im making my little honda/3gpm work it's ass off until i can get a nice one soon. just got done with a little quarter acre lawn for a customer got'er knocked out bois👌 lol thanks for the vid brotha keep stackin the dough

I'm so grateful for your advise here. I was about to go and buy a stihl 2.7gpm washer for $500 in a few hours. And I was going to bid too low on jobs as well it seems. Thanks for saving me all that disappointment. Seems I need to re-evaluate my plan and make some much needed adjustments. Awesome vids and great advise. Just subscribed to and will be using your channel to educate myself.

Hammered out another job today. Came out to $120 hr. Gotta hussle up this money! Need to get a web site asap. You time and knowledge on business is so valuable. Thank you. Wish there was a way to share with you the before and after pictures of this last job. By the way, I need a downstream compatible pressure washer. This was my first real m5 xjet job. Gotta lose the bucket! 😶

i picked up a 3.5 GPM used for $200 2 years ago this winter i built a 12GPM pump with a Preditor motor.... cost me $2,500 but that 3.5GPM paid for this over last two years 20 times over

Can u help me? I just got a 2.4 gpm with 34oo psi .... gulps

I just bought the DeWalt 4GPM 4.2K PSI for $500 & the Canonpump “22 surface cleaner for $500. I know it’s not a lot but I’ll make it worth my while before it breaks down. I thank you so much for your advice, I will for sure partner up with your team regarding a website.

Out of all the videos I’ve seen this guy makes the most sense . Great video !!

I'm 66yrs old and been through things like crazy, and my Dad is 88yrs. Of hard work, but we get paid...luv you honesty man

My advice guys. If you're looking for a pressure washer to start a business with; don't go to Home Depot, don't go to Lowe's,and for God sake don't rent. Do a little research an buy online; you can get a great starter that you could use for 3 or 4 years. An that will give 4,000 psi, and 5 gpm gas powered hot,or cold water for under $2,000 and it's portable. Now you'll have to have a truck,or van to haul it, but if you had to move it you can it's on wheels. If you can't afford that much then get the most you can afford along with some attachments. An I'd also recommend 4 attachments. A 16 to 20 inch disk a 20 inch 2 wheeled horizontal wand for sidewalks a turbo nozzle,and a main nozzle with telescopic capabilities. Because a pressure washer that's up on a ladder is just hemorrhaging profit. Don't buy anything with Ryobi, DeWalt,or Simpson. Stihl,and Easy Kleen are both great starters. An Easy Kleen is a commercial grade that starts at $900.00 goes up to $15,000 before it gets into custom made rigs.

I have a 4400 psi pressure washer for my commercial business. Strong ass hell and good for the houses I wash, which are FULL of mud, paint, and glue stucked on the concrete

Great vid aaron, you crack me the hell up dude! Just upgraded from a 4gpm to a 8gpm hot water pressure pro LETS GO!

I don’t care. I operate.

Just ran across your video.... I do a lot pressure washing for did people but never really considered making a real business.. that’s for lighting a flame under me.

Hey I got a $349 Westinghouse 2.6GPM for $90. Could not pass it up. I understand the general rule of thumb for surface cleaners is 4 inches per GPM. Will a 15 inch surface cleaner be OK if I just run it at a slower pace for now?

do an awesome job with the tools and products you got and you'll get business. I started out auto detailing with a crappy Ryobi pressure washer and took my time and did extra and made customers happy.. they all refer me to hundreds of people they associate with. know what else those people have?..homes and driveways and sidewalks that need cleaning too so as I got business for car cleaning. I offered them all service to clean their driveways and around the house. now that crap ryobi washer although good for cars sucks for anything else so I got a used Honda GX washer with 3 to 4 gpm from some guy who couldn't get customers . sold to me for 400 with a 20 " surface cleaner and 100 ft hose thing had everything. I spent 100 to service the machine and now I have a ton a work on top of the auto detailing. you have to want it, go after it and be efficient and people will seek you out for your quality work. I also drop my price per job and then suggest they do a quarterly clean, so instead of getting 1000 for a job once a year I get 1500 for going 3 times a yr. the 2nd n 3rd is easy because you already did all the hard work the 1st time. just keeping it clean is where the real business is. repeat maintenance customers on a schedule. THIS IS THE WAY

Warm water equals less cleaner. Warm water will activate on alge fast for a quicker clean time. I can clean a house with one gallon of 12% plus soap per 55 gallons of water if the water is warm. Most single Family homes take about 80 gallons of liquid for cleaning and 120 gallons to rinse 200 gallons of liquid total for most single Family homes here in northern Virginia. When its colder and water is cold your time goes up as well as cleaner and water. Warm water is just more efficient. Not saying you need it but it does make a difference. Just from my experience. If you are running solely 12 volt with a 275 gallon tote like we do you can go to farm and tractor supply and get a tank heater to keep your water warm. They are about $50 :) just make sure your temp is under 100 degs so you dont crack glass in winter or melt vinyl lol
