Just the very basics.

K.I.S.S.

Drivers side

Passenger side

Next week-end the (hopefully), the remaining shelves go in, & all VLM equipment into place.

Vehicle is a Toyota Hi Ace with a 2.7 litre petrol (gas) engine.

Auto tranny

Full air, power windows, mirrors, etc.

Weather shields on both front doors.

Technician step at rear. (This needs to be straightened due to previous owners driving). :-(

Aust; Stnd; reg; cargo barrier behind front seats to stop any equipment entering the front area.

I have also placed items in a way that they will be stopped before moving forward, backward or sideways much with little or no tie downs.

Just looking at Angie's List this morning and noticed that the description of different carpet cleaning methods just echos what the industry has always said. I wonder if there will ever be a distinction made between "bonnet" cleaning and "op". With bonnet cleaning, it says that only the top 2/3 of the carpet is cleaned and the residue and junk is left in the bottom 3rd at the backing.
It is not capable of removing all the soil and considered a good method for lightly soiled carpets only.
I know that guys like John. G. have fought this for decades, and I'm certainly not the only one to be frustrated by it but it makes me wonder why it's so hard for op to be truly recognized as a viable alternative that actually does remove tons of soil and even surpass the effects of HWE in many cases.
When you live in a rural area, where "new" ideas are often meet with stern resistance, it makes it very difficult when some people automatically assume a challenger machine or orbot is a "floor buffer" and where's the steam?
I have managed to convert many customers after seeing the results for themselves, but when all of the information out there suggests that one of your methods is less than thorough, it's frustrating.

Rick, Does the wave solution tank come with a trigger set up of some sort? I want to put it on my challenger and wondered if I would have to buy anything additional to make it work.

What are the correct procedures for encapping residential carpet. Thanks

On a Cimex machine, is the shower feed a single metered outlet under the deck that dribbles onto the pads or is it more elaborate than that?
Just curious

I thank heaven that I have many,many referrals and a fine diversity of work.

Just for fun, today I got on Craigslist and saw how the carpet cleaners sell their services.
Frankly, I never considered it or even paid attention till this morning.

Are their any Craigslist users out there?? Any stories? I could not work that way but I am sure it works for some.

Did a compilation of some cleaning pics. You may not like my taste in music LoL. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi Rick & Co
I'm about to service my cimex's and was wondering how long the bearings last.
My 2010 models ok, but my 2008 is groaning a bit.
I'm replacing the drive belt and reverse switch cam on this one.
Is it worth replacing the bearing? (I guess I mean is this easy?)
And is there anything else worth replacing while it's off the road?
Cheers & Beers
Geoff

I think I need one- haha!

Just looking for your analysis and review as not only a seller, but also as a user in the field.


ease of use?
weight and feel.
Replaceable or serviceable parts that may require maintenance?

What is your position on this matter.
