I don't wash vehicles commercially, but I've been washing and painstakingly waxing my own vehicles for 20 years, and I've never seen anything that cleans without some kind of mechanical agitation. You've got to do something to get the dirt off, preferably a soft wash mitt and good soap to avoid...

Good advice from Pat. You need flow for your machine, not pressure, and you need a comprehensive marketing plan. In fact, you need the marketing plan and budget more than you need anything else.

This is a good deal for guys who don't know what they're doing. You should put this deal up on pressuretek, grime scene and other forums. I have seen a number of people who could use your services.

It's 2012. You need a website. You need to spread out and diversify. You need some print advertising, some word of mouth, some referrals, some direct marketing, some internet marketing, some signs, some fliers, etc. You need a little of everything to get moving. No one thing is going to do it...

Just saw your video with this one. Aluminum lances are pretty awesome, up to a certain length, where they bend like heck. I've used them a few times on big projects to reach heights. Way better than extension poles, but can be cumbersome too. Last time I went looking, I realized the two I...

Hahahaha......nice.

Hey Doug, is that one of the front 9 products you bought? Love to hear what it is, and how well it works.

Excellent. Big jobs are just plain fun compared to residential.

You're going to have loads of fun! Good luck with the new venture.

Yeah, that was pretty rough looking. Nice work Doug.

That's downright evil. I can't publicly say what I would do to anyone caught sabotaging my business in such a manner, but I would certainly take things into my own hands. That's not a game at all.

Pics would help immensely. There are too many variables to guess at something like that. Have you bid this job yet?

Nice job pressure washing that one!

Is there somewhere to get info on the different HOA's? I've thought about offering my service to some of the communities around here. I'd like to target some for fence staining, because here in Jax, the barriers to noisy roads on many of these communities is wood privacy fences, and they...

I used to sell cars in a past life. I would recommend going in on a Sunday night or some other off time when they are not busy and talking directly to the General Manager. Call ahead and get his name, and make sure he's there. The management are usually very outgoing and approachable people...

Thanks Doug. Signature should be setup, I don't see it on my previous post though, hopefully it shows here.

My name is Adam Austin, and I'm a former painting contractor. One or two of you may know me as "AAPaint" from ContractorTalk forums. I spent years on there, and met a few guys from these different PW boards. I had to give up my painting business a few years back due to health issues. All the...
