Preach it brotha!
Overrated? Id say completely underrated. This is IMO the best nozzle in our industry.
Paired with the DST its perfect.
I would recommend property protection. Taping off outlets, ring cameras, maybe plastic hair nets around security cames you can reach by foot and internet boxes and hvac electrical box. Customer's really appreciate that extra added value to insure no damage is done. Im new in business as well and cant say how many times a Customer appreciates property protection. Keep grinding man. Austin Davis put together a very affordable program as well. To learn about marketing, equipment and in depth with a business. Highly recommend and also comes with a Facebook group for members only.
Yeah, since this video was recorded (8/21/23), I’ve started taping everything off for sure! Thank you man! Austin is great!
We dont tape anything off unless it looks sketchy brother use your judgment the more you do the better you will be able to tell what needs to be covered or not ....once you get busy taping every outlet and whatnot wont be realistic ....also beware of what you put tape on you can do more damage than good
I love how u keep it real /simple and honest. I pray God continues to bless u my friend. Keep hustling buddy..!
Thank you Danny! That means a lot! When I started watching videos about pressure washing, I noticed too many people were trying to sell you something. I just wanted to come on here and just be me. Thanks for your support 💪✅
I’m looking forward to watching you and your business grow. Thank you for posting your videos.
Thank you Thomas! I hope you crush all your goals too! Appreciate your encouragement 💪
,👍💯 that attitude and mind set will take u far.
God bless
Oh, nice vid.
God bless you as well, thank you for the encouragement 💪❤️
Joe Allen, hey brother I keep a drive way squeegee in my truck to push water out of dips in the driveways.
Good to see you’re kicking butt out there.
Yeah I need to do that for sure. I ended up grabbing a bucket and scooping most of it out. Thank you though for the advice! 💪💪💪
You can always use a leaf blower for them puddles 🤘
Yeah, I need to get a good one! Or a sludge pump
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you! 💪❤️
Good video big guy ....post hole digger and a sludge sucker for those low spots take one chunk on the lowest point suck water out then replace chunk of dirt
What wand/handle are you using. That smaller one seems so much easier with the XJet. Thanks
It’s a BE gun from my local pressure washing store.
Like the twist... That being said keep the spray pattern wide and still stand back a little, as it puts out more pressure than a soft wash gun.
Your gaining momentum, leaving for a week will slow it down a little maybe run a FB ad while your gone..
Doing a digital estimate is not as good as in person, but at least your going to the property to see it. That's what I do. I just tell them, I'll stop by in a day or two and look it over and get back to you via email/FB or however they contacted me. Then I tell them so Please let you neighbors know if they see a weirdo in your back yard it's just me.... Or something like that to kind of break down the wall a little.
It lets them know I'll be there and that they don't need to be there and I realize that people may see me be watching me, so no funny business....
Yeah that’s good stuff man! I don’t prefer digital estimates at all. There’s always something unexpected when you start the job. Thank you for watching 💪
U will prosper god bless you bro I’m happy for your business
Thank you so much! Bless you ❤️💪
I have picked up used washers for my cleaning bisness.
Heck yeah! I’m never buying new
@@joeallenpressurewashing I started on used equipment, I agree to an extent. After a few months of issue with my 2 used machines i bought a brand new 5.5gpm belt drive machine for $1750 shipped. 4 years later I'm just taking it off my flatbed original everything. Now I have a 18.5gpm machine. I definitely wouldn't buy used soft wash equipment. BTW yes M5 is amazing. Also man start taping them outlets and door handles where the key goes. Always looks good to go above and beyond.
tell us how to mix SH in a five gallon bucket with surfactant?
I don’t mix it anymore. I put my suction hose into straight 10.5% SH. Haven’t been using surfactant either, but I’m probably going to start using it again.
Отличные мысли и хорошая работа.
Thank you ❤️💪
Hi Joe, are you concerned about protecting the plants and grass more? Good video.
I am concerned around more frail and sensitive plants. Grass not so much. I put way more water of the grass than chemical. I rinse a ton.
Good video! When first starting what insurance did you use? Quotes i got in Florida seem expensive. Thanks
I honestly just got insurance a month ago through Heritage. $75/mo for 1m coverage
whats the best way to pressure wash vynl siding without a down stream or xjet? is there a better option for a nozzle on the end of a pressure washer?
Downstream is the best. You can use a pump sprayer if you don’t have that.
are you going to bypass to a buffer tank?
I need to for sure! I’m getting a trailer soon, so I will be doing a buffer tank most likely!
Does the m5 pull chemical depending on how you adjust it. Thanks for your vids
Yes it does. M5 twist with a shooter tip is better then switching back n forth with a jrod
It always pulls chemical ✅ You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoy them 💪
Hey brother how are you switching between the SH and just water with the M5 twist?
I use a drop stick that I put in and out of my chem tank.
can you tell me what dilution you used to hit that green patch at he bottom of the wall?
House mix via Downstreaming, then I went back with spray bottle with about 4% in it.
Thank you. That makes sense as 2% would never shift that here in Ireland.
Seems like rinsing with a ball valve when you don’t have the volume seems slow with the 4 gallon. Would using the gun to increase pressure be better? Any thoughts?
4 GPM is plenty to rinse ball valve or gun. Anything under 3 GPM would be a dramatic difference in “rinse time”
I’ve rinsed with both. Mostly just rinse with the m5. Compared to a 2.5gpm, it’s a monster. Which I’m sure is the same when you step up to a 5.5 or 8.
It works well for me now. I’m not too concerned with being the fastest washer, just want to do the best job possible.
Increasing pressure with a pressure nozzle decreases the flow. Less pressure at the nozzle means more water, and it also allows the water to pool up and carry the mud away. Whereas high pressure can mean it just bounces off the surface. Took me a long time and a lot of wasted hours to figure that one out.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing that! 💪
Would a small wet vac and a separate barrel for “dirty water” be useful when there are large dips like that? It would look more professional not leaving the customers drive way with puddles. Just my opinion.
Not a bad idea. I’ve seen different things I would consider using. There is an attachment you and put at the end of the gun that is like a sludge pump.
Yeah just a thought. It’s probably not too common for giant puddles to form but for the 1/20 houses it would be nice. Especially if they have pets or children. Safety is a huge +
Yeah no doubt! Thank you man! 💪
I’ve been doing this for years and have always debated getting a sludge sucker for muddy puddles in low spots. But I’ve been able to get away with a turbo nozzle and blow it out in the yard. If the puddle is large enough it will take a few passes and some extra time but it has always worked as a turbo nozzle works great at moving large puddles. I use a 5.5gpm which might help a bit more than a 4
