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.
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!
Nailed it with the added clip at the end. There are only two types of purchase, assets and liabilities.
Yea, this is by far the best rig video I've seen...yall keep making that money...EAST TN POWERWASH...
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.
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. Lance @ Quality Power Washing. (Power because we had initially planned to have a hot water system but funds were cut in half after we formed our LLC. Learning and burning. lol
How much is insurance?
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!
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 💰
Not like the cookie cutting “look at my rig.” This was very useful and I appreciate the real talk about affordability vs. luxury rigs (price to performance). Thanks for sharing honestly how much it you spent. +1 like & Sub. 😎👍
Thank you!!!
@@AustinDavis24 hi Sr.. very well video.

Great information this video really helped me out a lot I’m stationed in California
Great video!!! Thanks for the great content.
Excellent advice. Especially the financial aspects. Very true. Great video!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your content brother, just getting started and found my 2500, gonna pretty much copy this set up exactly! Sending my thanks from Florida!
Thanks a lot!
Great advice. Thank you! Very helpful.
Awesome thank you so much for sharing. So much more practical for someone starting out. Really appreciate it!
Yes thank you!! Your welcome
Very impressive review. I needed that.
Great stuff, Brother! Great advice.
First time seeing your video. With that truck and equipments you got a good thing going on. And putting that shower head on the truck is a game changer and very handy to have. I'm trying to start my pressure washing business. But I won't be going up on roofs to clean them. I'm scared of heights 😂😂😂 Thank you for the helpful information. New subscriber 😊Great video 🙂
I really like this simple build nice video
Very nice video. Do what you love or whats the point. You have to have the drive to work for yourself. Many people go broke trying to make a business. I always give the business a full 1/3 of the money earned. This way you will always have this in reserve in times of need.
Sweet, I needed to know where to get SH in Austin, thanks! Nice truck too man.
Haha.. Man i wish i got into the business 2 yrs ago! Southeast soft wash for their Gen 2 skid /w a surface cleaner is $29,000. I just bought their Mini skid(pro Max) and it cost $15,000!!
Part of me feels like l got taken. But, the other part of me feels like i made a solid decision to get my business started on the right foot. That peice of mind, and having a professional rig does help me with my confidence getting into a brand new businesses. So, im happy and looking forward to the future. Thanks for your videos. 👍
Best price to complexity rigs I’ve seen yet. Will be using this to start my one business . All of the other units is see are way to complex . This looks like it gets the job done
Thank you!!
A shower !
Brilliant . One should have an eyewash station as well
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.
Good stuff! I built my business with basic equipment.. my first month we did awesome!
#Women Rock #Women Entrepreneurs
Let’s go!!!
Wow thank you sir !!
Awesome setup!
For anyone looking for the best in the game, Southeast Softwash’s pressure washing and softwashing trailers are the way to go. Simply the best.
lol they got you on commission? Overpriced…
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!
Fellow Austinite! Born and raised 👋
Great hose reel
GREAT VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is exactly what I was looking for!
Do you have a blend manifold system to mix you SH, Surfactant, and water?
I do not have a blend system. I will be adding that next season
Hey Brother great content as usual, i noticed your links were not working, at least for the hose reels. Make sure your getting those conversions man, because you deserve them. Thanks :)
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
I'm using my wife's Hyundai Elantra Touring. Been searching forba truck for 6 months...
@Tyler Harris it's a hatchback and the seats fold down. I have a rack on the roof for my whirl away and ladders. It's sufficient for now as I search for a truck that accommodates my needs and won't deplete my savings.. lol

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
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. The shower station is a great idea. Also, good to hear what a truck costs. Thanks.
Great idea but does that shower run off your 12 v softwash pump? If so wouldn’t u be getting residue bleach coming out?
It's feeding off the garden hose which is connected to the customers hose bib and also suppling water to the PC. The pump is for the chemical mix.
Nice setup. It looks really similar to mine. Good money maker and very efficient. 👍
It’s a very simple layout but effective! And cheap!
@@AustinDavis24 Exactly. Make that money and then upgrade if you want to.
man you freed me today thanks great video its hard not to get Claut up in the Fancey skids, but I will not be buying the nice rigs I will be building from ground up. will a 4 gpm work work for dumpster pads and flat work
Hey Austin great content, can you make a video how you bolted the hose reels on the right hand side of truck bed
Not sure if I can dedicate a whole video to that, but if you like you can message me on Instagram and I can show you
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 :)
Make that money BABY!!!
Right on
Damn I wish I watched this video before I bought my skid luckily for me I have another business running (tree service) and will be more than fine but would have preferred to save the money and build a skid like yours anyways hopefully I win tomorrow still need all those hoses and soft wash system and chemical drums and I’ll be complete ! Loved the video Austin you the man you’ve really helped me out so much in understanding everything better with all your videos and love the hustle and mindset you have very inspiring ! -Robert Villarreal from San Antonio !
Thank you so much Robert!
Austin, Thank you for the great information! you’re an inspiration. I'm a woman and I lost my job a week ago. I want to start a residential pressure washing business in Houston, TX but I heard in order to get my business license I need to get a water recovery system for pressure washing. Can you please give some advice?. Thanks Eudi
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.
Great Video thanks Austin. For the same set up in Canada I am probably looking at 6500CAD still worth it though and a good starter kit! The soft wash alone id 1850USD which is about 2500CAD
Prices have definitely gone up in the last year or 2
My brother knows how to weld would be sweet making a nice one from aluminum.
Really wish I could work with u for a day just for knowledge.
Outstanding job putting your rig together. Your business sense seems well based in common sense. I'm also in Austin, so when you mention the heat I know what you're talking about. Where are you buying your SH , if you don't mind me asking?
What’s up brother! Napco chemical. In luling. $1.85 a gallon
Q
Looking nice man. Great information. I live in Boston where we can get a ton of snow in winter time. Does it set up work in Winter? How inconvenient is it to have this set up in Van instead of pick up truck? Thanks for any insight bro.
I’d like to do this but in an enclosed trailer
So I can fit a 36inch mower,edger ,trimmer and leaf blower
Great video. Nice simple set up. Money maker
Thanks joe!!!
@@AustinDavis24 Joe Deery build for sure
@@lawncommander duh!!
Great video man. How did you mount that pressure washer to the 2x4's? Are they all just screwed together?
I’m starting in a 95 accord with a 2.5 gpm I’m saving for a 4 gpm but you’re an inspiration dude! I’m grinding by grinding I mean I’m going around knocking on doors like when I was young with a lawnmower 🤣 I’ll get there though 😎
How has it been for you so far?
Update?
Bro exactly on the same boat lol, all that natters is that we start
Sorry for the delayed response fellas never got notified about comments, I did pretty good my 1st summer got several jobs and my uncle sold me his old truck for cheap, she’s old but kicking I’m ready for my 2nd summer though hoping to triple what I did last summer, I held of on getting a bigger unit for now I want to make sure that it’s a good investment good luck to everyone trying hopefully we all make it!!
@@JuicyBrisket ayee glad to hear! Im just starting aswell with an accord as well !
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
But thats 12000 for everything, truck, equipment, licensing, flyers
Wow... You got Setup cheap: $4,000 for equipment & $4,000 for a good used truck. Awesome.
I’m starting with a 3.5 4K psi hot water unit. You think that’s good to start with? For residential and commercial?
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....🤣🤣
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
Lots of info
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?
Build the business first and worry about the equipment later that slap hard big ups super cool truck.
You know what your doing
Where do you buy your chemicals? Also, where did you get the 60, 30 and 15 gallon drums? Thanks!
Good stuff, realness! Have you known of anyone ordering a non CA complaint pressure washer to a neighboring state and just driving it into CA yourself? I ask because on websites, even amazon won’t ship commercial pressure washers to CA. I have jobs but need a commercial pw! I’d appreciate any help on this issue, thanks a lot, keep up the helpful videos!
I’m sure you can do it!! Call and ask around companies in your area
What truck bed size is your truck. Do recommend a 61/2 or 8 foot
What about truck decals? What a cheaper way to get around that? Great video
Hey Austin do you have any videos of how to use chemicals?
Where do you get the stickers that are on the truck? Like the custom stickers?
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
Hi Austin
no buffer tank needed for a 4gpm? im currently running a 2.5 but needing to upgrade.. dont quite have the capital at the moment to go with a 8gpm machine, but also running out of an s10 truck. worried about weight capacity with a buffer tank that is too big.
Sorry for my ignorance on this, I didn’t understand the 3 watt valve thing. Can you explain that to me?
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?
Did u bolt down the piece of wood
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.
PLEASE HELP!!! I need help I have so much stuff and can't pay a soul to help!!! Everyone just want me to buy their stuff! This video was great much appreciated.
Great content, love the rig. How many seasons have you been doing this?
1.5!
@@AustinDavis24 do you do dumpster pads.
@@samueljordan3329 no I do not. Dosent seem worth my time
What’s size tubing do you run from the water tank to pressure washer ?
how was your shipping time with pressure washers direct because i’ve been waiting almost 2 weeks and it hasn’t even shipped yet
Great video! Austin, I'm a teacher and am wanting to do this part time (after 3:00) during the school year and full time in summers. I live in the country outside the city. I was thinking with the amount of heavy equipment I see going by daily, maybe I could lean into that as a focus area. My understanding is you need the hot water power wash option to get the grease, etc. What would you recommend as the most economical setup, or would you stick with cold?
Hey Tom! I wouldn’t be able to provide you the best advice on that particular area of the pressure washing business. I have no experience washing heavy equipment/trucks/ 18-wheelers. I don’t know if you need hot/cold or what kind of products are needed. I would see about doing some research on what other people are using and then go with the best and most affordable option sense you’re starting out
Hey Tom, I used to be a teacher and left in the mid 1990’s to start power washing full time. I did it part time for a few years and then realized I could make a lot more money with my power washing business. If you have enough vinyl or hardiplank homes in your area and they’re growing mildew, Your much better off and it is much easier to wash homes than to wash heavy equipment. I wash 4-5 houses every day for 9 1/2 months out of the year. I turn down heavy equipment.
Hey Tom! I currently wash Semi's and Tractors, and Tractor trailers. We use a 2 step method starting with soaking in Aluminum Brightener Acid( lets sit for 1 -2 minutes) Then soap, brush, then rinse. We ONLY use hot water if it is close to freezing or freezing outside so they soap or water doesn't begin to freeze . In regard to the grease etc. , I put de-greaser in with our soap. Hope this helps! (If you run hot water stay a safe distance from mirrors and windows because pressurized hot water can shatter windows)
I’m sure every state is different with auto insurance. But something like this that has you business advertising on the side. Do you have to get a commercial auto policy for that or have you heard of just using personal auto insurance?
The 3700 included the truck price ?
There it is Big Bertha 1.0 lol the new rig is the 2.0!
What type of permit do I need in Texas to start this business, I’m thinking of doing the business
So I’m starting my business up just waiting on my LLC and Insurance but I got my rig setup I got a 3500 with a flatbed with a 275 gallon tote 16 gallon Chem thank I got a 5 gallon soap tank with a GX630, softwash setup made my own proportioner and gun, surface cleaner as well. But waiting on my LLC is driving me bat shit
Hi Austin where can I buy that soft wash sistem , or how can I find the parts
I’m a mobile detailer looking to expand into pressure washing. I have a 6.6 ft bed with a camper shell. How do you recommend setting up a skid that would allow me to also pressure wash effectively?
I know nothing about mobile detailing. So I wouldn’t be able to properly give you my opinion. Depends what’s you want to focus more on
