      Haha I should really put a waterproof jacket on when spraying hypo. It’s the chemical hose that does it when clearing up. 😂

    One of my first jobs a last week was paving slabs. You're right underwhelming until you see the before and after once theyre bone dry!

    You really need a run hours meter (amazon £15) then you can change the oil at the correct number of run hrs. Regular oil changes on the engine and pump will extend the life of the machine. If you have never given it an oil change then do it asap before the pw season really kicks off.

    Not sure what van or year your after just keep away from ford transit. I have one turbo as gone at 77k. The belts are £1000+ so just be careful. Grand job on the drive. Think slabs could have done with some chemicals on them but still a 100% improvement.

    I can almost taste the grit and mud/sweat on your face. Been there!
    I know the customer opted for no chemicals, but it would only have cost you an extra £10-£20 and your before and after shots would have looked so much better - but i suppose the customer gets what they want.

    Hi Weir Jet Washing,
    I visited your UA-cam channel and watched your videos, the content is very good. But due to video optimization problems, the video is not getting viral and views, likes, and comments. Your problems need to be fixed.
    If you do SEO your views will increase to 5x to 10x and that will help you boost your sales. You are losing that opportunity.
