    Keep up the great work and videos. I love to see a humble pressure washer on UA-cam. Most pressure washing You Tubers want to sell you training or they are cocky as hell or think they know everything. Keep washing and making that money.

    Best one yet. Wow. You gave me confidence that I can wash a house alone. I usually have my son come help but now I know I can do it alone. Want to ask how you store people information after the job or do you for future call backs for repeat service. Lastly I about died laughing when you spun around to the tripod. I was like wow Joe got a tripod then when you showed it. Hahhaha. Love it! Thank you

    Hey Joe. Another great video. Good advice on the marketing. I was wondering your age. I'm 11 years your senior and just really starting out. I've copied your truck layout almost to the nut and bolts except in the truck itself. I have the GMC version. It seems to be working out real good. All the weight up front so it spreads out the weight more evenly. Your videos inspired me to biuld it that way. Made a lot of sense and I'm a mechanic by trade now. Thanks again and keep the videos coming. They take a bunch of time to do but it's appreciated.
    Wash-on....👍

    Hello from East Lansing, Michigan. Great videos, I like that you are all about the wash and not trying to constantly sell us products or to join paid power washing groups/school etc. Keep it up!! Question, you mentioned that you used to run a 2.5 GPM power washer in your video. I have a 2.5 power washer from Lowes that I am running, trying to build my side business of power washing, I just got a nice 100 foot hose and now I am not drawing a lot of soap . I assume I am using to long of a hose because my 50 foot hose or my combo 75 foot hose pulls a lot more soap. Is there an easy fix to pull more soap with 100 feet of hose or do I need to upgrade to a 4GPM to be able to use the longer hoses? Would a down stream injector help, I am just using the soap injector built into the machine (with a siphon hose to a 5 gal bucket). Anything would help power washing world. Thanks!

      Try using a 100ft 3/8" hose. Has less friction and you can adapt it to your 2.5 pump. And if you get a larger machine you'll already have another chunk of hose. I was getting soap from my 2.5 gpm 3100lb pump (use as a back-up) with the built-in injector. Try it, nothing to lose.....
