And Some more pictures.

Unfortunately/fortunately due to some life changes (2nd son being born) I need to let this business go and focus on my main career. Wife is going to be staying home and my current job needs to be the main focus and income. Therefore I am selling all of my fairly new pressure washing equipment...

So being still new to this I need some help. I picked up a pressure gauge to test what I was getting out of my machine. It is a water dragon skid, 3500psi @ 5.6gpm. I connected it to the high pressure line right before it goes in to the reel. I was getting about 2000psi through 150ft of hose...

Hey guys looking to have a commercial trifold brochure or post card designed and printed for mailing out. Anyone have a good recommendation? Also what is a good price on this? I have never priced it out before.

Just curious if any one wants to share an example of equipment maintenance schedule and tips. This is our first full year running and want my equipment running well all season. I want guns, quick connects, nozzles, pump, shurflo pumps, and other items to not wear out sooner than supposed to...

Got a quote to clean some oil off asphalt and wanted to get some thoughts. It has been getting built up over the past couple years and is about 30ft x 2ft. I was thinking about hitting it with 1:1 EBC with about 25 min dwell and agitation, then hitting it with hot water and surface cleaner...

Hey guys just thought I would let you guys know that ace hardware has rv freeze on sale for $2.99 a gallon. That seems to be the lowest I could find it for by a couple bucks. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

Well we are a few days into to our second job, an acrylic stain deck strip and it is killing me. This stuff is a nightmare to get off! I got about 85% of it off, but now we are going to sand the rest. Is this type of job one of the hardest a pressure washer will do? I now know why so many people...

Well over the last two days we tried to strip a deck covered with Bher solid color. We covered it with Citristrip yesterday and then covered it with plastic to let it dwell with out it drying out. Today went to clean it and some areas came up but most of it didn't. We applied some more stripper...

Hey guys had a customer ask me to clean their brick house. Home is probably 50 years old low two story house. Being new a lot of jobs are cherry poppers for me and need little help. Question is do you just use regular house wash mix? Do I use a different cleaner for brick? Can I use oxalic on it...

Hey guys while cleaning some concrete today I had a gentle ask me to look at cleaning his patio. The patio had previously had astro turf on it and now has been pulled up. There seems to be leftover adhesive and some rubber left on it that the customer can't get up. He said they tried goo gone...

I tried searching but couldn't come up with much. What is the best way to apply oil based wood stains? Hand brush and roll ? Cheap pump up sprayer and back brush? Deckster? Shur-flo and back brush? Just starting off so can't afford to spend $500-$800 for a setup. Love some input, and thanks in...

I have possibly a dumb question, but being new i need to ask. I bought my water dragon skid from Paul that had the soft wash system on it. Currently only one of the two pumps are set up on it to pull from the chem tanks. I know that some people plumb the second pump to transfer full strength SH...

I was looking at Peel Away online because I am getting ready to a deck that has been stained with solid Bher color, and came across this. Anyone ever use it? http://www.amazon.com/Citri-Strip-QCG73801T-Varnish-Stripping-1-Quart/dp/B000QFCP1G/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1379739759&sr=1-1

So today was our first ever deck cleaning and I think overall it turned out pretty good. I used sodium percarbonate to clean and oxalic acid to brighten the wood. There was a lot of rain today that kept washing off my chem's making it a little more difficult. There are a couple things on the...
