<HTML>Buda, we use to seperate the soap that we used in making road oils and other Asphaltic Emulsions. When ever we had a problem come up with the State of Ky/Wva/Oh. They wanted the emulsion seperated to evaluate, all of the ingredients. We made a Brine solution to seperate the Soap, from the rest of the emulsion.

<HTML>Brian, I visited a Detailer thats opened in Kenova West Virginia this morning. I saw a large Mytee Extractor setting in the door way as I was passing by. I stopped and introduced myself,and proceeded to ask about his HP-500 Model extractor. He said that when it works, and doesn't break down its a thing of beauty. This unit was 3 years old,looks like it just came out of the box,anby Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Bud and others, I just purchased a pack of 20-14x14 inch Microfiber towels at Sam's club. Once again, I don't know how they stand up to everybody elses Top or High Quality, but what experience that I have had, them seem pretty darn good. I did get a Bath towel sized Microfiber from the auto dept at Super Walmart today,and I paid less than 5.00. It was the same color,and packby Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Bee, This unit isn't a professional Model nor should it be compaired. You get what you pay for! If you want a very good dependable small unit, email some of the detailers and see what they're using. Brian Angelucci has a Mytee, that he's been having fits with,and some others have cussed the Durrimade Units,and these units are suppose to be Top Quality, so you can get aby Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Once again, has anyone ever tried or used MicroFiber Toweling from Brotex Company in St. Paul, Minnesota? I would like to know how they stack up against the so called "Top Quality". If I am asking someone to give up their trade secret of who they purchase from, I apologize. A lady Named Joann Sparkman sent me a sample box,and the toweling didn't seem to be any better thby Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Joe, Have you tried using the "Sam's" Microfiber toweling, as you would your top quality toweling. I'd like to know the difference myself. I'm not buying a car, or a diamond, just a "Rag". About a month ago I stopped in a Detail Shop in Columbus, Ohio. The owner and I went to lunch, and while there I picked his brain some, on this and that, of detailby Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>While on the subject of MicroFiber toweling, have any of you detailer/suppliers ever tried Brotex Microfiber toweling? How does their quality (Brotex) compare with what you buy over seas? ............. Brandy !</HTML>by Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Hey Grump, I read your article Clear Coats vs Heat. I picked up quite a bit of info. It answered some questions that I had, concerning the heat build up,during the buffing procedures. Where do you get the best deal on the ETG-2 meter? The Dupont Paint Gang came by the body shop, as i told you in an earlier Email.

<HTML>Sorry for the screw up,new computer, and not use to the key pad set up as the old one was! The original question, that I wanted to ask was, what to clean this heavy tree sap of with. I plan on giving it a coat of Diamond Plus after finishing. This is a new Honda Pilot, and less than 1m miles on it. Would you all recommend using Mineral Spirits, or Zep orange cleaner, or just purchaseby Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>I just had a new client come by this afternoon,and the vehicle has been in Penn for a month or so,and has gotten an extremly heavy amount of Pine Tree Sap all over it. This thing looks like someone had sprayed it on,like the liquid masking we spray on at the Body shop. Not quite but nearly that bad.</HTML>by Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Brian, a friend of mine reuns an equipment rental store in Ashland,Ky. I noticed that he had a Thermax extractor on the showroom floor. It was one of the units that Jim Hammell was talking about. It was a CP-12.

<HTML>Hey Guys, if you don't like a certain line of equipment, you better get in writing from whom you purchase your next unit from,who in fact made this that or the other.
