Title: Best Spotter
Post by: Darren O on March 10, 2010, 10:52:58 am
I usually use eco spotter or Zap It for general stains is there anything else out thats just as good Alltec dont sell the 5 litres of Eco spotter anymore and are charging over £7+vat for 500ml and Amtech are selling 500ml of Zap It for £6.50+vat think the prices are a bit steep.

Alltec and other suppliers aren't a charity, a few have actually fallen by the wayside probably because their profit margins were ridiculously small!... Perhaps you should consider how much profit you make in return on each product you buy and also support your supplier, because we'd be stuffed without them!

Not having a dig mate, it's just how I see it :)

Colin i think your full of crap mate  Alltec must be one of the dearest suppliers out nobody is looking for charity when i buy Prochem chemicals i always buy from my local dealer even if i can get it cheaper elsewere but when suppliers nearly double there prices i no when iam getting shafted the women from Alltec basically agreed with me on the phone about the price of 5 litres and 500ml of Eco Spotter.

Darren try amtech. They sold one step, which you can vary the dilution, for various jobs but re-branded it a while back. I find it is an excellent all rounder, and they were doing 20l for £37. buy 1 get 1 1/2 price.

I dilute one step premium for my everyday spotter couple of drops of citrus boost and away you go. generally 50 -50 dilution water to one step. works well of course i have other spotters for problems but why pay so much for wht is basicallly ms diluted
