Hey bro, you're doing an amazing work, keep it up and keep sharing the videos, I always learn new things from them, thank you

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Thanks man!

[@dirtynewschannel]

Nice work! I’m trying to do more washes with my 12 volt systems and have the pressure washer just for surface cleaning and as a backup.

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

That's basically my setup now. Would like to try downstreaming in the near future

[@aaronbailey3640]

Thanks for sharing the feed. I would like for you to tell us your mix percentage at the beginning

[@freedompowerwashingllc6199]

Great video, im truly a 12 volt guy and keep an eye out were about to bring the 12v to a whole new light...keep grinding!

Thanks Mike!

[@Bennn__nnn]

Man you're not scared spraying around all that electrical ? Shits terrifying to me lol. I've blown lights out that I've taped up !! 🤣

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

It is what it is. By code they should be water tight. No different then if the siding was taking a beating during a rain storm. So if it did pop, which I've done in the past, I just apologize and inform them of the issue.

[@midlifemike4916]

Great video man. If the wind blows so does 12v😁 ds 4 life

Hey would installing a 3/4 Automator on the soap and bleach for a proportioner work similar to the downstream automator?

Hey boss, I currently run a 4gpm 12v but damn seeing that 6gpm I’m going to upgrade today. Lol

I was wondering where you were at man, huge job there glad to see your still @ it. Our mornings are starting to get crisp, pretty soon the plow will be on.

What's up Robbie! Im still kicking. Too busy to record as much. Yes wont be long before plow season. Hopefully not too soon though. I love the fall. I'd like a nice long one!

[@HandyHoneyBunnyLLC]

In 2024 what pump would you recommend to do that time of job? can you please share a link? thanks for share the videos.

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

i still like flojet pumps

[@HandyHoneyBunnyLLC]

How many PSI? Or could you share a link to a specific one? There are a few options, and I need one with good power and good flow for a two-story building. Thanks!

[@jasonchampion9932]

✌️ at exactly 6:00 min in on this video I think I saw a dryer vent with lent hanging out a little. On jobs like those units with all those dryers, have you ever considered offering dryer lent hose cleaning. There are channels about lent hose cleaning. It is really a thing ! It might be worth being an up-sell🤷‍♂️👍✌️

I have seen those guys! Pretty neat. I've considered it in the past!

how are the windows cleaned after. beach always makes a mess of the windows.

cant downstream a roof as far as i know or do anything that requires a hot mix the 12v has its place even with a downstream setup

[@simplycleanpressurewashing758]

@@dcsc4895 yes, I have a 12v setup too. Good for roofs and driveways if need be. I wouldn’t use it for house washing though, downstream the way to go there.

[@dcsc4895]

@@simplycleanpressurewashing758 agreed

[@jbl8541]

No surfactant in house wash? Less streaks on windows? Nice job👍

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Hey Brad. Yeah I just prefer no soap for the siding wash. Makes rinsing the siding more difficult and the windows like you said. Soap on siding is good if the siding has a lot of bug/webs/organic debris on it. The soap will grab it but 99.9% of the time sh and water is all you need. Reduces the business expense of each job too. Just personal preference!

[@joshuarewerts8566]

Wait until you use a big gas roof pump setup...mind blowing. 62 ft at 12gpm. 12v stream looks like you're peeing on it, AR45 will look like Niagra falls is hitting it

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Hey Josh! Very cool! Probably wont play with one of those for awhile tho!

[@wellsmd1]

I’m new to pressure washing but why not just downstream the buildings ??? Is it because the amount of mold???

How come you don’t rinse with your pressure washer and a ball valve??

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Hey Abel. Thanks for watching. I just prefer 12v or the property's water source. I do 80 washes a month. Running fuel and other PW maintenance adds up big over a season. Using the ball valve might save a little time but I'd rather pay myself a 2-3k extra then spend it on fuel

All 12v. Used 12v to apply SH and used properties water hook up to rinse.

[@artbentley4887]

Hi. So I have a 3 story apartment. Will a 5.5 gpm with 5/8th hose get me up there

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

I can't guarantee it but the chances are good. Lots of factors. What's the pump brand, psi, tips etc. You could always make a 10ft wand from pvc and only use it for the high areas.

[@artbentley4887]

It’s an Ever flo.. I have the same gun and tips as yours.I have 5/8 hose as well. A longer lance is a great idea. Thanks for the help and keep up the good work. We all appreciate you.

Bro how busy dose direct mail keep you? Let’s say you mail out 5,000 cards I mean, how many jobs or how busy can you get out of that 5,000 what is the amount of locked in jobs? That’s if you don’t mind me asking thanks great videos!

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Hard to say what your return will be. To be safe I always aim for 1% return. 1% of 5k mailers would be 50 call backs. If you close well you could make $10-15k. If you get more than 1% then game on. Be sure to send to dense suburbs where they hit alot of houses.

[@artbentley4887]

What size hose do you use on the pump and proportioner?

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

This video is 1/2 inch. I'm now using 3/4 in my newer vids. More flow

How do you get that distance? What size hose and length? Also what tips do you use?

Does any one clean any thing but vinyl on these channels ??

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

I live in the north east which is 99.999% vinyl. We have very little stucco, I think I've washed one or 2 in 5 years, and very few brick homes. I'm currently working commerical project of 77 massive buildings - all vinyl. That's where the money is for me. I occasionally wash concrete, but in the north east concrete is usually only found around pools - we don't have concrete driveways like the south - all asphalt here.

What’s good

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Howdy

[@michaelvignale7265]

Piece of tape over them air handler breakers goes a long way..

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

My estimates have a fine print info area that all customers must read before accepting. It states that all outside electronics (cameras, lights, door bells, outlets etc) that are bleach or water sensitive must be covered by the owner or property managers. If wash day comes and they aren't covered then I assume its not a big deal and wash on. They have weeks to prep before my wash day. If it's not done why would I waste my time? A lot of guys waste time and money caring about things that the owners don't care about.

[@coachnate5747]

On vinyl this bad , could you go to 2% ??

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Sure why not. You can do 6%. 1-2 is the sweet spot though

[@21brodster]

Hey curious if you use surfactant on siding. Or only roofs?

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Only roofs. Just personal preference since 12v rinsing soap on siding takes longer. If you're downstreaming then soap is fine on siding

Awesome good to know what % did you use on this one?

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Hey Will! I prefer not to downstream

[@softwashscience]

You Over applied, didn’t prewet glass or grass, treated way to large of a section, allowed areas to dry and oxidize and then WAY under rinsed. I bet that vinyl all looks like a chalk board, come on man you know better!

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Lol if you say so expert. Used less than 1% mix of SH and no soap. Rinse was fine and who prewets grass on a siding wash? Was invited back 3 weeks later for Carports and the place looked great. Was asked to wash it annually and was referred to 2 other complexes. You know what they say about opinions though.. thanks for the view!

[@softwashscience]

@@YoungAmbitionYA if its dry and hot I will dash water on the grass. If your dial is on 80 your at the very minimum using a 2% SH if your SH strength is 11% in your bulk tank. Now I’m going to bet you had some new SH at 12.5% and that means it settles at 12.5 but if new is more like 14 or 15%. So dial at 80 your probably putting down a 3%. When the organic lights up like it did and changes that fast on vinyl its too strong. I have no doubt you got asked back and they were happy because over apply under rinse is very efficient so you were probably super cheap and it looks good from a far but far from good. I guess some contractors are the people that are like well it’s good enough and they match well with customers that are the same way so glad it worked out for you.
