OK so when I first entered the TM scene I was inundated with the name Prochem. Anyone know when they first started making them? Who made them? Which models came first? Any background information along with your experiences with Prochem would be nice to hear. here is mine;
Machine; I ended up buying a Prochem Legend. It was decent for short hose runs and the heat was ok but temperamental. It was tough to work on but it lasted a long time and made me a lot of money. I still have a Prochem Performer which to me has been the best model they ever made. But even though it claims 2 wands it is only good enough for one. But as a one wand machine it is a beast. But like the legend, working on it is a bear.
Tools;I bought the Quad wand, a bit heavy but man it was a cleaning work horse. I also bought the furniture tool. I like the spray and adjustable vac features. But it's little on the heavy side but we are still using them. Eventually we bought the Ti wands and that is what we use the most now.
Chemicals; Ultrapac is a great prespray. But you better rinse it well. It smells a little strong and some customers complained. Many of my techs won't use it for that reason but some still swear by it. The Dry Slurry left way too much residue for us. Really haven't tried too many of their other products.
