I like a lot of what you mentioned, plus the MacNeil Top Hat air dam for the dryers. I liked it better than the guillotine style air dam.
I also thought the Motor City Wash Works High Pressure Sensor arch has tremendous potential.
The Sonny's Pendulum with leading bumper blaster is a must.
Jim Coleman/Hanna has introduced a complete line with fractional electric motors that are interesting.

Because of the extensive emphasis on Exterior Express, the motto for the show should have echo'd Benny Alford's view on the Exterior Express... "Cheaper, Better, Faster", although I sort of like "Better, Faster, Cheaper", myself.

Etowah Valley equipment introduced BY FAR the best value in credit card processing for the SS industry. They have a credit/debit/gift card processor/timer that replaced a led7footprint timer in your meter box. It was compeltely scalable and you could use in one bay or all. Need it at just one bay- 799 and you're CC ready. It was completely self contained- no server was needed. It authorized instantly. It had wireless capabilities so you could make your vacuums CC ready without the fear of running data cable to them. Show special- only $799 per bay. This is what I've been waiting for!

MEI had an interesting bill validator that processed credit cards. It used a built in cellular phone to process transcations ($10 per month fee per unit)
