Congratulations my bro. Yessuh let's do it!
You keep it real bro . Great videos always
Thanks a lot
Thanks - nice job
Thanks for watching!
Dang. That’s a good size job🎉
Lots of surface cleaning. i wanted to seal them lol
Yup!
Thanks 💪🏾
What did you do to prevent disruption in the joints and the sand beneath?
Pavers that aren't sealed will have sand washout just from heavy rain. So with that said there's no way to prevent that 100%. It'll happen Whether it's pressure washed or soft washed. If it's soft washed with strong chemical ratios when you rinse it some will come out as well. So the Key remains on the pavers being sealed from the get go.
Hi Cliff...another great job...
You don't use 22 inches surface cleaner???
And you don't use surface cleaner with whell's...
Can I ask why??
Thanks sir...👍👍🙂🙂
22 is an oddball one lol I got a 20 and a 36. Normally they go 20 24 28 32 36 and up. I like the 20 I can move fast and it cleans well. Not saying a 24 or 28 wouldn't but that's what I have now so it's all good.
Wheels don't matter at all unless u got something 24" and above. Then it's vital so you can move the surface cleaner better.
Really nice job
😊😊😊 thank ya always
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash 😊
Nice job!! Good video.
Thanks Ryan 💪🏾
The last poets treatment adds bling ,pazaze . Fancy car will cost you a body part and your first born male child.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao yea put Elijah in the trading block hahahahah
I've told you this before but I love your content how did you get customers in the beginning cuz I'm having a hard time.
Thanks. In the beginning I was pushing a lot of posts on Facebook neighborhood groups then I started doing yard signs.
Nice job bro👍🏽💯🇵🇷
Thanks Richard. 💪🏾
The chemicals that you use dont they kill the grass when it is on the side of the pavement
If you're careless. Too much water can kill grass as well so go figure lol. .. but the chemical can kill grass if you're spraying it too strong and don't water the grass.
Looks like a nice ticket👍
Yessuh 2.5hrs from pull up to leaving. 5k sq ft of pavers
What was ticket for this much of pavers?
@@chadbreeding8325 .15c a sq ft
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash do you charge the same for concrete?
@@TheBatags Yes pretty much between .15-20c A Sq Ft
When do you not use a surface cleaner on pavers?
If sand and dirt are flowing like crazy than what?
Will just a downstream mix with 20min dwell do the job? Or would you bump it up to 3% and let it dwell for 20 minutes and rinse?
Would that clean the pavers effectively?
Thanks man.
I wont use the surface cleaner if its a small area that i can just turbo nozzle.
your second question is wide open. are you talking about cleaning pavers with softwashing pavers witha downstream mix then rinsing it? well that will depend on how dirty the pavers are.
What % sh do you use for pavers? Also ive had a lot of red runoff from red pavers, actually stained the driveway skirt. Any ideas on this ?
It depends on how dirty they are. They normally clean up with a good 2% mix.
Love the Vid ! What did you post treat driveway with ?
SH. Same thing I pre treated it with. Helps make the surface cleaner and pop more
Great video as always! Do you use a turbo nozzle to get in the corners? What do you use so you don’t get a hard jerk when you pull the trigger while down streaming? Thanks again!
I use the regular tips to get in corners or a ball valve. I use a jrod to downstream But I have a k7 unloader on my pressure washer so it doesnt kick at all
Awesome video, thanks man. I have a paver job coming up so this was just what the Dr ordered! Do you change out tips or do anything to lower psi to avoid blowing out sand or do you just surface clean as normal. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for watching. Nah I surface clean as usual. The sand washout will happen of the pabers are sealed anyway. So for instance when it storms and Rains the same thing happens.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Thanks man!
Curious as to how you charge for sand and seal. Do you up sell the original wash. And if so, then what, ballpark wise, do you charge for the sand and seal. I want to add this service. Thanks in advance..
Love all.your vids and plan on visiting you one day when I'm back down in Ft Myers ...
I charge by the square footage. And if a customer asks for a paver sealing quote then the price is all inclusive. It covers labor and material. So clean sand and seal is all 1 price when I give it to them. I don't break it down in an itemized quote. Unless they want a pool cage cleaning, house wash, or roof cleaning added.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash If I could jump in here with would you seal then sand or vice versa?
@@richsainsbury2285 gotta sand 1st if you're sanding
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Awesome ty can you suggest a sealer brand you like to use
@@richsainsbury2285 I only mainly used silica sand
Whats the name of the product you sprayed before the pressure washer?
Sodium hypochlorite better known as chlorine
If you are away from your truck do you go back to it to bypass or remove your DS injectior or just use it with your surface cleaner?
Maybe a Pink Raptor is on the the list for capital expenditure?
Yep a few steps to the front old school stepping 🚶♂️ 😆
How long did this take and what did you charge if you don’t mind me asking?
This is so old I don't recall. I'd imagine a couple hours. And I don't display my prices on the channel. It' has created too much complaining
How do you charge for jobs like this. I have a job to do and don't want to over or under charge
thats gonna depend on how much you want to earn and be mindful of your business model and expenses. its not a set price really.
Did you use super suds sucker the way it came or add check valve to it
Nah just used the orifice that goes with my 8gpm no check valve. It has worked great for the last 2 years.
5.05k
Blew up fast. Never could imagine that when I started.
Great job. They should have gotten it sand and seal. Oh well.
Bid is in for that. Hope i land it. 5k!
Congrats on the 5K bro! I watch all your vids and keep trying to educated myself with your kind and free knowledge! Thank you for that!!! What % SH you using this video for that front and back?
I appreciate that! Remember SH comes in 12.5% or 10% but im not spraying that straight, Im downstreaming it with the downstream injector so it only comes around around 2.5%
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash right i understand. I have one of those pump sprayers that you used to seal with back in the day. I can dilute it in that and spray my solution right?
@@gogators5762 yes of course. They work well for that
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash bet! Thank you again
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. OUTSTANDING.
Thanks CJ
What sis you charge for the job how many sq
.15c a sq ft. It was quite a bit of pavers I can't recall how many sq ft on this one exactly
I'm a newbie in the pressure washing game, I live in New Castle Delaware. What are the essentials to get my business off the ground?
What equipment are best works starting? I want to start with a 4 GPM pressure washer to start. What other equipment should have to start with?
What chemicals would you recommend on driveways and rock paths?
I know this was long but I like to get it from a black male in the business and what you did to be successful.
Grady
@@gradysanders1573 its hard to type that in a few words. There's so much detail
What chemical are you using to pretreat pavers, driveways, etc.
Sodium hypochlorite better known as chlorine
Hi Cliff...please, where did you buy your surface cleaner??? And a brand name??
And the SH ???
Thanks sir...
I got it used. That's a Mi-T-M 20 inch surface cleaner. Similar to the BE 20 inch whirl a way surface cleaner. I get my SH at a local supplier or at pinch a penny pool store
What percent SH did u use on the pavers and was there a surfactant in the downstream?
about a 2% and yes there was surfactant but surfactant doesnt do anything for cleaning flatwork. surfactant is meant for vertical surfaces so its able to stick.
What chemicals do you use? I want to do my driveway and pavers have a little bit of algae but scared to mix chlorine and soap
Thanks for watching. That's exactly what I use. I use bleach safe soap sp there's no reaction. You could always use laundry soap as a substitute or not use soap at all. The chlorine does the cleaning anyway.
The sh doesn't damage the wooden doors ?
If you spray wood doors or stained doors yes it will.
What mix do you use for the downstream
Just sh brother. Downstream mixes it water. You can surfactant if you want but it's not necessary for surface cleaning. It's your choice.
Sh tears up the surface cleaner if you spray it first or is it a myth? Always to scary to try. I’m sure down streaming is fine but if it was a super hot mix it would be bad
The surface cleaner is made to work just as it is brother. It's stainless steel and plastic so nothing will hurt it.
Do you always rinse houses before applying sh.
No not at all. Maybe if it's really hot and the sun is beaming on a side that's oxidized.
what type of lance is that one handed?
Just a 1ft Lance
What psi should you be using if you're doing pavers? and what chemicals ?
Always SH unless it's rust, oil, or grease. And PSI doesn't matter it's all about GPM. I rum 8GPM
Cliff🤩
Yooooooo 💪🏾🙏🏽
a few questions when paver sealing.. what sand do you use? and if there are rust stains can oxalic be used also oil stains what product do you use? Thank you man
I use silica sand. Yes oxalic got rust. Degreaser for oil stains but oil stain cleaning has a low removal rate. Best it will do is lighter up unless the stain is very new
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash awesome thank you very much for the feedback you’re the best
5K!!!!!!!!!
We made it!!
You're the man brother I appreciate all your knowledge and info thank you so much from a beginner washer with much love God-bless you that's for sure. If I can make it out there would you accept my offer I'll help and you don't have to pay me
Thanks a lot for watching and I appreciate the offer. I👍🙏🏽
Nice!!! How many bags of sand you think you will need for a job like that?
That specific job will take a lot of sand cause the gaps were pretty empty and they previously use that home depot sand. I'd be surprised if I used less than 8-9 bags
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash wow. I’m thinking of adding sand and seal service
@@jasoncleansit Do it! its very lucrative!
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thanks brother 🙏
What do you do for sensitive concrete pavers that have a worn upper surface? I've heard horror stories where even the surface cleaner wore down concrete pavers and caused the fine aggregate to show leaving a white speckled look? Do you go have to regulate your pressure at the pump or do you just go up in size on the surface cleaner tips? Thanks!
Never had that happen before. If they're already worn there's nothing to do to make them look better. They would just need to get them sealed.
What do you got in your van bro
8gpm, 130 gal buffer tank , 65 gal chem tank, 12v soft wash system. I got a video on here dedicated to my van setup
What’s up bro question.. Post treatment do you rinse off after or let it sit for good?
No need to rinse it. Spray and let it work and dry up
mr cliff if you would be soo kind could i have the name of the boot s you wear i would be appreciate al g blue sky window cleaning the wife doesn t like the one s i purchase
Hahahah yes sir. They are called HUK deck boots. There's a link in the description of the video that takes you right to Amazon to purchase them.
thankyou for the fast responce al g
do you have to resend after cleaning pavers?
No sir. Unless I'm sealing them
How many gpm you use
8gpm 💪🏾
Was that a sud sucker downstream post treatment? If not, what percent sh on your post treatment?
Yes sir. I only use the suds sucker downstream injector. Had it going for the last 2 yesr now, I absolutely love it!
Hi buddy. 😀
Hi there 😊
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash nice place you work at. Looks lovely to live at. Much love and blessings
What spray you use on the bricks
SH
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thank you
Whats your mix? %
About a 2 5% mix
You can do 2.5% on a DS injector? If so, how? Lmk pls. Thank you
How do you post treat?
Just spray a strong sh mix on the driveway. Usually a 5% takes care of any lines. You can go stronger if you need to. And you don't have to rinse it.
killer

If I'm not mistaken it was roughly 3k sq ft.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWashI just quoted a job 2493 sqft for 747 about 30 cents a sqft they wanted it done for 300 I declined what would you normally charge?

@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thank you 🙏🏽❤️
Nice big driveway good job is Florida require license for pressure cleaning residential commercial? 💯💯🔥🔥🦩🦩🦩
Thanks. Nah there's no pressure washing license. Most commercial jobs will ask you for what's called a business tax receipt (formally known in Florida as an occupational license). Long as you have that and your LLC paperwork and insurance you're good to do any commercial job.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash occupational license in my city
