I guess it's time for me to look into that. I was hoping to build a small customer base first to have money coming in to pay for insurance lol.

I do have one question about this statement...

ruined electronics from using a pressure washer on door jams(lol- my personal favorite!),

What electronics are in the door jambs that can't get wet? I have used a pressure washer (1200psi) to rinse door jambs for over 20 years and can't see what possible damage can come from doing so???

How else do you recommend going from this

To this?

I tend to use the PW on some of the door jams also. I don't blast away at it though becasue obvioulsy it will soak the inside. But if there is something I need to know I would rather learn it the easy way instead of the hard way.

RaskyR1, what is your technique for power washing and not getting the interior wet?

BTW I just noticed where you're from, my wife used to work at the Walmart before moving to VA.

I soak with Safe D-Greaser, agitate with slide-lock brush and use the mist setting on my hose head. I call it the discontinued Meg's method.

those slide lock brushes are great.

and as for the hack thing, you dont have to have a business license or be insured to not be a hack.

quality work and professionalism will keep you far from the hack category

very true...Your finished product will show whether you're a hack or not, insurance or no insurance. Just take more precautionary measures until you can get the license/insurance.

WOW. All cars should have a restraining order against this guy. Not allowed within 15 feet.

vtec92civic · 10-28-09, 02:45

NO real technique...and really I only do it when the door jambs are very dirty as I feel it save a lot of time and I don't want to trash my mitts and brushes. I just pre-treat with an APC, rinse with pressure washer and then clean normally with a seperate mitt and various brushes if needed. Follow that up with a quick final rinse. If a few drops of water happen to land on the interior I wipe it up with a towel. It's not like water doesn't land on door panels when you get in the car during a rain storm...

Definitely not like that! I won't go above the window line and my pressure washer is set at a MUCH lower psi. I also have a shorter wand on my pressure washer.
