I bought that Simpson washer new. That's a steal at 300, hope it lasts for ya. Great video

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Yes it was! Unfortunately sure was stolen 😭 building up a new rig as we speak🤘🏾 thank you for checking out the channel

[@eddievasquez6280]

Man I'm sorry to hear that. I looks like you're using that bump in the road as a stepping stone as motivation to move on to bigger and better things. Keep pushing forward 💪 I just watched your buffer tank video looking forward to seeing your progress.

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

@@eddievasquez6280 thank you my friend. we just getting started

[@drowization]

nice vid but an air hose for your soft washing ????

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Air hose is code word for a hybrid hose 🤘🏾

[@americanoservicesLLC]

thank you for your video. How are those red Vevor hoses treating you?

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Unfortunately, it is an amazing hose. I say unfortunate because they no longer sell these for the low price of $119. They are now $200 😭

[@americanoservicesLLC]

@@cardinalprosoftwash just found them 3/8 hose for $79 at 250ft… snagged me one up for water fed system…

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Where? 👀

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Oh yeah the 3/8 inexpensive the half inch is what I use and it's 200

[@kkutube1972]

Is the water pump still working?

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Absolutely. I've had zero issues with the Softwash System. Just make sure to rinse after every wash🤘🏾 thanks for commenting

[@riversidepressurewashing2024]

quick question if you dont mind me asking. where did you get your leads from when you first started

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Excellent question. I started with flyers, door knocking and business cards. Of course I spoke to basically all of my friends and family and asked them to let me wash their houses and their parents houses 🤣

[@LGPressureWashing]

It might be a dumb question but do you have to unreel the whole pressure hose before using or can you still have some winded up while pressure washing?

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

@@LGPressureWashing not a dumb question. I've asked that before myself 🤣 what I like to do is take off the amount that I need because I want full water flow. I always take off at least 100 ft of hose even if I only need 50ft. I do know some washers that keep the hose on the reel. I just don't think it's a good idea because the hose expands under pressure which could be a problem if it is still on the reel 👀. That's actually a great question my guy thanks for commenting 🤘🏾

[@LGPressureWashing]

@@cardinalprosoftwash thank you for replying wish you nothing but success bro!

[@drummer2788]

How do you feee your pressure washer? Does it suck water from your tanks or straight from spiket

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

I go straight from the spigot but I know that some direct drive pressure washers will pull from a tank 🤘🏾 typically you would want the tank to be elevated above the pressure washer though

[@domgiambanco8819]

How does the surface cleaner work with just 4gpm? Amy streaking?

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

@@domgiambanco8819 went to my local pressure washing shop and had them put in the appropriate nozzles for 4GPM machine and I have zero issues. Obviously I'm going to walk slower than I would if I had an 8 Gpm machine so I would advise if you go with a larger unit like this walk a little slower and you should have no issues. I also recommend a post-treatment of about 3% and it'll look as good as new 🤘🏿 thanks for commenting

[@karnifeks5426]

I may have missed it if you said it, but what brand and size hoses are you using for softwash? Seen alot about people using air hose

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Yeah there's really no such thing as soft wash hose so we all use air hose. The most popular hose is Flexzilla. I preferred this hose because it was half the price and the stuff is awesome! www.amazon.com/VEVOR-Air-Hose-inch-250/dp/B0BTY8T6XT/ref=asc_df_B0BTY8T6XT/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=650519467113&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16760301783030736401&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9014227&hvtargid=pla-1992925011566&psc=1

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

You can even use garden hose if you wanted to. The problem with that is it will not last as long and it's not nearly as flexible but it is a lot cheaper

[@washprosplus]

Have you pulled that trailer with both of your tanks full?

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Oh hell no! 😲 I don't recommend that with a small single axle trailer like mine. I usually Carry the SH in smaller 5gallon containers and fill up once I get to the job🤘🏾

[@eddievasquez6280]

I have the same trailer. I will only fill the 50 gal half with chem at most and fill water at customers house.

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Very smart! Plus it'll save Yo brakes!🤣

How are those Pentair valves working for you?

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

They were working just fine. Can't give you a long-term update because someone stole my entire trailer 😭😭😭

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

I will say since I've been using the precision valves I like those a lot more. These valves actually have more tactical feedback and they stay exactly where you put them. I didn't have any problems with the pentair valves, but I've heard of some horror stories with build quality

[@mctragix628]

I’m just confused how you made a video saying $2,000 trailer build like you were helping us out but equipment for free don’t make sense.

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

First item is a pressure hose reel. Typically you spend around $250 this one is $99. I mention Facebook Marketplace multiple times ( cheaper than retail stores) I also mentioned Amazon again much cheaper than retail. The popular softwash hose by flexzilla usually goes for around $250. This one was $99 l. The second hose I mentioned I spent $125 again, the more popular brands go for $250. Most softwash systems that include a proportioning system go for around $2,500 this one was $900. Reminding people to ask around for free equipment sounds like pretty good advice to me but you obviously would rather pay so go right ahead. In just the four items I mentioned above, there is over $2,500 in savings. I may not be helping you out my guy but I have plenty of viewers that have been very thankful. Sorry this video didn't fulfill your needs 🤘🏾

[@43supermark]

Plus the cost of the trailer? Either way, great job! Good luck with your business. I bought a Mini skid from a company in Alabama. Cost me 7X"s of your build and probably won't do much better at the end of day! 😅😂 Im launching my business soon. Getting the equipment together, licenses, insurance and marketing etc.. Hopefully I'll be started by march 2024. 👍 Congratulations on your venture.

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Yeah that's the way to do it! I'll also assume that you've invested in some courses to have a JumpStart on the game🤘🏿 that's what I did and next season I'm going to invest in marketing and let the flower bloom! Thanks for the love my friend hopefully you get out there and tear it up🤑
