100% agree with that statement. Iām sore as hell this morning.
But Iāll pay twice as much in soap if I didnāt have to brush and cut my bottom line by doing so. And be 100% happy with it as a 1 man show. When I get a crew, yeaā¦they can brush.haha
I did, thatās what pisses me off last night. Doubled my cost for the same results
You might wanna up you acid ,and just run it straight @ 15:1 and do a test. Something isnāt making sense. Are you 100% sure your ratio test was pretty accurate?
Like it or not ,heās probably right. But I cheat on new jobs when I can and use another acid as my #1. But with risk ,comes rewards. No brushing. Iād like to get @pressureguy opinion on what he thinks of his 2 step gun on this exact situation. Meaning a brand new contract, and breaking a thick film
I am 100% getting a 2 step gun. Itās just a matter of time before that happens.
Pros and cons on that to. Itās friggin heavy as hell,stuck to 1 length of hose and itās a pain to work on.your psi is dropped way down, But itās efficient as heck and quick. I dunno yet.A good conversation on that topic with @pressureguy is definitely needed @GeorgeNicholson
That was me last week. Had to wash a dozer and they pulled the belly pan off to do some work and needed that area clean. So there I am, squatted down like a female on a road trip, dust and grease and grime going all over me and Iām asking myself why I even do this? Washing houses is so much easier. And then I remembered that when I was super slow and just starting out he was one of my first customers and he fills a lot of my downtime. Of course, I donāt charge near what you guys do because I donāt have hot water.

This old fella is my regular , he always has us wash something weird, stinky ,over the topā¦ Tractors, personal trucks,atv,utv,boat,combine, his wife,dog, etc. And itās always after weāre done doing what we came there to do ,wash trucks. one time he gave me a Benjamin to blow his leaves from his front yard with the PW ,out to the road. Took 15 minutes. I swear he just likes to watch the pw move water. So Iām the same as you @DisplacedTexan . I gotta keep my regulars as happy as I can.

Finished my Vans last night. Had to brush every single one. It sucked but it wasnāt horrible. We shall see how it goes in 2 weeks.
Iām assuming youāve talked to Chad ? They have other soaps for white fleets. Sorry about all the brushing. @GeorgeNicholson.
Honestly, it wasnāt that bad. Obviously, I never wanna brush but you do what you have to do. Going to call Chad today to see what he would suggest. Or maybe wait till after i clean them again in 2 weeks to see how it goes since the film has been broke and I donāt see it getting that thick in 2 weeks.
Pressure Tek has a 24" soft wash brooms. Its Yellow. I got one ,and love it. I think the have 18" as well,I love them more. Get them telescopic Wooster poles at Home depot by the paint department, youāll love them.@GeorgeNicholson
Got me a telescopic pole from Lowes. Itās not a Wooster (if that is the brand you bought) but it is light and comfortable. Our other pole is from the brush we bought, I believe both brushes are 12" though. Definitely need to get me a 18" or 24" on my telescopic. I really think I am going to use the 400 degreaser on these white vehicles where I donāt have to worry about any aluminum.
Watch out on using that 400. Too hot and it will strip paint.
