Thanks for throwing me under the bus 
. Iāll take a look at it in the morning and see what I come up with. Iām really not much of a salesman, though.

If you donāt Boss up and use HF as your #1 on those propane trucks that get done once a month, your gonna be brushing every time and have the biggest arms in town. Or @ least start using HCS 400 as your #2. Or tell them to pound sand and move on to ppl that actually give a crap about there fleet maintenance. This is exactly why we never go over biweekly. But it can be done brushless and faster, but you just gotta take the training wheels off and go for it bubby. PM me and Iāll show you how to be safe about fuzzing windows. Itās easier than you think

Iāve already talked with Chad at Hydro-Chem. We may be using Fleet Prep for our first step. HF does make me nervous though. I need to find a local supplier here for HF, as I am sure it could be cheaper than having it shipped in.
Iāll hit you up tomorrow after I get done with one of my other customers.
You have to find HF local if you do it for sure. Donāt get it from Chad ,itās over $500 a drum. The cheapest I can get a hot HF is $294 a drum. Thatās $5 and change a gallon, but you super up your ratio to around 40:1 or so. That makes it last and keep you outta trouble. Now if itās an aluminum trailer with no polish, Iāll DS it straight. But you have to charge a lil more because SS is around 2 ish a gallon. Let me know how that fleet prep works plzā¦@GeorgeNicholson
Iām doing a truck tomorrow for a local mechanic, he wonāt work on them till there clean. Hear is a pic he sent me today ,said it hasnāt been washed in over 9 weeks,Iām gonna do it all in HF and Dyna clean, including the motor bay,the only brush Iāll use is a stack brush, send you a pic when done.

Hmm, I realize Iām offering my advice sort of āblindā, but this is how I might word something. Iāll put my personal commentary in [brackets]. Possible alternates will be italicized for your reference.
Hi So-and-so,
After cleaning your trucks these past two times [months?], Iāve determined [err, Iām searching for a different/better word here] it has become apparent to me that they really require a biweekly schedule to maintain them properly. Your fleet trucks accumulate more road film and debris in one month than can be cost-effectively removed without the use of hot water. And as weāve already discussed, we run the risk of damaging the aging graphics if we use heated water on your rigs.
Biweekly cleaning really is the industry standard minimum for maintaining a fleet like yours. The per-unit cost to wash biweekly will beā¦, [maybe you can afford a slight price break for the additional frequency?]
If you wish to continue having the trucks washed on a monthly basis, we will need to adjust the pricing to reflect the added labor and materials required to clean them effectively. The total for that will be ā¦/unit
Anyways, thatās what I can come up with half-caffeinated

Thatās about the smartest thing Iāve ever heard
If you can get in good with mechanics you should be able to get the fleet account, as long as you donāt mess up the quote
Hahaā¦Sorry Alex.
See what I mean? That was right up your alley. Half-caffeinated or not you definitely have a way with words.
Ironically, I hated English in school. I got straight Aās for the most part, but I still hated it. Too much of a perfectionist to finish anything on time 
Sorry,They dropped the trailer and put the truck in the shop before I could take an after pic. Anyways, no brushing except stacks, 9 weeks without wash ,frac sand hauler on dirt roads ,7 loads a day.
Looks good!
Thatās weird that they donāt have a belly dump on that trailer.
They do @DisplacedTexan . You know the save $9000 a year on insurance running them belly dumps ? Wow.
Man I bet. Those things make a load so much faster.
And way safer.
