Anyone have any suggestions on removing loose paint? I figured TSP, bleach, hot water? Its on a brick home. She said half was newly paint and she wants that clean. The other half is going to be painted next week. Any input would be appreciated!

Opinions on this unit please.
RGilliam replied to Rick2's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Looks like its been beat to death. I see the filter in that one picture, it looks like thats broke in half. Im careful purchasing used stuff, especially if I cant hear it run, honestly you can probably keep looking and find a better deal. -
8 GPM COLD vs. 5.6 GPM HOT!! ?
RGilliam replied to White WASH's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
I guess it depends on what you do. We wash trucks, we run all 8gpm skids. As far as brands, there is alot of good ones out there, hydrotek, landa, hotsy, largo, pressure pro, and the list goes on and on. I currently have a couple Tuff PWs, a hydrotek, Landa, and some others I put together. All have held up pretty well. I know alot of guys buy pressure pros. I think they are a little cheaper than most. Hotsy and Landa are pretty expensive. My hydrotek has ran like a tank. If your on a tight budget you may want to look for something used. Especially right now, alot of people trying to sell stuff for extra Christmas money. -
The company I have workers comp threw asked if I done roofs, said they didnt do workers comp for companies that cleaned roofs. Originally I tried the pay as you go workers comp threw quickbooks, er hartford institute, whatever it is, and they said they didnt do workers comp for anyone that washed trucks. crazy..

Two stepping is a method we use to clean trucks. Its applying an acid. then apply a soap over top of it. Then its like a magic trick,....now you see the dirt....now you dont! waaa laaa! maybe watch one of my videos. its really simple. you just have to be careful with the acid.

What water filter to buy. Help
RGilliam replied to morfeo's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
banjo is what I use. I use all banjo fittings actually. -
unless of course you ever build it into something then decide you want to sell it. then bob wouldnt want steves pressure washing service. I think using your name is a bad idea. I'd love to change my company name....What is going to be your main focus of business? Residential Commercial? Fleets,? I'd try to find a good name that sets your apart from everyone else.
