I have been in business for 30 years , painting and pressure washing , you have just given the best advice for starting in business. You will go far.

Austin, honest and straight to the point no BS - THANK YOU!

As much as I like your current videos these older ones are gold. Thank you for taking the time to make them.

Nailed it with the added clip at the end. There are only two types of purchase, assets and liabilities.

Very well spoken and great video, finally some useful help to getting in the game...Sometimes you have to fake it ,until you make it...Thank you great encouragement!

Yea, this is by far the best rig video I've seen...yall keep making that money...EAST TN POWERWASH...

Completely agree with you! if you don't have the money to spend on those new things! just build it yourself!when you got your bussines running in a good direction and if is needed do it! Good video man!

Nice video Buddy. I was up in the air on my selection of a soft wash systems. You helped me make that decision easier. Thanks.

You’re a smart guy and very well spoken.

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.

Pretty good information buddy. Thanks for give something so important, that’s true, don’t run if you don’t know how to walk, start easy and keep going yourself until the next point, I think is much better to understand how works every part of your rig if you built it. Thanks 💰

Thank you for all the videos, your great encouragement! I'm thinking of getting my own business.

lol they got you on commission? Overpriced…

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.

Wow thank you sir !!

Great hose reel

Thanks for the video. Can you make a video step by step how to use the equipment and how to mix the chemicals?

Love my Gen II

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!

Awesome setup!

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

Can you please give some advice?. Thanks Eudi

I have a limited budget just starting out, i purchased a 2.5 gpm pressure washer but I’m wondering if it will get jobs done.. We shall see. Might have to return that and just pay some more for a 4gpm. I’ll keep ya updated :)

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!

I have an Xjet. Didn’t like it. Down streaming to me is a lot simpler and I hate waving around a hose at the end of my wand. And now my new setup that I’m getting in a month will have a remote downstream injector.

Question, where do you park your truck? And have you had any issues with someone stealing anything while it's parked? Great video. No debt is good....🤣🤣

Lol I love that. You brought up 12000 in the hole and thats what I took a loan out for😂 I dont mind though, If i cant make the payment every month i’m doing something wrong. I more or less did it to have a truck. If I cant find a way to make 300 a month im awful and should sell it lmao

What did you use for bolts or screws to go through the wood then the bed rail? I’m doing the same thing today. Also did you go through the hose reel down through the wood to the bed. Or secured the wood to the bed then secured the reel to the wood. I just want to do this safely till I can upgrade

Build the business first and worry about the equipment later that slap hard big ups super cool truck.

Hey Austin I really need a answer to this. I’m building a skid and semi modeling it after yours but I’m wondering how you mounted that pressure washer on the 2x4s. I have the same engine as you and I don’t want to spend $200 on a aluminum skid. Also would you do it like that again or do you know a better way?

Sorry for my ignorance on this, I didn’t understand the 3 watt valve thing. Can you explain that to me?

How do you recric the water getting drawn into your pressure washer when it's not in use. As in, how do you re-route your dump line

I'm trying to start and I'm a big amateur. Can you please provide a schematic of your truck setup please?

I need a few face to face in person personal tips for myself if you wouldn’t mind. Started my business on my own no guidance just a little bit of experience.

There it is Big Bertha 1.0 lol the new rig is the 2.0!

Where do you get the stickers that are on the truck? Like the custom stickers?

What’s size tubing do you run from the water tank to pressure washer ?

How do you mix other chemicals into your big mixing tank? Or do you just use bleach? Just curious on your measurements if you add in anything else besides bleach and water and how that is done

Do you drill holes into the truck to mount the hose reels?

What truck bed size is your truck. Do recommend a 61/2 or 8 foot
