We are just going to be cleaning dirt and mold. I don't know what kind of chemical that we are going to use, never have cleaned brick before. I would assume that the hot water and a good degreaser would get it clean. I haven't thought about that hose thing, that is a pretty good point. It will...

I have to put a bid in on brick wall and was needing some help on how to come up with the price. The wall is 20 feet tall and 195 feet long. 17 feet of the height of the wall is brick and the other 3 feet is concrete. It is also 100 feet in the air but the lift will be provided. It is for a...

I can say that I have never lost an account and a few accounts even said that I was the best pressure washer they have ever seen. Maybe they are just sucking up. The way I see it is if I wash a white truck and go back and rub my finger on a spot and it squeaks and doesn't leave a mark then it is...

I agree with dan. We prespray and rinse almost everything. It is just as clean as a two step job, because I use to have a two step machine. We will brush all stainless and chrome because sometimes there is a film left if you don't. We have washed a lot of trucks with two step and the way we do...

No I haven't looked into washing brick. My masonry company always scrubbed with acid and a garden hose. When I got into pressure washing I started out on fleets. I never have really done anything else, besides a house here and there and a little concrete. This year I want it to be different. My...

Thanks for the replies. You can't wash trucks with cold water. When I started washing I had a cold water two step. I was running a brown high alkaline soap and acid. I only had a month to learn from the guy that sold me the business but man I fought it everyday and wondered what the hell I was...

I always thought the way I learned was good and made me a lot of money but I can see that I am wrong. I have one guy prespraying and one guy brushing wheels and the truck if need be. On some of my accounts one guy just moves trucks so the washer never has to cut off. He pays for himself three...

Thanks for the reply. We use the shur-flo pumps for pre-spray on the trucks. But the upstream and downstream thing, I don't know anything about that either. I used to two step and ran the chemical through my pump and always had problems with it. It was a cat and those are supposed to be pretty...

Hi guys. I have been a fleet washer for 2 and a half years and have been really successful with it. I was a brick mason for many years and I loved the opportunity to try something else. The thing is that my little ones are getting older and I don't want to miss out on those weekend things. So I...
