Getting dumpster exteriors & grease carts added to several accounts at restaurants. Here's one I did this morning...

How many times have you heard this? I have been to locations that say they don't have pressure washing in their budget, and they do it themselves, whether it be buying a little pressure washer, or scrubbing the concrete. I see how it is after they are done, and it still looks bad. I always...

Looking to see what is more cost effective. I currently use caustic, and mostly do flatwork at restaurants. I pay $55 locally for a 50lb bag. I usually mix about 1 cup per gallon. Looking into Powerstroke. Any of you that use it, let me know how it works for you on grease. What amounts do...

Hey all, my brother is in the process of starting a vinyl graphics business. He already has the equipment (not the cheap stuff). He will practically beat anyones price (within reason). It's really cheap to add on some lettering to your truck (any size). Only catch is you have to install it...

Anyone that does interior floors along with your flatwork? I've been asked a few times if I offer this service. Besides the surface cleaner with the vacuum system, what else is needed? Any recomendations of surface cleaners/vac systems? Are the costs high to dispose of the dirty water...

Let's see some more before & after pressure washing pics....flatwork, hoods, odd jobs, etc. Here's part of a drive thru I do every two weeks in Tucson...

I have a downstream injector going into a 5 gal bucket, and the hose end/filter kept floating and sucking air. Wanted to share what I used, works pretty good for it. I took an extra lugnut from my truck and slipped it over the rubber hose. Fits perfect!

Anyone know what this is? I was under my truck today doing some work. Saw this part bolted to the frame near the spare tire...

We used to do concrete coatings here in AZ. Not doing them anymore. If anyone local (within driving distance of Tucson) is interested, I still have $1500 worth of product credit, and many products at home for sale. Someone will get a GREAT deal on all this. The product is from...

Here's our new tshirts... Also got in some polos and hats.

Hey all you pros from the "hood". I have a customer that wants me to pw his hood filters every once in a while. He lays them out for me on the dumpster pad. Question is... Can I use caustic on them? Not sure if they are aluminum or galvanized steel. I thought you shouldn't use caustic on...

In a previous post I mentioned that I replaced my Honda engine (bent rod) with a 13hp from Harbor Freight. Guys at the local dealer got the regulator and everything switched to the new engine. It has been running great, but the last couple nights, it backfires at shutoff (whether I keep the...

I picked up this boot/glove dryer from Harbor Freight last week. Don't remember if it was on clearance, or on sale, but it was only $7.97!! Works great for an $8 product...

I bought a new 13hp engine from Harbor Freight and had it installed on my pw. My mechanic said the new engine did not come with a "rectifier?" to charge the battery for the burner and the elec starter. He said he can probably pull it out of the old Honda engine, but it is in the middle of the...

I removed the old engine off my skid. Getting ready to install the new one. How do I remove the rest of the pulley assembly??? I removed the pulley, but cannot get the inner part off the shaft. Tried tapping the part itself, the key (metal rectangular pin), etc.

Well, I have had a hard time starting my pw on the last couple jobs. Elec. starter didn't work, and had to pull start. Finally went out. Had it in the shop and found a bent rod. Now I have to take it to a small engine mechanic. My question...It's a 13hp Honda. IF the bent rod was the only...

Usually only do flatwork. Here's my first house wash in Tucson... :joyful:

We received our new shirts today from VistaPrint. They turned out pretty good...

Here's a slideshow I put together for our pressure washing in Tucson. Most of it is restaurant cleaning. Let me know what you think...:wave3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUaq90vlDyg

Here's a recent video of a pressure washing restaurant account on their drive thru. Lots of grease, tire marks, etc. Some of the video and pics aren't the clearest since it was at night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC4lDqBYsag
