Hey Glenn Still doing a lot of cars but starting to get calls for house washes also. It has been a tough winter battling those cold days with the wand. (and you know we are not used to that around here!!) John Wash Wagon ------------------ John May

You are lucky to live in an area where there is enough money in the school system to pay for this type of service. I washed handicapped school buses (short buses) in my area a few years ago and lost the account to(you won't believe this)-PRISON INMATES!!!! At least that is what I read in the...

GLENN -- one more thing... I realized that maybe I have been working to much when I got to Tryon's Palace and the first thing I said was ,"Man, they need to call someone to pressure wash this place." I will leave that job for you to check on since I have my hands full and I think you are a...

Hey Glenn. I am a NC boy, dont post a lot but read frequently. I have worked for 53 days straight as of yesterday.(of course I have mainly been doing cars and fleets-but I have been wide open). This great weather we have had down here has been AWESOME. I finally took off today. We were getting...

We eat whatever is convenient to where we are washing. Sometimes its a burger, sometimes its "vending food". I had those new KFC Twisters about 4 times last week because they are good and for $1.99 you get a drink with it also in my area. We throw sandwiches in the cooler if in a remote area...

I am a diabetic.....That means that I LOVE anything that is sweet(only because I am not supposed to have it). On the up-side, car washing and power washing burns off lots of sugar and calories so I either keep some Little Debbies snack cakes or some kind of delicious dessert that wifey has made...

Well, in dreamland I have enough money that a job would just interfere with fishing time. ------------------ John May

Hey Glenn, NC checking in. The NC boys probably have had a little too much time off lately with all of this rain. It has been the wettest summer around here that I can remember. ------------------ John May

The only way to rid of the film is to brush. If you are brushing already and still have the film you may want to change to a different soap. Cold water washing will be fine just dont forget the elbow grease. ------------------ John May

Keeping your family as part of your goals will help you strive for more. They really need you and they are lucky to have someone who wants to start his own business to help them out. Stick with it through thick and thin and your business will be rewarding to you and your family. Good Luck ...

Mike, GREAT idea. One problem though... Disco Lighting. The ropes and pulleys and the table might hit one of the mirror balls or interfere with some of the lights effects. Dang, I am dreaming.(but before I wake up I might as well go over to the bar or talk to one of the dancers!!!)...

I have an enclosed trailer which sleeps outside and a shop to store the extra equipment in. In the winter, I pull the trailer in the shop and put an electric heater inside of it. I have to say, I love the shop. When the wifes temper flares up, it is a nice place to go. I have a killer sound...

Man. I did not know that Ford or Chevy even made pressure washers. They are both great but I guess that I like Chevy the best since the last 3 trucks I owned were Chevys. I do like Ford better in the Nascar Circuit though... ------------------ John May

Just remember to use whatever YOU like the best. The chems and equipment that you use along with your own special touch on each job sets you apart from everyone else in the industry. You can get ideas from eveyone else, but to be better than everyone, fine tune those "ideas" to what works for...

Dont forget the business part: Extra change of clothes, extra pens and pads never hurt. ------------------ John May

What would you guys use on sand faced brick to remove really bad mold and mildew stains without damage. I know pressure needs to be kept very low. ------------------ John May

I would shut the lane I was working on down if I were you. You would have less liability to worry about. ------------------ John May

Downstream usually works on most jobs. Usually have to use a pump on flatwork though. ------------------ John May

I bet you guys looked funny wearing clothes. Stainless steel should last longer but not forever. The best way to get any of them to last longer is to clean and lubricate them regularly.(every week or 2). I had one before that I could never get apart. I put it in a vice and hammered it. The...

From now on, just let the customer know that window washing and power washing are 2 different jobs. You should be able to handle this yourself though. I guess that if I were to pay someone to wash my house that I would like the windows clean also. It shouldn't take but a few extra minutes. All...
