I'd like to publicly mention that my opinion on Southeast Softwash has changed over time. I would like you to disregard my comments about them being MLM. While they are expensive, they are a good company and their heart is in the right place. Never be afraid to admit your mistakes.

I'm still quite new, but I appreciate the words. I absolutely hate bs, and wish more people would produce honest content. I got into fleet washing as a client of mine from a previous job needed his trucks washed. I'm now running a 2019 Promaster 3500 and this my backup rig.

This is the first video that the person answered every question I had without having to ask. Literally shows the carriage bolt underneath the trailer, how he bent the lance, how many feet of hose, the list goes on. Great video man, thanks for the info. 👍

$2200 for a remote that controls a solenoid? I think you could build that system for about $220 with a car remote, 12v solenoid and car battery.

They have come down in price. The new ones are closer to 8 or 900$ I think maybe more. You can build it, but will it work, or last? When I bought mine there were only two companies on the market

Question what do you use your acid for? I mostly use SH to do some Down stream but I want something a bit stronger
@thomasweis
@thomasweis Год назад
Acid is used when washing vehicles. It can help break the bond that hold dirt onto a vehicle, and can help brighten aluminum, as long as it's not polished.
@TheToOPPlayers

Add another 4pm pump and motor and Siamese them to achieve 8 gpm and maybe add another buffer tank one for each motor, I had two 4gpm Siamese set up with my surface cleaner that shit rips.

Omg finding this video was a blessing. When you mentioned that u tow that with a Prius my eyes popped! I am starting my business and I’m in the process of acquiring a trailer and I also have a Prius so I was so concerned about hauling a big trailer with water tanks on it. Would you share how much load was on the trailer on this video? Also did u ever drove with full tanks? I’ve seen that you’re supposed to keep heavier objects towards the front of the trailer, if they’re towards the back , it gets very unstable. Did u ever experience wobbles while driving or anything of any sort? Please share with me any experiences that would’ve made your life easier that you would change or that you would/ wouldn’t do different? Lol sorry for the humongous question it’s just that I’m in a very similar situation and it can be scary at times, so seeing someone do well and move forward like you simply fills me up with courage and strength!

What acid are you talking about? Never heard people using acid in softwash or pressure.
@thomasweis

NW Chemicals Typhoon typically. It's an aluminum brighter that's is mainly made of Hydrofluoric Acid. Not super common when softwashing, though it has its uses when washing trucks and some property.

@thomasweis
@thomasweis Год назад
I will occasionally use my Softwash system. I typically do mostly fleet washing but Softwash is great money if you can get the work. I'm my area at least there is a company on every corner that offers softwashing and it's pretty diluted.

@@thomasweis there is anyone here that does it that I know of. I live about 45 mins away from companies that do. With that said. I called them and they wanted 600 dollars to wash my house. So roughly .15 cents per square foot. So I guess I can do .11 cents starting out and should be able to make money doing it. Just need to find the set up that doesn’t cost a arm and a leg and will get it done. My 2.5 gallon isn’t doing it and will barely reach the second floor with the second level tips I bought.
