I cant express how much i appreciate ur honesty on everything..! Ur honest helps me feel like im learning going along with u on ur journey of learning..! Great content and very informative
Hey Sean, great vid again, glad your enjoying your machine. Yep always do the high stuff first so you don’t have to repeat your cleaning on the deck. Only tip I would have for your deck cleaning because I mainly do decks back in the UK is do each length in 1 so you don’t get those wand marks left on the decking which don’t tend to come out when dried and show up more so when you add the clear staining. It might be just the video showing the wand marks as I did notice you kept your lance at a good distance from the wood, but I rarely go over 100-110 bar on wood as you will break down the wooden fibres. P S get yourself a 1 litre spray bottle with your batch mix in to do your test patch, do it that way to keep it more controlled and saves dragging all your equipment to that area… keep up the good work pal 👍👌
You're a lot braver than I am on spot testing. I have a spray bottle I use on a very small area in case anything goes wrong so I don't have to repaint a large area. You should be looking to see if it splotches up, or changes colors. It will do it almost right away when you hit it, but I do let my test areas sit for a few minutes just to make sure. I think it is mostly the Sherwin Williams tree hugger paints that do this.
Good to know!, Yeah, to be completely honest that was my first time doing a test spot lol I have ruined a few front doors that were painted so now I pay attention. What I’m gonna start doing is spraying the house mix that I’m going to use on the ground and then dipping my finger in it and touching that to the paint, like a smaller area lol
@@AmericanOutdoorServices120 I appreciate it, man, someone else mentioned that as well. It’s hard to tell by the video, but the whole rig was on a slight grade, so it’s reading wrong. But thank you!
Why don't you get the suttner gun with the trigger lock? It shuts off when you pull the trigger and you have to lock it with 2 hands until you get used to 1 hand operation!
Excellent video. You have definitely made me a subscriber. I also watch the fresh rinse. He is the man. I have a question though. After using the house, wash mix on the deck, then using pressure to clean it.Did you notice if the deck had a white chalky look to it afterward After using the house, wash mix on the deck, then using pressure to clean it. Did you notice if the deck had a white chalky look to it afterward? It seems like I have run into that problem on the last couple of decks that I have done.
I love Mike! Yes, i have found that white chalky look as well. That is from the bleach. The bleach will fade the wood unfortunatly, but in return it cleans it extremely well. it is a give and take. the method to combat that is to use Oxalic acid after you bleach, it restores that natural wood color. I am actually going to start implementing that into my method. hope that helps
Keep the videos coming love to see the grow of the business in the videos. Question pre treat and post treatment on the concrete you just down stream? You don't put a higher percentage?
Yes, I just downstream a housewife mix around one percent, I see a lot of guys using 3-4% and honestly, I will have to respectfully disagree. I have never had any issues just using one percent, the key for me is dwelltime! As soon as I get to a house wash where I’m going to do the driveway, I’ll lay down a house wash mix on the driveway and it will sit there for about an hour before I even touch the driveway, that really loosens everything up, and then obviously when I post it stays on there indefinitely until the rain gets It, that works for me sorry for the long message
I was that guy putting down 4% pre and 2% post but I have a house and driveway wash this Thursday and I will try this method. Thanks for the explanation. Well detailed
Look into the J-Rod so you don't have to run back and forth to the rig so much. Another great channel to learn from is SuperBlast Pressure washing. He uses the J-Rod on all his house washes.
@@WeberPowerWashing i've seen people running the m5 twist for downstreaming and then the xjet tip for rinsing! haven't tried it myself but just throwing ideas!
At the end of the video you said you’ll learn the 8gpm, what caused those stripes??? Was it because you moved to slow and it edged the concrete. Keep it up!!
It was because I ran over the same areas twice, but I was just overthinking it! At the end of the video you can see after I post treated everything and it dried. It looks perfect.🙏🏼
Nice video. Maybe it is my eyes but it looked like the pump oil level was low on the 8-gallon machine. Looked like it was way below the red dot but if it was just my eyes I apologize.. Yes and I have the flow pro and it is a game changer...
No honestly man, i think youre right. I may have a small oil leak on this pump. - Good eye!! thank you for calling that out, it has been a concern of mine
Hey Sean, curious why you don't have your trailer or truck letter with your company info? Liability reason? Just getting started myself and I would think you'd want the neighbors driving by to know who you are
1. I am cheap ( got it priced out but it wasnt in the budget this year) 2. I do kind of like the ability to be unknown ( helps with road rage 😭) I put out signs when i work so people can know who I am when i. am doing the thing
Got a question maybe you guys can help me with this. Are you having to adjust your pressure regulator for every job. Example being adjusting down for a housewash then having to adjust again on the same job to clean the driveway. This is what I'm doing but don't know if there's a easier way. Thanks
I can't speak for everybody but that is exactly what I do as well. I have an 8gpm 3500 psi machine. when I wash a house, I set the PSI at 2800-2900 (i have an inline pressure gauge), when I do concrete, I will bump it back up to around 3200. I try to keep my psi under 3500 as in even when you let off the trigger and it jumps. I try to keep that jump under or around 3500. YOu have to be careful tho, if you run the machine too high you can do catastrophic damage. my dealer warned me against touching the unloader. it is user discretion
@@WeberPowerWashing I just got in the business and had this same question. You set your unloader for the maximum pressure of your machine or a little less. From there the orface size of your tips dictates your pressure. For example I wanted to lower the psi on my surface cleaner so I wouldn’t etch concrete going from about 3500psi down to 2500psi. I used a chart and the gpm of my machine to determine I needed a slightly larger tip. If you go from your surface cleaner running about 2500-3500 psi and want to soft wash you just connect your m5 twist tip or shooter tip and don’t touch the unloader. If you’re getting slightly to much psi you can throttle down your machine. I’m softwashing with the m5 twist 8gpm machine at about 3/4 throttle maybe a little less. You’re always going to have the same gpm but your pressure changes with the tip you use. That’s my understanding.
Ok Sean I got a 4 1/2 GPM and it kicks arse. Now u got the 8. Now bear in mind I do houses and some concrete work. Is the 8 worth the massive amount of money. Do u see that much difference in time. Is it the game changer every one keeps on about. I can do a standard two story house in like 40 mins to 1 hour?
GOOD QUESTION - it just depends on your work load, if youre doing a few houses a day then its worth it i would argue. I will say FLAT WORK is where the higher GPM shines, bro you wont believe how fast you can do driveways and such. Houses it is most definitely a game changer as well. But you can do a shit ton of work with a 4 gpm, that is a fact. My advice would be stick with the 4 until you are literally losing business because you cant keep up. hope that helps..
@@WeberPowerWashing very big help I live in Canada the average price for a small house is around 475. So or else am doing 5 a day what works out to 2500 to 3 grand then I think it’s all good thanks for the truth. Every one else ask just says no brainer lol
Hello. My name is Fernando. Very. good. videos. You have. I have watched your videos. Thank you very much. for. sharing. your. knowledge. ..... one. question. How much. have you invested. in. your washing equipment. Your equipment is very. good. and useful. for washing. Many blessings. 👍
You’re a deck!! That being said have you figured out google ads yet? Also how has business been? I assume good since you upgraded to the 8 gpm congrats bro
They are too expensive for me! Business has been good without it. I was getting work with google ads but my profit margins weren’t much better than just organic SEO. I ended up working harder for same $

i appreciate that man, thank you so much. i appreciate YOU
I could be wrong, but double check that site glass on your pump. It should be level with the dot. It should not be full. That would be overfilling it.

not a bad idea! i havent seen that gun yet, thanks for that

The longer your pressure hose the more water is gonna dilute the SH from the injector keep that in mind buddy! Love your content

For a test spot I usually dip a q-tip straight into the SH and let it sit. That way if it does mess up the paint then it only messes up a tiny spot.
i like that! i did that in my most recent video after you said this, thanks
It looks like someone hit that deck with some pressure
Nice trailer. Do you have a spot for SH? Maybe I missed it

Best investment I’ve made so far is 8gpm. Second best is a flowpro.

Use your X-jet attachment to turn the ball off in your DS injector so you don't have to walk back to your truck
eh I don't mind walking
SH or pressure doesn't mess with the clear coat?
it does, but we are actually going to restain this deck with clear coat again
what size trailer is that?
5 x 10 baby
I believe you're looking for the paint to turn colors....green or pink.....
