How long do you let your post treatment dwell before rinsing?
@@SP-mg3li just a few minutes . A hot mix works very fast
I’ve watched countless videos on pressure washing and you are the best so far. Love the statement “treat this like your own house, do the right thing” AMEN to that. Thank you 🙏
I was starting out when I watched this video a year ago. Trying to find a reason for my silly streaks. My life changed forever after this video. Now we run 2 trailers and we are our city’s go to cleaning pros! I love your videos .
That’s awesome bro! Thanks for the support keep killing it!
Im 18 and just started a small power washing business. I appreciate you giving out good information to the people.
Your videos always have great tips that can keep someone from making a mistake that could cost them and there customers lots of grief . So thank you for taking your time to make these videos
The number one best soft wash service cleaning instructional video on the Tube
Thanks for all
Great info! I didnt know we should wet driveways before cleaning. I pre-treat very dirty driveways but normal driveways I would go right into the surface cleaning. Thanks for the pro-tip!!
Just started this year. Retired truck driverin upstate NY, trying to make ends meet. Great content. Watch your channel a lot. Thank you for the content.
Your videos are great. No BS and beating around the bush. Thank you for that.
Thanks nic I appreciate that!
It looks so clean. Imagine when it dries up, it will looks a lot brighter.
You have another follower. 😁
WOW !!! Powerful... I really enjoyed the sharing of your professional experience. The videos that you are sharing are like college education.
Thank you sharing.
I just did a Binford grunt when I saw all the tools on your rig! 😂
One of the better description video I have seen in a while, thank you and look forward to the drawing.
Glad you liked it! thank you
When in montage/fast forward, his little feet had the zoomies 😂😂😂
Thanks for taking the time to talk to me last week! Your videos are great my shoulder is doing great thanks again!
no problem at all! Glad to hear Darrin!
thats was good keep up the good work cause i do the same in barbados but pressurewashing not soft wash an its more easyer than what wee do
I feel PRESSURED 😳 Great Information 🤓🇺🇸👍
Thank you for you info. I’m researching for a good power washer to help me get started. Thank you for your info.
Great tips thanks from Scotland 🏴
Thank you for this video!
Good video but I disagree with your part about needing minimum 5.5 GPM machine if you're "just starting out" and don't have a lot of money to begin with. Why tell someone to go spend $5k+ on a machine when they need to prove to themselves that they can get work, and do a decent job with a cheaper 4 GPM machine? Your setting newbies up for financial failure from the get go.
Agree I started off with a 3200 psi 2.5 gpm but am more focused on reputation first and work my way up
You can get a 5.5 for about the same price usually $100 more than the 4.0gpm. Also you can do a driveway with a 4gpm if you are going slower and not overlapping and rinsing after a few passes.
I'm just starting with a 2.5 gpm DeWalt, definitely slower but I enjoy taking my time. I get driveways, walkways and retaining walls done perfectly with it. With a 16 inch surface cleaner I just go very slow. Till I make enough to buy a 4gpm machine. $300 turned into $1500 in 3 days! 2.5 is all you need to start with.
@@jedmonaco8554do you do door to door or like how do you get clients
if you're gonna wash it the way this guy does... even a 5.5gpm is low. pre-treat, pressure, post-treat & rinse? that's an insanely long process for a 4gpm
Thanks for the time you put into your videos
Thank you for providing a newbie as myself to the pressure washing industry, I’m a nerd when it comes to learning equipment and techniques so this is much appreciated. I look forward to learning more. Take care!!! God bless!!
Me too!
Very helpful video man. What percentage SH did you pre/during/post treat for concrete and brick in this video?
I need to get my soft wash system 🎉😊
This video is a serious treat to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome information right here, honest, open & true. I took a lot of notes, which will pay off even though I'm just at the research stage. Thank you Kyle.
Great video
Thanks lane
Great walkthrough and video quality
Great video, great work!
i was wondering if you ever have issues with the local municipality for your run off into the city drain?
If I was paying for this type of cleaning, you would be the one I would hire. The right equipment for the job is a must, plus experience, plus attention to detail. I see so many videos of driveway/brick cleaning and the stripes, some spots cleaner than others, the wand used first to cut in, then the surface cleaner second, and you can see everywhere the wand was used when finished, ect. drives me crazy, I am OCD, lol. Great job, the best job I have seen so far.
thanks for the support!!
@SOFTWASH TV really inspiring brother, and very educational. I'm just starting in the pressure washer business. Starting off small with the equipment that I can afford, but the end goal is your setup. Very professional! I'm still trying to figure out the Chemicals part of it because I don't want to ruin anyone's property.
Yea your attention to detail is what makes people appreciate the job done.
That was awesome, thank you.
Id bet you jingle his balls for a tip too
Like the video very informative , starting this in the next couple of months
You don’t have any issues with that pre-treatment drying on the surfaces? Thanks for these videos I’m learning a lot.
I addressed this in the video
You sure did, i was typing as i was watching, again thanks for the videos.
First time watching you ! Great Video! Thanks!!👍
Great Content👍🏾. Tip on having a leaf blower was a #GEM
Man your videos are my favorite to watch. My family started this past season with a 12v and 24v trailer setup. The AR45 seems to be the berries so I think that will be coming up. What size lines are on the blend manifold feeding that AR45? I have a smart blend manifold with remote I haven't hooked up yet and was curious if it could work with that. Thanks!
What is the range the something like this would one charge for this. Thanks for your help.
Looks like a big job
How do you estimate these jobs? Or any job really? I’m in Indiana and would live to get into this business. It’s satisfying to me and you can make great money.
Great Video, I know its almost a year old but great content. I am 55 and just retired down in Puerto Rico for a year now and I am bored. I am down here about 6 months out of the year and there is a huge need for quality power washing down here and I want to fill that gap. Im not trying to build another big company but just have some income and some mental stimulation in this part of my life. What is the best way to start and be successful in this business? I would want to start with all the proper equipment as I understand how important that is but I also want to skip the pitfalls of a brand new owner in this business that I have never even considered. My goal would be to have a rig like yours which has everything and is top notch. I would do all the work and basically work when I want to which is about 20-40 hrs a week for 6 months out of the year. I have been self employed for 30 years so know how to run businesses. Do you have any kind of training system or what are your thoughts for someone like me. Appreciate any thoughts on bending the learning curve and headaches to make this profitable and fun right out of the gate. Not sure why I like watching these videos - kinda weird but clearly I am not the only one 😁 Again, thanks for any input
This house has some beautiful brickwork. The whole property overall looks quite nice. I agree that this was a perfect house to get some nice dramatic before and after shots like you mentioned.
Your level of detail goes well above and beyond a lot of other guys, thanks!
Good information. I'd like to learn more about surface cleaner tips
I know you say not to walk too fast with the surface cleaner but I was wondering if you or if you know of someone else that has made a video that actually walks at normal speed Just so we could see what speed you should be walking at just getting in to the Business I know it’s probably a goofy question
That's me i guess lol. No one has ever told me i needed to ever switch my tips out only that i make sure they are not clogged up. It's been a year so I guess i need to do that just because. I have always pre treated so I've never had problems with lines. I do know this, i just did a wash on a brick home and there are these black kinda wide lines under the windows on the brick. I can't get these black lines to come off the brick. I'll figure that out i'm sure, but right now i'm so lost.
Guys like you make it hard to start out haha, everyone looks at a set up like that and I show up with a 2.5gpm washer and a bucket lol
A 2.5 set up costs the same as our 4gpm sled set ups, so why?
Great videos
do you build your own pressure washers or buy them engine and pump assembled?awesome work btw man
ah I see you have the belt drive pressure pro
Just getting in to pressure washing to try to supplement my income. It's actually more rewarding than I expected it to be. Seeing the transformation is so satisfying. Thank you so much for your information. It's remarkable how much I learn from someone that knows and cares. Hopefully this can become my only job soon. With tutorials from you, it's very probable.
Thanks again, brother
Are you still at it ? Thinking about it myself
So a 20-24” surface cleaner is going to be a lot more forgiving on the lines as far as if I move out of line a bit right ? And if I got a smaller surface cleaner unit than that then just take it real slow if i’m hearing you correctly ? Thanks in advanced brother
Thank you . I’m about too start my own business. Please keep videos coming u help me get educated on this .
What is the brand name of the hose hand sprayer? Do you use to pre - and post treat the red handle one.
Been looking for a gas soft wash system. Have yet to find one.
Thanks for the info. Good video
I’m not really understanding the post treatment, do you mean rinse properly so that SH won’t stay in the floor is it?
How did you calculate the cost of this job and how much did you charge.?
Bang on mate thanks
What do you use/suggest for wash water reclamation?
Glad I found you. Although I've learned a lot from the fast talkers, the wam! bam! doesn't settle well. Obvious you take pride, you care (barefoot kids), and it shows. Looking forward to learning more.
Thanks for the support ! Glad you enjoyed the video
How long should you let the mix dwell on a surface before removing it with pressure 10-15mins?
You impress me with your knowledge and honesty. Wish you were closer, I’m in Texas and need a business that I could eventually turn over to a manager as I’m disabled and need funds baaad! Take care and I’ll keep watching your videos. Regards
Thanks for the video. Liked and subscribed. I have a new 12' X 28' patio that began to delaminate 2 mm flakes from the surface. I went out after it had cured for 19 weeks and was using just a leaf blower on it before applying a densifier then a sealer and the flakes began to come off. I was going to try using my Simpson pressure washer and surface cleaner to try to get all the flakes off so that I don't have to have it surface ground but I dunno. What would you suggest? Also, I may have missed it but what do you use for your pretreatment solution?
I have a question. I have a 3400 psi 2.4 gpm pressure washer. I purchased a downstream injector and a jrod made for my gpm. What ratio bleach will I be putting out. Let's say I'm using the 10%. I'm not in the business, just wanted to wash my house , driveway and sidewalks. Also I has a split level house that has a second story over the garage. Will it reach the peaks? Is the standard gun that comes with the unit good? Thank's for any help.
Good information, buddy.
Very straight forward as always. You were and are an excellent resource for those that are new to the industry. Thanks!
Does this Red Gun work with onDemand pump ? or it only work with Pressure washer
👍great info
looks Awesome
While you were surface cleaning the driveway (particularly the sloped portion closer to the road), did you just let the excess water run into the street? If so, how would this not be a violation of the Clean Water Act?
I used a quick dam flood barrier
Amazing video
Most informative pressure wash video I have found, not vague instructions just to get you to buy a course.. thank you!!
I’m going to start pressure washing on the side as an additional income and hopefully become independent and have my own company and not depending on a 9-5 so thanks!
what is the pre treatment solution
Your a good man Kyle. Having this channel around has really helped get my business started! Thanks for everything brother!
Could I use gx690 with the soft wash system because that’s what my friend using or for the newbie like me wanting to start the business should I go with gx390 is enough for me?
How much did you charge for that massive work?
How many hours did this one take you? That is some severe square footage.

How do you keep from killing the grass with 4%treatment?
What nozzle do you use for pre and post treatment
Our city doesn’t allow anything but clean water into the city drains. How would you address super dirty driveways if you can’t use any chemicals?
If you use chemicals you have to use a recovery tank
Beautiful job! Love your work ethics. Thank you for sharing all this valuable information!!!
You awesome bro thanks
Great information, I really appreciate your detail. I'm just getting into it. Don't have the budget yet starting slow.
Awesome video and great information. I just recently had an idea and a goal to leave my job in the next 2 to 3 years and start pressure washing. Ive had no experience and already overwhelmed with all the equipment that it takes. Ill definitely be watching all your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and playing it forward!!
Hey do you think a job like this becomes undervalued when you put your price point at a fixed $800 regardless of surface space & hours of cleaning for residential of course not commercial
this job was a lot more then 800. I wouldn't recommend a fixed price . price every job accordingly
Inspiring videos
Great video man! I’m just starting my business out. You had a lot of good info man
Hey bro what's in your hotsauce what do u use?
One thing I do is make sure you aren’t running to much pressure on the concrete driveway with a surface cleaner. I always test a area and turn down my pressure as needed. If your seeing alot of sand residue on the driveway your pressure is to high. Don’t etch the concrete just clean it. Like Kyle said pay attention to your tips sizes.
I have done over hundreds of driveways with my PW business. Over 20 yrs in the business.
Awesome channel Kyle!!! Fantastic presentation and solid simple knowledge. Great job!!!👍
Nice name lol! Love pontiacs!!! One question, proabably retarded as hell but I just read about setting the pressure? I'm familiar with basic pressure cleaning but never heard of being able to adjust the pressure. Can you drop some bombs on me? I'm assuming there is equipment that enables you to do it with more powerful pressure cleaners? I'm trying to jump from basic tools to more commercial type stuff lol
@@poisondaddy thanks. What I do is just turn down the gas throttle lever to about half from full. Will very depending on size or psi of your machine. For example if you have a 4000 psi rated machine half throttle should be around 2000 psi. Probably a little more than half throttle will be just about right. Then watch your concrete surface and look for sand particles. You will have some but not a lot. Like I said before clean the concrete don’t etch it.
Adjust the throttle as needed. It takes time to get it down but it’s better to start with light pressure than to much.
@@mattspontiactagas throttle do you mean the gas turn valve? Or the choke?
@@Monztuh I turn mine down by using the throttle/gas lever. Only use the choke when it’s cold out.
Hope this helps you.
Great video. How often do you you find yourself recovering the runoff? And when you do, what is your process? Thank you!
Thinking to get in to start the business, I can tell you’re giving us genuine info!! Thank you!!
How many gallons of water did that job consume? Is it really impractical to rely on client’s hoses? Thanks!
where do you get your shirts made
(12/17/22) Kyle, This is one of your or I should say “The” Best videos out on surface cleaning…and What a Beautiful home to use as the canvas!
••• I really appreciate all of your effort in the production of these videos…
Great video Kyle! Are you still building trailers? What tips do you recommend for a 20 inch surface cleaner. I’m running a 5.5 gpm machine right now.
You've definitely become a distant mentor and go-to while developing my exterior home detailing company. Thank you for the guidance and keep up the amazing work brother! GOD bless.
Great to hear! Thanks for the support brother
What did u do to stop water from going on the road
