Of course still grinding! This isn’t an option for me to not have a successful business, even if it means humbling yourself in the off season and getting a job for a few months to have funds for next year. Just finished my second season, made ~15k so minimum wage but I had a 2,000+ day and built up 23 good google reviews so I plan on having some ads made for me and do some research for the best results. The battle of a successful business is 20% business and 80% discipline I’ve learned. But if you never quit, treat ever customer as if it was your first and only, adapt and constantly learn. Your chance of failure is slim to nun!

Looks great! Instead of disconnecting your downstream injector for flow everytime you need to rinse with the ball valve or surface clean, consider a downstream injector bypass kit, google will find many options for purchase, it has a valve you turn on/off to obtain full flow, it simply bypasses the smaller soap line, thanks for the outstanding content!

Feel your pain. We had to go 8 hours to get our van wrap done (yes we shopped around near us). We were quoted $2,500 to get the bed lined in our van 😂 so we coordinated to have it sprayed with a company near the wrap company that was 8 hours away. Should have seen their face when we walked in…. It was the, “oh S*** they were serious”. Anyways, they had booked out their days and couldn’t get us in. Lucky enough, a shop down the street got us in the very next day and we were on the way home. Still saved $1,500. Moral of the story, having a back up plan definitely helps and understanding being flexible.

Hey Austin good morning buddy my name is Gustavo and I am from San Antonio. I wanna get into the exterior cleaning business and your videos has definitely motivate me more than ever. I haven’t bought any equipment yet but I have started The business online and have a business account with my marketing money and expenses ready. I am communicating with Polk Washers and trying to get a skid built in the near future. I do have a full-time job right now and will be planning to do this on the weekends for now. But I will admit I have very limited experience with pressure washing other than just washing your cars at the car wash. I’ve seen your videos before that you welcome any kind of help to learn from you either by being as your helper or picking your brain by asking you every question About pressure washing and soft washing I would definitely love to come out and see you in action while my Equipment is being built. And actually feel the work that it’s being involved. I am off Sundays and Mondays. Feel free to contact me anytime you need an extra hand. And you don’t have to pay me just me being out there learning much as I can from you is good enough

Hey Austin! I've been Binge watching all your videos! 😁 I'm a newbie and loving the business of pressure washing, however I do have a question. I notice every pressure washer carrying their own water tank. Is that just as back up in case waterflow is bad at the customer's? Can you clarify? Sorry might be a basic question but would love some clarity.
@AustinDavis24 Жыл бұрын
Yes. It’s called a buffer tank. Some water Spicket’s cannot keep up with the flow of the machine of the operator. Which is why there is always a Storage of water in our tank for our machine to feed from. Plus we always hook up to the customers water to feed that tank.
