True. A $1000 pad machine is way more affordable. OK, great idea.

No, you get a machine the same size  and capability as the 17" Conquerer with the 3/4 HP motor. I call it the Apex. It is the best pad machine you will be able to buy for the dollar.

I would say so Doug. The real big money is still selling the pads, but you need to have a good pricepoint on the dispensers for the mainstream cleaning community to adopt this cleaning method in a big way.When I was at KK for glideday, I was more than watching. I heard many of the cleaners there say that they liked the concept and results of padding; but felt that the $2000+Cdn cost of the machine was too much. Many said that if they were selling around the $1000 mark, that they would get one. I will be doing my part to help that happen.

It was going to be primarily aimed at the Canadian market Doug. Thanks to some words from Padman, the US market got added to my marketing plan as of today.

Yes, but not as large as you think. I have already rebuilt the number of distributors selling my glides up to 88 stores. Many of these will sell the machines and pads as well as the many other products that I have planned. I will add to this number of distributors as time goes on.
