by: Mike Halliday on February 06, 2009, 03:55:26 pm: I used thier chemicals for a few years and found them excellent, if you use a machine without a heater then they are good, they mix very well and totally dissolved in cold water.

there orange scent additive was the most powerful I've ever smelled,

if I lived near Spurgeons I use them all the time but I had to buy them in massive 55lb drums to make it worthwhile ordering stuff.

did they quote any prices

Post by: md_cleaning on February 06, 2009, 04:16:58 pm: Some prices, but apart from PCA formula 5 in a 65 lb drum at £185 the leaflet dosn't give the volume.

Post by: Shaun_Ashmore on February 06, 2009, 09:05:35 pm: I always loved the Bane clene stuff and Spurgeons were very good but getting teh stuff was the problem, they also sell Pros choice (Derek behave!) which are outstanding products and 10 years or so ago they were selling 'Baby safe' but have been superseeded by

Post by: andi wilson on February 23, 2009, 11:10:11 pm: Rob is a top guy at Spurgeons... Bane clean products very good.

Try the Perky spotter... Silly name, but by eck it does work!!
Title: Re: Bane clene chemicals
Post by: Peter Blackburn on February 24, 2009, 12:01:29 am: I have grown my business over 9 years on Bane chems and go through tons of PCA 4 powder. If you take a look in my van its the only chem range I have.
The chemicals are great but unfortunatly the service, Robs attitude and his phone manor are stand off ish and rude, they also have a habit of sending late payment invoices for products you have all ready paid for, possibly in the hope you have forgotten and will pay again.
