"As you know Shelby Enterprises has been
looking at solvent free parts washers for
over two years. During this time we have had
the opportunity to meet with and try several
systems on the market. At the beginning of
our search we were not at all happy with the
systems available. They would cause rust or
leave a deposit on our supposedly clean
parts! This was not acceptable. We decided
to let the parts washer people "fight it
out" to see what system came out on top in
the end. I'm happy to tell you that your
Renegade Solvent Free Parts Washers are the
best we have seen. They are able to handle
any cleaning chores we throw at it. The
friendly service we also receive from you
helps make this a good choice in cleaning
systems for Carroll Shelby Enterprises, We
look forward to working with you in our
future cleaning needs."

"Just a note to let you know how pleased
we are with the parts washers we purchased
from you. I've had nothing but positive
feedback from all my techs, not to mention
the money I save not using Safety-Kleen! I
do appreciate your professionalism and
personable service. Don't even think of
going anywhere! I'll hunt you down!"

Renegade Parts Washers put Safety-Kleen to

"As you are aware we purchased nine
Renegade Parts Washers from you and have
greatly reduced our cleaning solvent
consumption, and are very pleased with the
overall performance of the equipment.
However, as any company would try to save
money, we searched the country for a more
competitively priced detergent to be used in
the parts washers. We found and tried
several different types, the results were
devastating. Our technicians broke out with
several different types of skin diseases
ranging from dermatitis, to allergic
reactions. We switched back to the renegade
detergent six months ago and we haven't had
any more skin problems.
In closing, I want to not only thank you for
a good quality machine, but also for
creating a detergent that can be used safely
by my technicians."

"The Renegade parts-washer has performed
excellent for us. It has provided us with a
safer working environment for our employees.
We have been looking for a portable
user-friendly parts washer, free of solvents
and no aerosol fumes, being biodegradable
and heated is a big plus."

"We have had the Renegade system in place
on a demonstration basis for a little over a
month now. After having this time under our
belt I have asked both of my mechanics there
opinion of this system. Both of them have
said they are satisfied with the results of
the Renegade wash system. The things they
like are: it is less irritating to the skin,
soap is always warm, unit is mobile so they
can move it to the area they are working in,
and it appears to clean most parts that we
work with at our location as well as
solvent. "

"We have been using your "Renegade,
Solvent free solutions", parts washer in my
'Automotive Repair" shops, since the day you
delivered it to US and we're very pleased
with it. It's amazing that it does just as
good a Job as the old type washers, without
the use of solvents.
The mechanics are very happy with it. No
more dry hurting hands due to the use of
solvents and the large basin like tub with
tools included on wheels makes it real handy
for a lot of things that they wouldn't
ordinarily be able to do.
I like the fact that it's much cleaner to
use, and less expensive. I would most
definitely recommend the use of your
"Renegade, parts washer", to anyone in the
automotive repair field."

"We have been using Renegade parts
washers in 20 of our automotive service
shops for almost 3 years now, and are very
pleased with the results. They work just as
good solvents, but much cleaner and less
expensive. Technicians love it because it
doesn't dry out their skin and they can wash
their hands in it,
I would encourage anyone considering this
system to give it a try. I'm sure you'll be
impressed."

"We must admit that when you originally
approached us with this piece of equipment,
we were skeptical. How is it possible that a
parts washer can get parts clean with only
soap and warm water? We've put it to the
test and the parts cleaner just keeps
cleaning. There are a few key points that we
find particularly attractive.
The soap used with the Renegade Part Cleaner
is biodegradable. With the other parts
cleaner we used, harsh solvents were needed.
This proves to be inefficient and dangerous.
Due to the fumes produced by such solvents,
it was necessary to locate the parts washer
in a very well ventilated area. Once in
place, it cannot be moved. Since the
Renegade Part Cleaner uses a mild soap there
are no fumes. In fact, it smells like
lemons. This allows the Renegade Parts
Cleaner to be very mobile. We can take the
parts washer to the part, not the part to
the parts washer. Also, the soap is non
flammable. As we're sure you are aware of,
there is a high potential for fire from the
use and storage of cleaning chemicals and
solvents. The fire marshal and the City of
Kent are pleased with both of these facts.
The soap has eliminated two potentially
dangerous situations; health hazard from
exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals and
solvents and fire hazard from storage of
such cleaning chemicals and solvents.
Another key feature we like about the
Renegade Part Cleaner, it is easy to use and
easy to maintain. We no longer need to have
a hazardous materials disposal come to our
shop to dispose of the waste. Because the
soap is biodegradable, we can use more cost
effective methods of disposal. We find the
spay nozzle on the Renegade Parts Cleaner to
also be quite useful. We sometimes find it
hard to believe that it cleans the parts as
fast as it does. This little bit of time
saved can make the difference in a piece of
equipment getting repaired in time for rent
or sale.
All of us here have cleaned everything from
bearings to cylinders. In our opinion, we
feel that the Renegade Parts Cleaner is the
safest and fastest way to clean parts. The
fire department and we think that the
Renegade Parts Cleaner is the way to go. We
intend to suggest the Renegade Parts Cleaner
to our Division Service Manager in hopes
that more stores can attain this system."

"Just a note to let you know how pleased
I am with the Renegade parts washer we
bought from you. The parts washer does
everything we have asked it to do and best
of all has gotten us totally away from
solvents.
I would strongly recommend this parts washer
to any shop looking to convert to a more
environmentally friendly and user friendly
parts cleaning system."

"As mechanics and service personnel we
face the use of hazardous chemicals
everyday. We thought that a solvent based
parts washer was just a fact of life. That
is until northwest distributors came along
with their superb solvent free parts washer.
This machine has consistently outperformed
our old machine. We are thrilled not to have
to be sticking our hands in solvent
anymore."

"Approximately 2 years ago we installed 5
Renegade aqueous based parts washers in our
engine rebuild center, due to the complaints
we were receiving from our technicians
(health hazards, hands, fumes, etc.)
Upon installing these units we have been
more than satisfied, our waste stream has
been drastically reduced, and our
technicians have been completely happy.
Based on our experience with the Renegade
parts washers I would recommend this product
to anyone who finds themselves in a
situation where they must use hazardous
chemicals to clean parts. I feel that, as
well as the Renegade works in our
environment (diesel soot and heavy grease
that is often found in the heavy equipment
industry) it should be a perfect solution to
almost any application."

"We have purchased the Renegade parts
washer recently. The product performance is
excellent and the cost savings on brake
cleaner, alone is enough to make the monthly
payment. We are very satisfied with the
flexibility and mobility of the machine."

“I’d like to take a moment to talk about
the Renegade parts washing system. We’ve
been looking over the years to find an
alternative to solvents. We were concerned
about the technician’s safety and health as
well as getting away from paying extremely
high environmental fees. We demoed the
Renegade system for approximately two weeks
and we are more than satisfied with the
cleaning ability of the unit. In my opinion,
this is the best alternative to a solvent
based cleaning solution we’ve seen to date.
My thumbs and forefingers used be dry
cracked and would bleed. Since we’ve gotten
the Renegade they’ve healed up. It works
real well, and it cleans real good. It’s a
good machine. I really like it.”

“I’m here to introduce the Renegade Parts
Washers. By far this is the best machine out
on the market. We’ve tried many of the
competitor’s machines. It cleans all sorts
of grease. Doesn’t matter if it’s in Idaho,
Oregon, Washington where ever, all the
grease is the same. It’s been a pleasure not
smelling the solvent smell anymore. Renegade
is the best.”

“We’re an aircraft maintenance facility.
I’ve been using the Renegade parts washer
for a little over two years and a number of
good things have occurred. One, our solvent
usage is almost zero, and two our hands are
not only clean but also soft and not all
dried out like with solvent. We work on a
fair number of aircraft here and we’ve been
very pleased with Renegade. It has served us
well and we’ve had no problems with it what
so ever.”

“I’m proud to talk about our Renegade
parts washers. Been really good to us so far
and we’ve had it over a year. As far as
being user friendly, it’s probably better
than any other washer out there. As far as
cleaning wise, it just does a great job. No
harmful fumes or anything like that to deal
with. It does work really good, even on
tough stuff that a lot of other units won’t
work on. It’s just been really good to us.”
Caroline Implement

“We are the largest Ford dealership in
the Madison area. I just want to take a
moment to share with you the success we’ve
had with the Renegade parts washing system.
Back in ’98 we considered going with this
system based on Federal regulations and
actually getting to the level of being a
large generator of hazardous waste. At that
time we made a decision to go with a
non-hazardous water based solution, and it’s
been a great success. We were very concerned
with our technicians that have been with the
facility for a long time, and how the parts
cleaning change was going to work. I’ve had
no complaints. I think the systems we have
in place work very well, and the service
that’s been provided is excellent as well.
It’s been a great success for us. We’ve had
no irritations to the skin with this
solution. It’s just been a great program for
us. Thanks a lot.”
Tim Douglas

“We’ve really solved a problem that we’ve
had with solvent tanks. With all the
poisons, and the EPA problems that you have
with solvent. The Renegade solvent free
system is just great. It’s a soap and water
system that just works great. I just can’t
tell you how much we like this over solvent.
It’s a winner.”
