house wax

[gutterdog 14]

This is an add on,to a house wash, For about a month now I've been pondering.

??? A cup full is all that is added to wash mix??? 5 Gallons? How is it that my cleaning mix contains sodium hydroclorite, butal, hydrochloride, water softeners, spot reducers, other stuff and leave a wax finish, if added?

Is that right?

Please dont tell me what you read cause I prob read it too!!!

Not being smart to noone.

Is this something I have to figure out on my own?

Here is a thought!!! Could charge extra for it!!! Do the house wash, and then go around the house and do the wax!!??

from experience, anyone that has had happy stuff from the customer. "oh its never looked so good!". That kinda responses. Adding the wax? Leave it here in the house wax thread!

Came back to say this. We as washers, Know the difference, with the cleaning we do. we see every part get clean. Does the customer notice the difference? Not in the cleaning, but the wax?

Thats the SELL! The premium house wash service!

The wax and all.

I wonder If I have some people thinking like me?

This attitude that is prevalent in the trades I just never understood. Why would you want to upsell something that will prolong the useful life of house wash - when you know the upsell would never recuperate the profits of more frequent cleanings. I've had dozens of folks inquiring about warrantees this year on house washings - it just blows my mind guys are going around trying to sell wash services with warrantees? Why? The painting trades is going through a warrantee phase right now - and 3 homes in my neighborhood under 3 different companies have already been 'warrantied' already, one house twice in 3 years - 4 more years go on the warrantee!!!!! Unless you really understand what you are doing - warrantees will just come back to haunt you! I'd rather just get paid to wash a house 2 years later, instead of honoring a 3 yr warrantee for free.

There is this also to consider. If you dont include it someone does. They will get the job.

The painting stuff I dunno?

I'm not giving any warranties. The mold inhibitor only last 1 year I'm told.
