Honestly, you're extremely fluid and I appreciate that man! You worked like a 15hour day and still had it in you to film an outro to your video. I respect that and you definitely got a new subscriber here! I will be checking out any trailer build setup videos you have and any advice you give on pricing a job. I'm new to the commercial power washing/ house washing industry and I heavily rely on videos like yours to run my company!! Thank you
It’s good you share the hard times. We all have left what we don’t think we need. Part of the deal. You just helped someone not to be a bonehead like us! Good job today! Nothing feels better than the shower after a long day like you had. On a positive note. You can’t lay your head down tonight feeling satisfied!

Austin you stay killing it bro I love the hustle and I hope more great bids come your way 🔥🤟🏻
Right outside my neighborhood, I love it!
Appreciate the video ! Stay on your grind💪
Look into the Milwaukee packout. I've the 3 drawer chest and 2 organizers and has everything i need in it. Bolted to the trailer. It's waterproof unless you're using high pressure direct stream of water then it will infiltrate. But works fantastic! Great video as always!
Great work Austin!
It's always the little things brother.. rigs looking good, gotta love that 🔥 water..
Im watching your video getting little boy(my big truck) ready for a job 6 hrs away, rolling out with a 5 man crew.. 💪... stay grinding 👊....
Love the videos Austin!!
Killing it!
absolutely love these videos man! Keep it up. Very well said, when shit goes wrong get back on the horses and keep moving baby!
Thank you brother!
So what’d you do with the water? Reclaim system or what?
This is crazy, started a pressure washing company, found your videos and this is the fifth video I watched this week. Found out you’re in San Antonio too!!! Cool there’s money out here thank you for showing some game. Excited to get more jobs.
Another great vid, and, I also like that you include your money making numbers unlike most, well done,,,,
Found your channel from watching Joe Deery and Powerful Improvements. Great content. I’m in the process of building my first trailer to get started as a side gig. Your trailer looks wicked all lit up at night!
Haha thank you!!
Fantastic work brother
Next time you have tire marks I use potassium hydroxide flakes. I mix 96 oz of flakes to every gallon of water. It's the same stuff they use on hoods and vents in restaurants I just mix way hotter and downstream it let dwell for 2 to 5 minutes and start surface cleaning.
Great job👍
hey found your channel around march and will say have taught me so much and are so helpful thanks for letting me hit 100k this year
Hey thanks for Watching!
O-rings and a pick tool can be found at any auto parts store . They may not have been a Viton o-ring but it would have gotten you by for a long time.
Good stuff bro
Hey brother, what size tips are you using on you SC and what size SC you have. Also just curious, after using the f9 or a degreaser, do you post treat afterwards. Great work. You can also use NAPA's aluminum brightener which might be cheaper for the red clay. Nice work
A wise old man told me one time, always keep O-rings on your key ring thankyou for sharing this content.
Thats why i always keep all my tools, o ring kits etc in a job box in my truck that sucks
Happened to me at my last job with a busted pressure hose. I never leave my back up equipment again. Smh lol
Many times we feel stupid but usually, we aren't.
Except sometimes, when we are lol
Austin - Do you prefer the power scrubber on caster wheels or without?
Hey there Austin, I wash alot of hardscape concrete...next time try SH / surfactant at a hot mix...it will make it look new....zero tire marks even in the busiest drive thru situations.
What is a hot mix?
What’s a hot mix???
This was awesome! Can you do a video breaking down how you allocate funds for upgrading equipment? I am currently making $12-18k in revenue per month and need to upgrade equipment but have to store it all at a storage facility ($500 per month). I’m not sure if it is a good move for me to spend $500-700 per month on equipment financing when I’m about to head into fall/winter season in Washington…
Do you ever have township issues with the suds going in to the storm drains? I know some are picky.
The o ring burner so hard to find when you need them
What chemical should I use to clean driveways with a 4.2gpm washer and when and how do I use it? All I have right now is a $1000 preditor washer from harbor freight. I work full time as a foreman for a Union Carpenter company but want to start a power washing business for weekend work, I need tips Awsome video, just ran across your videos about to bengwatch them all
can you do a video on how you fixed your O rings ??????❤
I see you Bosman what would be a starter hot water machine thanks in advance or did you use hot
water
so on that stone house do you softwash with your 12 volt then rinse with the pressure washer? I thought you rinsed with the 12 volt too but i don’t know much so
what size water tank would you recommend for an 8gpm pressure washer? I'd like to go as small as possible but im guessing ill need at least 200 gallons?
Great video btw! Did you use hot water on the whole job? Would cold water have worked? Wondering too have you used an xjet before? I have a gas powered soft wash set up but it's only 5.5hp and would take much longer to put down chems. Wonder if I use an xjet w/my 4gpm PW of that decrease the time of putting down chems esp. On concrete. Any thoughts, suggestions?
Yes I did. Im sure cold water would have worked with he right chemicals. Hot water is just nice to have
What is down streaming ? Do u use a different pump / nozzle / applicator?
how do you treat the plants and landscaping?
Hey did you you the water heater at jiffy
Do you have a course on sale or anything like that? Explaining how to set up everything where to buy the chemicals etc? I’d love
To buy it!
Well this is all the equipment that you need so i would buy that! If you look at my early early videos I have a video called “ the best pressure washing setup for beginners “. It’s my most popular video. That’s basically everything you see in this video.
Do you think a 2.5 gpm can a dirty drive-thru? We have a 15 inch surface cleaner.
do you clean back side of chimney ?
Dude you have my luck!! I always do the same shitt..... never bring everything I need.... haha
Did you ever use Lye for tire marks?
How would you calculate these mixes if you don’t have that type of rig? Or would you recommend I buy that rig as an absolute beginning. I have the money to buy everything needed (including the truck) my current job pays really well but like everyone on this video, my dream is to have my own business. But I also don’t want to buy the best of the best stuff without having any clients, what are you thoughts?(main question) how do you calculate the mix of solutions without that rig
Who makes the shirts and are the chemical resistance?
Long day but looks like it was worth it
Yessir Rick!
What ratio did you do with the f9?
where do i buy the surfactant you use ?
How did you price out the jiffy lube. Also can someone make a video on how to price a roof wash. For example, let’s just say it’s a 2000 square-foot house with an average pitch asphalt shingle roof and you want to be at $.30 per square foot. How do you come up with the actual square footage of the roof? What I have been doing is based on the same example is take 2000 multiply that by 1.2 and then multiply that by $.30, then I add about $75 for chemical. I’m interested to see how other people do it.
Do you have a tool box in the truck? I will have all least a small one with my tools because I have seen things go wrong too often. Better luck next time.
A lot of that inconsistency in the concrete is probable splatter or spilled mortar from the stone work I would guess.
I’m new to the business been doing it for six months for us new guys how do you properly quote a job?
I always don’t think I need my little tool box for a 30 minute job and then those jobs turn into a 1 hour job, very frustrating indeed
Hey friend, how much do you charge per square foot? I contracted one for the house, how much does it cost and that parking lot?
Get a tool box on your truck bro! itll save you a lot of time. If you cant fit it, do an underseat one for your back seat.
I just bought a nice one
Bless me with the name if yr pink surfactant you mix yr sh with ? And awesome video keep up the hard work man paying off 🤑i just started washing 4 months ago going great thinking about leaving my 9to 5 and going full time since I've been making what I make in a week on the weekends but I find jobs Thur my 9to 5 I'm a termite inspector so I'm waiting till i get marketing done right
The Surfactant is called Southern Style Surfactant.
I didn't see a water recovery system in place at Jiffy Lube ?
Do you collect the waste water?
Must of missed it but what happened to the truck skid? Preferred the trailer better?
Lol everyone is saying the same thing! Like I got rid of it or something. I would never get rid of my truck. This is my second rig.
That’s one hell of a unit you have . How many years were you doing this when you decided to upgrade and invest in that whole trailer set up? I imagine you were just running things out of the bed of a truck with a rather simple setup before this trailer set up we see here , ya?
Thanks in advanced .
Oh yea! Cruise through the history of my channel and you can see my old setups
Toolbox should never leave your truck. Time is money
Are you in the San Antonio area. I live here
Can you do a video on the actual business side of things? Is your company an LLC? What all do you need to save for taxes and all of that? Washing is great but if you don't keep track of taxes, it will ruin you faster than you wash a house
Ill put it on the list!!
Please, what's the name of 50 50 pump up product you got good results? Thanks
F9 Groundskeeper
Can you share the link where you got the lights on your ladder rack ??
I didn’t but the lights, it came with my trailer so I’m not sure which exact light strip it is. However, any LED light strip will do
@@AustinDavis24 ok ty
What is surfactant?
what about your runoff and the clean water act? all it takes is 1 report and major fines, do you have a water reclaim system or where is your chem and water rinse going?
Good Q. No response though
how much did you pay for your trailer rig
What tips do you have on your surface cleaner?
2025
Were u worried about the wooden second story deck? I always get nervous when i work around wood
Also, how much was your rig? Love it
Maybe a little bit. It got rinsed well. Always test and pre-wet.
28k
@@AustinDavis24 in my early days, i pre wet wood and explained the bleach may clean or change it, even wetting it real good changed/cleaned it lol thank god they were happy with it, been super nervous and careful ever since
Where’d you get that trailer?
All clean power wash in waynesboro Virginia
I’m in the San Antonio Area I own my exterior cleaning business I just started it about 3 months ago made a good amount of work and some good money I wanna get better and learn more if we can ever meet up let me know I would love to pick your brain and gain some knowledge or we can hop on a call whatever works for you thank you for the great content !👍🏽🤩
I believe we’re doing a San Antonio meet up here soon with Heath felps
I'm in Houston n would be stoked for a meet up
@@christopherreier we’re doing one in San Antonio and Austin
I live in south texas and i am barely started doing pressure washing, just finished a 7000 + sq ft job site that was most concrete but i am still unsure how to charge how do you guys charge? By sq ft or and if so how much i was thinking .40 ¢ per sq ft but the job i did resulted in almost 4k$
Doesn't get any easier than that...
!!!!!
Why did you get it wet first with water them sh prolly why you had to bumb it up it’s being diluted
Why didn’t you use a degreaser? You need to use F9 DE before F9 GK… F9 is expensive product. Should use for resy jobs!
Have you heard of anyone going blind from the overspray when pressure washing?
Not yet lol
Do you use your own water ?
No he uses the client’s water.
So how is a 3 to 4 hour job at Jiffy lube 3K in price.. but a 3 hour job on home is 650? Not saying it to be an ass.. just curious how you come up with the prices.. is it JiffyLube is a large company and can afford and will pay the prices.. or.. you base it on just the size of the area you're washing down + chemicals you'll use? I ask cause I typically think the out of pocket cost for chemicals, gas, etc.. is about the same give or take a little on a 3 to 4 hour job. I can see how the house is smaller in terms of the area you're cleaning, but in terms of water/gas used, hours on the job, etc..
You don’t find 20,000 SQFT of surface work at a normal house. That’s one, two, the chemicals required to get the tires stains off are about $50/Gallon. Plus, commercial I will always charge more. More risk. You got people driving over my hoses in the parking lot. Takes 2-4 weeks to get paid. Just more a pain in the ass
Is that a monkey on the roof at 2:30 mark? Lol
Brother those clay stains are a bitch. Still no luck getting them on my last 2 jobs so I had to leave it off the bid. So is the groundskeeper your go to product or is there something you prefer to use? You seemed a bit hesitant to use it in the video but maybe I’m over analyzing 😂
Lol I used it because it’s what I had on my truck. It worked pretty well. I’m sure there is a better product though. I heard one restore or aluminum brightener is better.
@@AustinDavis24 because you're the second person to tell me about aluminum brightener i'm taking this as a sign.
@@AustinDavis24 Its the Hydrofluoric Acid in the brightener that does the trick, but can be toxic to humans. It kills red blood cells. Be wary about inhalation & misting.
@@edmontonlivermoore4935 a signal in the noise, there’s your sign.
Next time take a oring out of another hose not bring used or a gun keep picks in the glove box or driver door always
Where your original F 250 build from a year ago? You still have it?
Of course
Why don’t you just invest in some head lamps for night power washing
$680 in 3 hours? What’s wrong with you Americans?
Austin - I just finished my trailer build and website. But I am clueless on how I should optimize my website. Do you have a company you could suggest for good SEO ?
