I bought 2 gallons to try and I paid $19.00 per gallon and so far I've done a little under $1400.00 worth of jobs using less than a half gallon. I'm liking it...

Trust me...I'll be buying a lot more from them. It's well worth it.

That is possible. I'll check the label it in the morning. I'll also be stopping by there sometime this week. I'll see if I can get the MSDS sheet on it. Right now I'm just going by what they told me and Lord knows I ain't no scientist. Hahaha!

Hey Lar do they have Ammo too?
I don't know if you have used it yet but it's a joke. It is so thick that it sticks in my tank and every once in a while I don't have to add anything and it is just like I put a quart of it in there.
It actually can be a pain at sometimes, but for this kind of weather you can't beat it. I still use the Amlo all of the time I like having options.

I actually have tried it and didn't really care for it too much. It just didn't seem to do any better on the tile roofs we do. Maybe it works better on shingle but I never tried it on the very few shingle roofs we clean.

Thats right, I forgot your a mainly a tile roof guy. I can see how it wouldn't work as well. I agree it can be a PITA but it does help me too.

Can you see if they have a price on that too?

As long as you're checking prices, see if they will offer a discount for RCIA "members". May be worth asking about. Let us know.

I will check for you when I stop in...I'm not even sure if they carry the M. If you want to find out quicker give them a call. They are real nice people and easy to deal with. http://www.knt-ent.com/contact.asp

I stopped in yesterday to get a new pulley cord for one of my machines. I asked about the "M". They said they are working on that particular one right now.

They also asked me "what the heck did you do?" Apparently they have gotten a lot of calls from guys here on RCIA ordering the Apple Scent and also the Ammonyx Lo.
I actually got a call from the owner of Power Kleen Inc, yesterday and he wants to have a meeting with me about what the needs are as far as equipment here on RCIA. We will also be discussing the possibility of them becoming a paid vendor, something they are already excited about.

That meeting will more than likely take place today or tomorrow. They are also in the process of putting together an on line web site to place orders which is costing them upwards of $35K with server upgrades. Something they never had before. Good stuff in the works guys. Stuff that will benefit not just all the members here on RCIA but for the entire industry. I will keep y'all posted.

Thanks Gary. I also just got on my Insurace Companies preferred vendor list list. I'm gonna check with them to see if they can provide business insurance for companies that are not in FL. If they do I think it may be a good idea to maybe have an Insurance vendor on board for the guys as well. Any thoughts??? Here is a link to thier site. They handle very type of Insurance from vehicle to WC for companies. I've been with them over 4 yrs now and Love them.

I bought a 55 gal drum for $556 for Lo and $629 for Mo. If you are in it for the long haul by in quantity and save.

You got it right Michael for a rocket scientist not a chemist. Like you I like the Mo better for roofs.
