I’m waiting till I get my check from cleaning all that could ncrete at old minion. But I’m really thinking of getting an enclosed trailer instead for christmas

Forgot to ask miguel what the unloader needs to be set at. It would be nice if I can keep it at 2000 and switch back and forth from the gun to the remote

If its like his gun you don’t have to adjust the unloader.

That be nice ! Put a heater in it and call it a day , no more winterizing…

Got some trucks cleaned today

These trucks absolutely sucked tonight! I was washing them before the mexican beer showed up. They paused service back in March last year. I tried to get them to get washed again around June and again in July/August/September. Never received word from them. Ran into a driver while I was out cleaning some other trucks and asked him what was up. They did some restructuring or got bought out or something like that. Finally in January I got an email asking if we were still in business and wanted to start washing their trucks biweekly. All of February was a wash as we were not able to go out and clean 1 day the whole month. But we are back at it and enjoying our 8-10 days a month working. I’ll leave the 20 days working a month for those hard chargers out there. I’m happy with my work load and have fired more clients than I’ve been let go

Those gas trucks look like a chemical sucking nightmare George.

That was after a year of not washing them. Now we are washing them every other week.

I would have charged them $175 a piece just for spite because they waited a whole year.

Wish I could have and kept the job. Now that it’s every other week it’ll be good to go. And now I have another propane company asking me to clean their trucks. It’s only 5 pieces, 2 bulk tankers a beverage truck and 2 utility trucks. I’m going to tell them it has to be biweekly otherwise it won’t be worth my time. Only problem with this one is the location, a lot of shootings happen within a 3 block radius of the wash site. It’ll have to be during the day and during the week and I’ll charge them more just for my own safety. I don’t care if I get this one but it’ll be worth my time if I do.

Thinking of going back to dyna clean because its a stronger soap over grizzly, What say you George.

Honestly, I didn’t know it was a stronger soap. If that’s the case I’ll be doing the same once I am out of Grizzly. So I am curious, why did everyone switch to grizzly over Dynaclean? Was it because of the added shine it brought to the trucks? If that’s the case i really don’t care about that as all/most of the trucks I clean are all larger fleets and not owner/operators.

Still liking the fleet prep, but may switch to Dave Roberts NW Chemical acid. The picture of the tank above was using his acid just 2 stepping, no pump up brightening after cleaning. I’ll be out this weekend to clean my Dohrn fleet so we’ll see if it brightens them up the same way. I am pretty close to needing some more acid so this weekend and next weekend will be my make it or break it with his acid.

Trapen takes 10 gallons of quick silver and makes a 55 gallon drum then lays it down for his #1 at 20:1. So 55 gallons of quick silver should yield 300 gallons ish. Chad bet me a steak dinner that quick silver is stronger than mine, I’m gonna order a 5 gallon sample pail.
