Didn't you unit come with a wand?? Get a good PC 4 jet wand. Stay away form 1 1/2" wands if you have a tm. ------------- Just My opinion |

Yes my unit came with one. It is a two jet. I think my lips on the wand tends to close up when in use. ------------- david |

We are using four-jet wands for our truckmounts as well. What you are looking for is even saturation to help with even drying. ------------- Christopher Graham West Coast Cleaning Co. Greater Seattle Area |

| I hear Doug is absolutely right. I had a friend change all his trucks from 1 1/2 to 2 inch and he says its a world of difference. |

and make sure you look into having a glide. I recommend the
Pro chem Titanium wand with a Glide from Lisa at Green Glides. The combo is pricey but one of the better decisions I have made in the last 24 years of cleaning. |

You don't recommend a Ken Glide? According to Ken, everyone uses them

Everyone does not use them, yet. For people on the USA side of the border, no question our Prochem Titanium wand with a Hybrid Superglide is the way to go. The combo will cost you about $999US. It is a great deal as the list on the wand alone will be going up to at least $1000 very soon.
If spending less money than that is in your budjet, I have 2 other wand chioces for you. The first is the excellant Quadjet wand that Doug uses and recomended to you . We sell it for $599US with glides.
If that is still too much, we also have our 2" tubed Superglide wand with the 14" wide head on it. This also comes with glides as well and is a great value at only $299US.It is the best bang for the buck you will find anywhere.

It's not that I don't recommend his. But I was treated in an excellent manner
by Lisa and Jeff and have had great luck with their product , If Ken's customers can say the same then they need to speak up also. |

Too bad you are only after a 2" tubed wand. That 1.5" tubed Superglide wand that is on ebay right now for 99 cents would be an excellant buy for you.

Nice wand, just make sure you are aware of the $200. U.S shipping fee if you live in Canada./ and delivery from the States takes forever, no fault of the vendor, the border opens almost every container. Took me over 8 weeks to get my plotter for making my vinyl signs. ------------- It`s not how far you fall...it`s how high you bounce back up... |

| Actually, the $200 gets you international air delivery in only 1 day. Brokerage is covered in that charge as well. If you get the wand for under $20, there is no GST to pay as well. Nice ,huh? For those not wanting the quick delivery that air service brings, I also offer ground service as well for $100. That takes about 8 to 10 days.Again, if you get the wand for under $20, there is NO GST OR BROKERAGE to pay either. |

Ground service is for when the plane crashes? ------------- Just My opinion |

| No, that is when you don't want to take a chance of the plane crashing with your wand in it! lol |
