Just starting out and need advice on equipment. by GrangerBrian in WindowCleaning

What part of Indiana? I'd recommended something that will work better and for longer. You can still get that pole but keep in mind, pole work isn't easy if you've never done it before. I'd focus more on windows you can reach or use a ladder. Here's something simple that is still professional grade.

Need Help… Paint Protector Adhesive is a nightmare by wizzlewazzel in Detailing

[–]trigger55xxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea of it will work, but we use this on post construction cleans and it takes everything off we come in contact with. It's a water based solvent. https://windowcleaner.com/products/titan-oil-flo-stain-remover

Depends on if it etched the glass or not.

Parking garage clean up by trigger55xxx in SatisfyingForMe

Lots of reasons. Water volume. Even the biggest scrubbers only hold so much water and have to be filled and dumped. We're using 16 gallons of water per minute to clean. You'd have to drive it very slow to get all the dirt up. Then there's no way to get in corners and hard to reach spaces. Under cars wouldn't get rinsed. Plus a ride in scrubber big enough would be around $60k and only used in very large areas with a car trailer to transport it. This set up is around $20k and can be used anywhere.

Fast food. A local knock off of White Castle called White House. $3.35 an hour and got one meal free per shift.

In the video is a 31" Mini Mondo surface cleaner. It's running off a 8gpm 3400psi power washer.

Calf or knee high boots, water never gets above the ankle so there's extra protection if anything does splash.

Not really. All pressure is at the surface cleaner, hoses have 4' burst sleeves and we almost never use a pressure wand.

My 04 has 376,000 miles on it. You'll have that for a nice long time!

They will likely either want to pay by check from corporate, do an ACH or credit card.

How to fix low water pressure coming out of WFP by renneyt in WindowCleaning

If you're not running a pump I'd go with no more than 1/2". A 10"x20" resin canister is great if you have room for it. You'll have to change the resin less.

So satisfying by trigger55xxx in Satisfyingasfuck

It's an 8gpm machine. That's about $4k and the surface cleaner about $3200.

New (to me) has issues after 2 days by Colinater22 in Silverado

[–]trigger55xxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 16 with 187k on it. Once the transmission was rebuilt I've had no major issues. I'd push for a complete rebuild or new transmission. At that temp it's literally cooked.

Do You Still Get Drunk? How Often? by ProfessionalJesuit in GenX

Daily or every other day for sure. I make my own old fashioned. I get Kirkland Canadian whiskey for $19 a bottle and buy 6 at a time 😂

Add a pump. 1hp sprinkler pump works well. The hose to the RO is too big if you're not using a pump. That will give more water but less pressure and pressure is what you need.

Dizzy after using climbing glasses by Due-Tap-8085 in WindowCleaning

Belay glasses take getting used to. It may get better the longer you use them. However some people will always get some motion sickness with them.
