Just a idea:

Good Morning to all,
This is just a idea that i thought I would throw out there. Have noticed alot of new members on PWN and being new to this site as well thought this might be of help.
Instead of going thru all the threads on here maybe having a List of soaps and chemicals and where to buy the products would be of help, see alot of people wondering what chemicals to use ect. Since there is alot of chemicals out there that work and dont work thought maybe the members on PWN could put a list of what really works and where to purchase these items. I have looked on the site but see most refer back to previous threads. Maybe there is already a link on here but I have not found it any way just a idea. Tom

The simple answer to what and where to buy is to click on the sponsors. That is why they pay to support this board so all of the newbies can come here for free.

Yes thats very true, And i did not mean to take away from the advertisers from this site, There is alot of products out there that do work and dont. Thought it might be helpful if somone new or just starting up could narrow there search on here for soaps and chemicals that other companies use daily and take care of a specific job. Did not mean any disrespect to sponsors on this site... Tom

Most of us have spent lots of money trying this chem and that chem ... some works extremly well , and some are junk. But we had to learn it and spend the money to learn it. Yes I know these bb's are to help the "newbies" and the "oldbies" . But it seems it gets easier and easier for anybody to have a pressure washing biz. I do believe that in order for anybody to be successfull is to learn as we have learned . And it is truely impossiable to tell anybody what works on a truck, house, hood....etc.... when there are so many variables What works for me and my application and dirt may not work for yours, this chem worked great but this one didnt do so well. On the other hand the one that I thought didnt do so well may be your PRIME soap . Dont cheat your-self or your biz. Dont just take the responces of members of any BB as the way to do it or the best chem. Learn it for your self.... and please take sometime out and sit at your desk and seach the BB .

Is there not anymore "trade-secrets " in this field anymore ? or do we just hand out info. to anybody that can throw a washer in the back of a truck ? Dont get me wrong I do believe in help but I also believe most of us hand out way to much info. And I also believe you get more satisifaction if you learn as most of us had ... "the school of hardness " !! The info. on how to clean almost anything and how to clean it is on this BB ..... but I guess thats not enough ... It takes too much time to sit and search and work for something ......... Lets just hand it to them ! better yet lets go to their job and show them ! :)

Maybe It's Because I Am Old, But I Don't Mind Helping Anyone. I Think If I Were Working With Nukes Or Homeland Security I Might Not Want To Give Away "trade Secrets" Anyone With Ambition Enough To Try To Make A Living Deserves A Hand. At Least They Are Not Sitting Around Collecting Welfare Or Unemployment. I Agree They Should Be Patient And Do Research So They Do It Right. If They Don't They Wont Be Around Long Anyhow.

This is where I fully believe in, support and provide mentoring for companies who want to learn. I'll only type so much before somebody needs to turn into a warm body that can prove enough "ambition" to get out from behind a keyboard and do it.

I hope this thread is not taken in the wrong content. When i first posted this it was more then anything a quick reference guide if you will. We all run into jobs where we need help or advice, I have no problem with helping anyone if they ask, And its not that there is not alot of very good information or(ideas) on here there is alot of trail and error experiances that i have read. For anyone who has taken the time and money to get a business going they know that spending extra money when you dont need to is not somthing you can afford starting out. There have been jobs where we were not sure what chemiacal would work best for that job, I would not want to spend alot of money trying this product or that product trying to do a good job for our customers, Yes i could take the time and read thru alot of threads but when your busy i dont have alot of time to kick back and read thru alot of threads trying to find one that may give me a awnsner. Thats why i posted the first thread as a idea for everyone not just new people or long time members on here But anyone who may need to match a certain chemical with the job your bidding on. I hope i have not offended anyone that is not what i intended. as i said Just a idea... Tom

The short answer to what you are looking for - (and no, the thread wasn't going that direction, at least not in my opinion) - is that certain arenas are placed at our disposal ... with boundaries. PWN is run by companies that provide products and equipment and also are sponsored by the same type entities. Although some may feel that it would be helpful to have a list from A-Z to shorten a search curve, it is not the policy of this bbs to do that. It is detrimental to their purpose for advertising. We as free users should simply respect that. I think that's the nicest way I can put it :)

On the flip side to that, many users provide their contact information in their signatures. Maybe it would take less time to just send an email and ask privately.

hotttblasters....... It was not just directed to you............ and for some sort of record I do believe in "helping-out" ......... Some folks just ask ask ask and in the past there has been some folks who pretend to be somebody and we give out info to folks who say they are from another state ...... when only to match their IP address they have been here before .......... ! I am a strong believer in some trade secrets .... It's perfectly fine if others dont feel the same and want to induldge in the HOWs and WHAT to use !

sometimes you got to make the time to search the bb ......some folks dont have the time I realize that but I wonder how come they have time to re-post ? The time they spent "re-posting" they could of did a 5 min search !!

The sponsors of this BB also have a phone number and e-mail address .... you could call them and get some professional advice. and they can direct you to every chem that they sell .... But here again what one chem works on a certain job may not be the right chem for you .

If they have to search for the answer, they may find something along the way that they may learn while searching and reading for something else they were looking for.
