What happened to " i have absolutelly, positevelly nothing to sell you"?
I still don’t. I’m not selling you for anybody on anything. I’m just telling people, at this point in time with how many people are reaching out to me which is several per day, if you want to get 20 or 30 minutes of solid advice from me, that’s going to be a paid transaction that way I know you’re serious and I’m not just talking to someone who either wants to prank call me or waste my time
@@AustinDavis24 fair enough!
Don’t mind any negative feedback Austin,
You do what works best for your business, you know the saying, no good deed goes unpunished,
He is just trying to weed out the time wasters, so he can help someone that legitimately wants his help.
@@topperman4541 yeah, he said that in his reply and im not even mad at that!
austin i commented year or so ago there is nothing wrong with selling something my man u give so much free advise dont let people bring you down.
Thank you!
The tanks are both labeled diesel cause that is a Diesel engine and diesel burner. Those engines by the way are WAY better than the Honda gas engines, a lot more power and will run longer than many Honda gas engines with less maintenance
Right! little Kubota engine will run forever
I absolutely agree lol when he said looks like something from the titanic I was like hey! That's a little Kubota diesel those things will outlive 5 Hondas
Nothing on your hotsy skid takes gas genius, diesel engine as YOU mentioned and the burner is diesel as EVERY other burner I've seen is..... Also your trashing the equipment your using in your video yet you don't own BETTER equipment in contrast.. Be a little more aware of your situation before speaking..
I agree with you guys, but don't put down the Honda's. Especially when you pair it with a Cat pump lol
Another great video - landed my first commercial gig for Monday. your videos has helped massively . From Ireland
How much did the equipment cost you to start up how did the first gig go
SO much value, thank you for all of the posts.
Loves the hustle, keep going at it.
Hard work pays off brother! 💪 love your content. Almost moved to your area about 10 years ago, then life changes happened. It's just pretty cool to see around town and out on the water. Always makes me wonder what would have happened moving.
✌️
Hey man
I just found out about your channel and I’m so glad I did. I love it so much 👍🏼🙏
Thanks for sharing your experience with us
Your inexperience is showing way more than your experience. Keep hustling tho.
Its so nice to watch when the man knows what to say. I love listening to a PROs. I've just started preasure washing business in Poland and you knowledge have helped me so much. Keep up great work Austin.
I took a lot of notes from your channel. Just subbed. Thank you for the information.
Excellent content Austin! THANK YOU!
Good job on weeding out the NOT SERIOUS. Keep on the good work! -JP window cleaning Houston tx
You’re awesome brother!!!!
Love the breakdown at the end, thanks!
Bro..! Thanks for sharing revenue, production and sales is nothing we learned in college. It comes with experience on the field if you lucky to have a good coach or mentor. Hopefully one day I can get to meet you, keep up with the great job and I personally thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Always appreciated the fact you stood out from all the others with nothing sell now your just following the eventual pathway all the you tubers go down.
And I’m still not selling anything. What am I suppose to accept every call and talk to thousands of people a year for 20-30 minutes at a time to help them grow their business? Over the last year and a half I’ve spent hundreds of hours talking on the phone with people watching my channel
@@AustinDavis24 I know it’s a difficult situation. Maybe answer questions through the you tube video format and don’t take questions over the phone everyone needs to understand you have a business to run. I appreciate your video content !
Awesome content Austin,
great job Austin
Awesome job and great outcome
Nice work sir!
Great video thanks again!
Good job in the video and keep it up.....
Hey Austin,
great video brother, great content. Also just want to let you know that truck is sounding good
Thank you! Did a lot of research to get the sound I liked
I see it paid off for. I like a good sounding truck bro
The rust might be coming from the sprinkler system. The system gets tested and flushed it can leave behind of powdered rust.
That diesel is one of the most reliable diesels in the industry. Kubota. Their lower end stuff is definitely trash. But that unit doesn't look too bad.
Doing great job keep going🫵🏻

Great info.

I should start charging people for all the information I help with. 🙂
Send me an invoice 😄
@@truthseeker1532 right, what's your information. Lmao... but I don't know nothing. I'm just a little guy.lol
No don't, help people, u would want help too in different areas in life
It's called consulting and it is very lucrative.
Likely run off from fire suppression system (rusty water in sprinkler system pipes) after a maintenance flush. They have to do that every so often and probably could’ve just rinsed it right off with a water hose while it was still wet. 🤷♂️
Good that you got that part too with the oil stains part. 👍
You content is literally Gold.
🥺
It’s mediocre when he rarely ever shows a full job. Just him talking non stop. Either do a page just for tips or just for jobs. Shits annoying
@@katiedanielle71511 :(
@@katiedanielle71511 you sitting on the couch and judging someone that has a work ethic and actual motivation is sad. You should stop leaving such mediocre comments and use that time to do something half as productive as Austin.
@@drewmiddlebrook9567 she leaves a comment on every video saying the same thing lmao
When you said half aren't subscribed, I checked and realized I was one. Not anymore!
I charge on the high side in my area and usually net about 30%. I once did $3500 Cad by myself in a day but it was very hard work. It is a good business for sure.
Surprisingly a local Napa store will carry an aluminum brightener has always been my go to that works same as muratic acid for rust removal and calcium but less acidic and cheaper than f9 products by a longshot..... and LA awesome has always been my go to....the bottle in video size to 3 gal bucket downstream and Bingo
On the note of people paying you for your phone time:
Some words of wisdom I gained from my mentor when I was running a self-defense training school: "no matter what you have, services or product, the one thing that is most expensive is your time. Your time is your life energy, and once it's gone you cannot get it back. so if anything, your time should be the most costly."
Anyone who is expecting professional advice and counselling should expect to pay for it.
lol exactly
Doesn’t happen over night, Consistently grinding. I get so many IG messages same thing 😂
10 years later started at 22 the biggest in my province in Canada.. keep it up bud
Sitting here watching your vids when I should be practicing for my interview in 30mins lol can you tell where my passion is? 😅
Looks like your passion is steering you towards wanting to work for yourself!
Yes Sr, bought me a Champion Pro 4200 PSI 4Gal/min flow and getting ready to put it to use! By the way way I’m from San Antonio,Tx!
Gold assassin degreaser is great. You should try green beast degreaser.
Thank you.Great info
Do you have a formula on other cost and how to factor cost in
Like for: insurance,wear and tear on equipment, misc parts cost
Advertising cost.
I think you do this business right and appreciate your youtube page.
You are, in my opinion, the best.
Lol. Its because its a diesel engine and diesel burner. And that kubota engine is waaaay better than a gas Honda. Will last 10x longer with less maintenance and more power and torque.
Where do you get those custom shirts made at? What kind of material are they? Thanks you for the videos I’m learning a lot from you and I appreciate the content
Actually Austin, that's a Kubota engine. Those things run forever with very little problems. They are also very very fuel efficient.
That's a 2 cylinder diesel engine, and diesel burner. So it is labeled correctly. That little engine puts out more torque then 3 Honda engines.
The amount of angry comments over charging for your time is insane. Guys if you have questions that are that serious go look through his channel. I’d put money on he’s already answered it at some point. This guy has put out so many helpful videos.
This is true. Most answers you can find for free if you take the time to look.
Diesel eats gas every time my guy. If you want a long lasting powerful engine you go diesel 100% of the time.
The rust color could be flame retardent, similar to what they use for forest fires helecopters and planes.
How you doing, Austin? I wanna know if you can breakdown how you quoted that. job.
I don't have a hot water system and I'm just starting out. I tried mixing Gold Assassin pretty hot 2:1, scrubbed and let it sit for about an hour. I still didn't see a difference have I pressure washed it off. Is hot water the only way to remove these oil stains? I have another question. I have a 20 inch Simpson surface cleaner. Can I use this surface cleaner with hot water or do I need a surface cleaner specifically for hot water?
Hi I love your videos hehe
I have a question where you buy chemical safe or proof shirts ?
Do you have to use spill berms on any jobs?or have to work open places with traffic
You've inspired me so much, brother
Happy Fourth of July man, thank you for watching!
What’s your mixture when you do house washes and deck cleaning?
That is a Kubota diesel engine it is very powerful and reliable the engine and the heating unit both run on diesel the machine is built to last
6:10 you’re allowed to brag. You’ve earned that right
Hey, if you did use chemical wouldnt you have to recover the runoff? Did you have a plan for that? Thanks
@austindavis24 How do you handle the dirty runoff water on a job like that with multiple floors on the garage? I'd imagine it would stain the sides of the building?
That seems like a lot of work. How much did you charge for this job?
Like the Joker said "if you're good at something, never do it for free"
Hey Austin, you didn't need a water recovery system for this job?
Cool
I'm just getting started. What SH do you use?
DO U SPRAY THE DIRTY WATER TO THE DRAIN OR HOW DOES THE DIRT OR OIL GO TO?
nothing wrong with those older diesels, diesel tech on simple engines hasn't changed much in the last 70 years. The math need some work though ;), i get to 1365 on costs.
Hi Austin,
Question: I had to removed an engine oil spill from a concrete driveway that was sitting for 3 days. I used F9 double eagle degreaser but with cold water. I got a whole bunch of the oil to come off but it still has a ligh mark where the oil spilled. Would the gold assassin and hot water take off more from the concrete? Or is that going to be expected due to the nature of concrete absorbing the oil?
The client was very happy I got a lot of the oil off. I just wanted to know if i could have done more.
Thanks
I wouldn’t use BARC (Battery Acid Restoration Cleaner). It’s meant for battery acid and rust staining on concrete. Use a degreaser like gold assassin and hot water. Concrete is porous so you’ll never be able to get it all up without removing material.
It’s great that your customer is happy and that’s all that matters, but to answer your question, yes there’s a lot more you could have done. 1 Being correct chemical 2 being hot water. Again, if your customer is happy, you did fine. You’ll grow and learn. I would keep a cheat sheet in your truck that tells you what chemicals to use for what types of staining.
@@TaylorTheCre8or
Hi Samuel,
My mistake, I used the F9 double eagle degreaser to remove the oil. Not the F9 barc. Again, the only noticeable sign was a light shadow mark were the oil spilled. Yes concrete is porous so it will happen. I explained it to the customer and set the expectation. Again, she was happy that the heavy brown oil was gone. I have to try out that golden assassin and rent a hot water unit for oil spills.
Well, this is how I cleaned it without a hot water unit. I filled up two 5 gallon bucket with very hot water from the clients house. I poured one hot bucket onto the oil spill with the F9 degreaser. I scrubbed and waited for 15 minutes. Turbo nozzle the first coat off. I apllied a second coat of hot water, f9 and scrubbed. Waited for another 15 minutes. Then I used my cold water surface cleaner to remove the second application. It looked great. I just wanted to make sure I did enough to get it off.
Thanks for your input. Always learning something new in this business. A lot of great help from the TH-cam channel.
Thank you 😊
@@michaelc7283 ahhh see that changes some things. As far as I’m concerned the only thing you could have done would be just a different degreaser (I would try a few til you find one you like) and having an actual hot water unit.
They do make sweeping compound which can help get up fresh oil but that probably wouldn’t have done much in THIS case (but can work, ZEP makes a decently cheap bag). You could also learn about the chemistry behind oil cleanups (if you haven’t already) and the cleanup techniques in OTHER industries (think industrial, janitorial etc). You can soak up oil, you can blow/rinse off oil (especially with degreaser), you can make the droplets smaller, you can remove host material, hell they even make microbes that eat oil.
Sounds like you’re definitely on the right track, and given your setup it sounds like you did an amazing job for your client! (EDIT: you also will have a lot of situations where you won’t be able to get everything up!)
I’m still new to this business as well, but I’m coming from a successful janitorial business and adding this on as a second company to fill up our days. I built a dual 11gpm trailer and have a couple employees working for me off the bat so I have time to figure stuff like this out. Keep doing what you’re doing brother and wash on!
@@TaylorTheCre8or
Thank you 😊
good rig for a side hustler?
Diesel engine with a diesel fired burner, hence diesel/diesel fuel tanks.
Do you ever used a squeegee to pull water to drain?
How did you bid the garage? And how would you bid to wash an entire parking garage, lets say 543,00 SQ ft
what brush is the one you used in the beginning
i do wonder if you surface cleaner the whole floor?
thee engine on that unit is a diesel by the way so no gas needed.
Get you some sodium hydroxide beads for grease . Works better and much more cost effective. Or keep using gold assassin
I love ur content but that diesel looks like a Cabota engine. Diesel will always out last and perform better then any gas engine if both engines were taken care of the same way.
What video editor do you use?
What size trailer is that ?
Is that a separate camera on your truck or did you just put your tailgate down to get that camera angle on the hitch
There is a camera on the tailgate to aid with trailers! It’s a new Silverado
@@AustinDavis24 my 2015 Silverado has a camera in the tailgate too (in the bezel for the handle to be specific) but it doesn’t get that straight down looking angle, maybe if I let the tailgate down though.
Where could I get that shirt?
Where did u get the shirts?
What happened to all the dirty water? Did they have gutters on the sides and drains in the floor?
They wanted it to go down their drains which led into the retention pond that they had put back
They’re both labeled diesel because they’re both diesel lol sounds like the rental company didn’t do any kind of walk around and that kabota diesel will out last any Honda and that’s a modern small diesel
So your just spot cleaning?
What about Landa?
Where do i rent this?
Lol you shit on the hot water engine but it did have 1k hours on it lol
Lol true
what was the gpm of that old hot water machine
5GPM
Want to know if you have time to give guidance and advice
Book a call with me brother
It is a shop ain’t it bro we have the same shop to
cool video ! less talking
Are you still doing this ?
I’m going with 2000
Set set set set expectations or get bad reviews
I’ll say the job was quoted at about $2,800
So freaking close!!!
Did you join up with the (core four) ???? $$$$$$$$$$$$
Fuck that
your 20 min call link isn't working
Try refreshing it. It works for me and other people.
The customer is going to be very happy when their bill is deeply discounted to allow them to share in the savings created by your mistakes. ……You are planning to take care of your customer, right? It would be great to be able to bill them less regardless of the reason, but you admitted multiple times that the pro they called and trusted screwed up. They aren’t entitled to any savings, but now is when we find out whether you’re going to be a long term, successful business owner or not. If you billed them the full amount, enjoy your success now, because it’s not going to last.
There is so many things wrong with this comment lol
@@AustinDavis24 Okay. It’s your business and you can run it however you want. I’d never do cleaning business with you, but I love your videos and I’ve learned a lot from them (I’m not in the pressure washing business, but I’m in the trucking business and I wash trucks on the side). Thank you for the content. I look forward to watching more.
@Austin Davis He is telling you to keep sheering the sheep instead of eating it. You get to eat it once, but sheer it many times over.
Honda is good but can't compare to that set up. Just because it doesn't look fancy doesn't mean its cheap or not as good... actually its way better and will last a long long time. Both of those tanks are diesel because its a diesel engine and only a diesel engine.
$3100 is wayyyyy too low
I get getting paid for your time and advise...but dude...$75 for 20 minutes? That's insane. Maybe $30 but not 75. At 30 you'd still be making 90 bucks an hour to talk on the phone.
I came up with that number by actually doing the math on what my actual income is on an hourly basis when you divide it up monthly and yearly. And I came up with that number at the time. And actually it should be more. I’m giving you guys the hook up.
how much did the hot water unit cost to rent if you rented it
i talked about this at the end of the video!
never mind I didn't watch the full vid
@@pwashvet he said it in beginning like 4 times pay attention
