Can one have too many generators? Links to guides and podcast are in description box!
I use a 2000 watt generator. It’s all about technique and skill. You don’t have to run everything at the same time. Honestly, a lot of detailers simply have too much equipment.
Can you run an electric power washer with it?
hey you think i can run my 1900 pressure washer with a 2000 watt generator?
I have a 1700 watt and it wouldn’t even run my power washer or my steamer seperate
@@codydalton9553 1700 starting watts is even less running watts and most steamers will require at least 1750+ watts running. You'd be maxing it out though. Just get a 3000+
Time is money for some of us..
I thank you for your dedication and wisdom brother. You were the guide to helping me start my detailing business. I am praying for you to expand and maybe some day franchise here in Tyler,Tx. Or offer a hands on training class with you. Thanks again
I like what you said in your other video about the push and pull. It will solve one thing but it highlights other problems. Business always gives you a chance to upgrade if you are investing in it 💕 another great video Oscar Thanks 💐🌹🌹
Can you do a video on how you maintain them? Or what your general maintenance schedule would be for them ? Thank you.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I would love to invest in a generator at some point and am always curious as to which one to buy that can handle all the needs.
10:53 thank you for that tip on how to bring the heavy generator up . I want to start a small business like this to . This is the third video I see on tips thank you for sharing.
I need lots of help.
Your video was really reassuring Homie 🙌 good looks 🔥
I go with the detail geeks process: extract then steam. Make note of anything you need to come back to with the steamer. It’s not perfect but it’s practical.
So what is the best generator inverter to start a mobile wash from your own personal suv , keeping it minimal and effective
I have a conventional generator is it better just to go inverter considering the quiet part? I currently have a 7500 watt generac generator..
I enjoy all your info thanks for sharing
yay videos on detailing recently, finally
Good breakdown. Only thing to add is the starting or surge watts needed to turn a unit on is just as or even more important than running watts. Let’s say the running watts needed for your air comp is 1500. Cool so you buy the predator 3500. Come to find out it takes 4500 peak watts to start the damn thing.
I just bought a mytee 8070, how many watts capacity generator do u recommend? Only for the mytee???
Great video broo
Wat generator should i buy To Start work
Thanks a lot
How are you grounding the generator?
Quick question, I have been shopping around for a garage keeper policy to protect me as a detailer and I've been finding rates that basically break down to anywhere from 80 to $120 a month. Do you have a company that you recommend that has proven to be worthwhile and if so can you give me the name of the company to call and see if I can get a quote? Thanks a million for your help as I have become addicted to your videos in a very good way! LOL.
Thank you bro! I just ran into an issue where a client only had one outlet available and my steamer kept popping it 😂 what should have took me an hour took 3… plus there was a ton of bees 🐝 getting a compressor
This came at just the right time. Looking to pull the trigger on a predator generator this week! - Thomas Lightfoot
I have the Honda EU30is, brilliant.
I have a Predator 9000 Watt Gas Powered Portable Generator and no regrets!
What do u use it for? Are You @ mobil detailer or something like that? Tnx
Good morning from Nigeria,
I like the way you choose topics for us, ever since I started following you on TH-cam I have learnt a lot,
Am ready to kick start.
Can you help me with list of tools that I need,
So as to start making pouches,
Thanks.
Do you run the generator from the van or do you take it out each time. I just bought one to install in a trailer and looking for the best way to set it up
We want to have the generator on a skid to pull it out when on. For now, stays in the van in the back
Thanks for the info big dog
Are the generators at Costco good for mobile detailing?
Can you run a shop vac off of the 2000
I started following you lastweek after following everything about detailing for my own car. I watched many videos so far. I love you're content! I need a foam cannon but I ain't trying to spend that much for one. Which one would you recommend?
Go to Amazon
Budget friendly but effective weirran foam cannon &35
Middle of the road but highly effective Griots Brilliant Finish Foam Cannon $60
For pure asthetic performance MTM $90
Also your pressure washer effects the performance also which can be altered to better suit your set up.
@@Youknowitbby thanks andre
@@JulietActual no problem I was once in your shoes, feel free to ask about any concerns if necessary 🙏
Have the same predator 2000 and I bought a water pump and my power surges because I’m about 5 running watts over 1600 so it’s back to the drawing board 🤦🏻♂️ might have to get a 12v pump and small battery
question. do you have to recharge a generator?
how about using all battery supply ?
As an electrician, we know that anything with a heating element will always pull more amperage. It just takes more power to generate heat. You could probably run the vacuum at the same time as the power washer, and or polishers etc.
How’s it going bro could you do a video on how to clean a headliner and the ways you do so
Spray APC on a towel and use it to wipe the headliner.
Carpet cleaning wipes
Do you have to ground the generator before every single use?
no
can you turn on such a generator in your bus while driving it? I have a freezer that sometimes needs to be turned on while on the road.
Would need to reroute exhaust but yes
Dude, I think what you should mention that when you’re first starting it’s only you and you can’t run or don’t need to run all things at the same time…
I would consider the Westinghouse 3700 inverter generator…
Great video though.
I have a Sportsman Generator 4000 watt super loud… and I have a 9500 predator that can run my entire house but now ideal if you are just starting and maybe working out of a sedan or a mall van, SUV.
Do you ever run into issues with noise while detailing in neighborhoods or office parks?
@@10CPS
Honestly I stopped doing mobile detailing as I am a woodworker.
I now have an inverter.
And no I never got a complain from anyone, I think most people understand you’re just doing a job. I also did carpet cleaning about 15 years ago and people really don’t complain. I think an inverter is more of a “be considerate of others” type thing.
So the 5,000 watt predator generator won't run everything. Because I need to get me a new generator and I was just wondering.If the 5000 watt will do it. I'll be running pressure washer water pump Shop-Vac and a steamer and air compressor. I was looking at that inverter 5,000 Watts ultra quiet.
The 3500 trend is straight up dumb. But a trend is a trend until ppl wise up. I understand watts and consumption. My first was a 5300 watts and its the minimum that is needed for everything I run with my team.
Would 1500 watts work?
I have the new 9500 predator inverter and I can run the hp60 mytee , steamer and vac . Or steamer vac and air compressor . Hope that helps anyone wondering if they want to get the 9500 . I'll upgrade to honda version when possible
yep... the 3500 trend doesn't work is you run a lot of stuff
Do you ever run into issues with noise while detailing in neighborhoods or office parks?
How’s that 9500 holding up after 2 years. I’m still stuck on if I should pull the trigger due to reliability issues and the hassle of returning until getting the reliable one
@Avvmedia I actually got a new one due to the warranty going out . But the last one was still strong and had no problems . I used it every day and had 3k hours on it when i turned it in. For business, it's worth it because of the warranty. Basically, I pay 800 every 2 years to have a new one. And it's as simple of going in store and trading it . I had a Honda with under 1k hours, and the seals went bad in it. To have the warranty work on the Honda they had to send it through home depot which took them over a month. They changed the oil and said it was fine . That's when I did the change to harbor freight . I know Hondas are good, and maybe mine was defective but the hassle was what did it for me
@10CPS no it's quiet enough not to disturb. I never had an issue since I don't really work at night.
I have my own process and need a steamer & compressor running altogether
First coment!! Thank for all of this!!
Did you have to ground your generator?
Isn't it dangerous to haul a generator in your vehicle? Someone please explain
Buddy of mine is a Generac tech, his go to rig is a predator. According to him, they’re made to the same quality as Honda.
So, fellow detailers, proceed with confidence.
They get returned on the daily at my local harbor freight 😉
@@richardvillanueva8786 guess you don't know most people buy and return stuff for one time use
@@cordovaholdings7269 Thanks for the assumption 😉🤙
@@richardvillanueva8786 thanks for the misinformation
@@cordovaholdings7269 you a whole clown 🤡😂
Harbor freight keyboard warriors 🤓
I use the predator 2000 works good
What pressure washer?
Loud af tho
6:30
Me right now
Generator took a 💩 on me today
Looking for a new one

Saludos Dios te bendiga mucho q vacum Cleanes es mejor para Detailing
Plz run the generator
2000 watts is nothing . 3500 watts also isn’t enough if your using it for “job/work” projects . Save yourself the hassle or having to upgrade later down the road . I wouldn’t get anything under 6500 watts . 6000 continuous watts . I have a welder generator . I do mobile welding . Slightly getting into mobile pressure washing . You can run chop saws, MiG welders, electrical pressure washers depending on the size . People running things at the same time is 4 out of 10 . I run jobs with 3 guys with me sometimes and we never run stuff at the same time. Now there are occasions . But ya . Just some insight from another guy. Good luck guys
Besides (it's petty) but you're stealing power with someone else's outlet unless it's a client. Not a good look upsetting apartment/office complexes you plan n returning to and gaining more business.
(Fast and Furious) this fool is using (driving) a Honda 2000 ha ha sorry Oscar, I had to bro.
Get to the point
Such an unprepared video hahaha
Oh you think any of my videos are prepared? 👀
For every one 🤚solution, there are five ✋ problems.
I’d rather have someone talk to me in real time than to give me an acted out, rehearsed power point presentation
Honestly your videos are very informative, but your dialogue is all over the place. Maybe you need to write a script and read off of it. You have a lot of blank moments where it seems like your having a brain freeze. I try to follow you but I get frustrated and leave.
Thanks for the feedback
