Really appreciate you Brother. I got a simpson 4gpm to start with a 20" surface cleaner. It's in my jeep patriot and I'm barely getting leads. I got my business insurance and license, just wish it moved a bit faster. My son and I who is the co-owner, are going out on sunday and going to go around and put the boots down and pass out cards and door hangers. Really would love to have a system like this, I know we will get there one day. We operate in southern california. Three of the nicest counties out here. Thanks again for being direct and honest.

Love the added clip. I started my business with a pressure washer and my Scion tC hatchback. Was it ideal no, but got the job done. Just bought a truck, literally just put a ladder rack on it, plumped up my soft wash system, and just ordered some reels. Reels will be the biggest game changer. Like the video about to build a “flatbed” in the back of my truck to bolt everything down to. Nice video and will definitely add a shower head to the truck

I’m halfway through the video and I think it’s an incredible expose on how to set up a tight ass rig that can do some incredible water pressure cleaning. I would like to suggest maybe slowing down and a lot of the technical terms that you are rolling out one example I have is when you were talking about the hose and the switch valve that goes over to the pressure washer you briefly glanced over and say there it is but you don’t point out which line you’re talking about and there’s a few of hoses running out and in, and it would be good to know where the flow is coming from and going to. This is an incredible video thank you so much for posting this and I hope the best for you and keeping your business going.

Neat watching the capabilities of a pressure washer and more. I invested to learn to work on bad pump GCV and more-so wanting GCH160's engines... from $20 to $40 ea. all with great, other than fine tuning, running Honda engines. Another major factor was to pressure test air compressor tanks among other tasks/projects. Is neat to read how to return the investment on even the cheap pressure washers since I've now got one I use for under $120... ~$70 new pump for the GCV and ~$40 for the pressure washer. Have everything for one of the GCH also in stainless and anti-marking hose... though haven't bothered operating completely since not needed yet and focused more on making one of my air compressors a GCH powered design. Great details and motivation. Will have to read more into the soft washing methods since not familiar with. Guessing can like you ended with, focus on sales and reliable sources to rent or lease the better equipment so you have for the jobs when you need. Then invest in as you can or willing to afford. Oh, on a another note... not as much thought out to perform... though one of the projects using a John Deere 240 subframe idler assemble front implement... is for pressure washing (among hydraulic, pneumatic and generating power for welding or cutting or site). Basically, can have all the implements for the job and consumables on the garden tractor and bring to where I need. Plan is to be able to drive on and off my truck bed. Thanks for sharing! Kind Regards, In Christ!

Can I make a recommendation? Have you heard of the x-jet nozzle? Its a tip you put on the end of your wand and it has an attachment for a hose so you can pull straight out of a bucket instead of down streaming. I haven't down streamed in years ever since I got my x-jet. Look in to it it might be the game changer you didn't know you needed!
