Man a month booked out, I can't even get 1 call or message lol. Keep up the amazing work brother!

[@steppspressurewashing]

Yard signs changed the game for me. I know several people who swear by Facebook ads as well, but I didn't get a lot of traction how I was doing it.

[@BRExteriorPro]

​@@steppspressurewashingwhere do you put them? Got a few calls but still very slow

Love my M5

[@GorillaSoftwash]

Just stumbled across your channel. Pro tip for your gun setup, add a 6 or 8in extension screwed into the gun then add your tips off if that. Yes to the 3 or 4 banger for the m5 and shooter tip. Thats all youll ever need for downstreaming.

[@steppspressurewashing]

Thanks for the tip, what would be the benifits for the additional extension?

[@GorillaSoftwash]

As the water passes through the components of the gun its slows down the water molecules and creates atomization so the theory is if it exits the gun and hits the extention 1st then it allows the water to come back together better the catch pressure through the shooter tip. It does give you better production.

[@steppspressurewashing]

Nice, I will have to try that

[@Daniel-yl4xj]

@@GorillaSoftwash do you have any pictures of it?

[@HouseWashingRick]

Sometimes the sun alone will will melt that siding like that. The sun melted the siding on my house and my neighbors here in Tennessee and it’s on the front of the house

[@steppspressurewashing]

I have seen where the sun has melted vinyl siding as well. Mostly I have only seen it when a neighbors windows are reflecting the light onto the siding though.

[@christopherdodson323]

Glad i could help.

[@steppspressurewashing]

Thanks again for the recommendation!! The M5 is a game changer!!

[@christopherdodson323]

@steppspressurewashing we need to get up sometime since you're only an hour from me.

[@steppspressurewashing]

I know right! Maybe once we slow down some. Haha! 😂

[@HolyFlipz]

Love the content! Will this pull chems at the wide fan and the direct spray?

[@steppspressurewashing]

Yep the m5ds pulls chem all day with all pattern variations

[@briansommerville5477]

couple questions.,how much can you close the fan spray before it stops drawing chem and what unloader are you using because the trigger pull recoil on that gun looks sweet!! thanks, great content and subscribed

[@steppspressurewashing]

I can close the fan all the way and still pull soap. Built in unloader from when I bought the pump. It's lasted 3 years, so no complaints from me. Thanks for the sub!

[@jflekjfe0902]

It should pull soap no matter which way you have it open if you're running a dedicated softwash system with a proportioner deciding how much soap is being sent to the nozzle. It should only vary if you're using a downstream injector, no?

[@TROUBLE8088]

Wish I could be 1 day out, pulled 1 45k sq foot retirement home , 6k sq foot new brick cleaning and that's it!

[@steppspressurewashing]

Wow!! Those are some big projects!! How much commercial do you do?

[@TROUBLE8088]

@@steppspressurewashing I'm a union Carpenter Forman full time , pressure wash on Fri sat & sun so I get my commercial jobs from my union company because we do all exterior types of siding and I work around the brickies so pull work that way too, I do 1 commercial job a week , average for 12/15 hours is $3200

[@TROUBLE8088]

@steppspressurewashing but I'd like to pull some quick 45 minutes to a hour house washes @ $250 or better so I'm not at the same place all weekend plus some places don't pay as soon as a job is done , I have to wait a week or 2 and I have alot of $$$ tied up into the chemicals. But I only get 2 jobs per month averaged $6,000 a month . Just don't care for the commercial side of pressure washing that much

[@steppspressurewashing]

@@TROUBLE8088 Wow, that's a pretty good average. I'm not making $250 in 45 minutes down here in NC. I think my average is about $200 per house, and average about 1.5 -2 hours per job. If you're averaging $3200 for 15 hours of work I would try to expand on that side of your business. Not all customers pay right away either. My understanding is the higher your gpm the faster you can wash. But you still have setup and dwell time.

[@doomslayerforever2858]

@@steppspressurewashing lower cost of living there here in south jersey my min to even get out of bed is $250 and most jobs are 300-400 and then upsells on concrete ect. trying to get all the guys to keep prices higher. theyh charge 30 for 5gal of bleach now

[@577buttfan]

I would use that m5 with a little less fan than wide open.

[@steppspressurewashing]

Yep, I have found it is best to tighten the fan. Then stand back more to get a larger portion ofthe siding on each pass

[@577buttfan]

@@steppspressurewashing Awesome buddy! I hope you guys have a blessed season!!

[@Reign1]

Can I use this on my softwash pump not a downstream injector ?

[@steppspressurewashing]

I have never tried it, but as long as the GPM is the same I believe it would work. One way to find out for sure though!

[@zackd7597]

Do you control whether both nozzles are pulling no chemical by controlling if downstream connected to SH?

[@steppspressurewashing]

I don't have a DSI bypass. One nozzle has a large orifice allowing a lower back pressure in the line causing soap to flow. One Nozzle has a smaller orifice creating a higher back pressure in the line which stops the flow of chem.

[@zackd7597]

I’m asking about the M5 and sharp shooter tips

[@steppspressurewashing]

Oh, sorry! No they are both Soap nozzles. So you would have to have a DSI bypass, or physically stop the SH from flowing.

[@HouseWashingRick]

What kind of pump do you have and how long is the hose you are running

[@steppspressurewashing]

I have a 4gpm AR pump. 14hp kholer engine. I have used both for 3 years now. 200ft of hose

[@doomslayerforever2858]

@@steppspressurewashing you should look into atleast a 5,5gpm pump for that engine. ull lose some psi but whatever u gain much higher rinsing speed since u have a trailer and buffer tank

[@nickwilliam24]

Nice video. Wish the house was dirtier so we can see the difference. Hard to tell from the video if the house even needed a cleaning yet

[@steppspressurewashing]

Hi Nick, So the process of soft washing doesn't really change from one nozzle to the next. This one was just testing the ability to apply the detergents with different nozzles. I have been using the M5 every job now, and absolutely love it!!

[@steppspressurewashing]

Here's a Video of me washing a very dirty house with the M5DS and using the x jet to rinse kzbin.info/www/bejne/roS9gXuPesalrrM

[@30iuoenyc]

What are u guys getting per sqft in NC??

[@steppspressurewashing]

I charge $0.10 per sq ft, but we are currently reviewing our house wash pricing because we are closing about 90% of leads. Our concrete is $0.25 / sq ft and we are about 60% closing on them.

[@rodr.j5513]

So they both pair good together?

[@steppspressurewashing]

Not really, i use the M5DS with the Xjet M5 99% of the time now
