finally got the call from a grocery chain last week to clean the entire store front.Nasty! Went and purchased a 21'' mosmatic and i dont think i want to do trucks again.Sweet tool.worth every penny. the gum is another issue though.Lots of scraping but it worked. What would be the best approach to get a contract whith this store. This job turned out really nice.Should i wait to see if they call again and then ask,or should i do a walk in and ask.thanks!

????? You scraped the gum! Was it a new center or something? Or do you not have cold water?

You can pop gum with the right temp and tip.

Pig, you are asking a question about waiting. We have told you not to wait, no time better than now.

You need to get them on regular maint cleaning if you can. That should be your goal with every Job you land.

Take it from the master thats exactly what you want to do. Also if you don't have one yet you will need to in the near future or as soon as you can get a Hot water Powerwasher or a Hot Box for your cold water Powerwasher if you don't have Hot water already. Hot water Powerwashing is numro important when it comes to popping off gum. Set it at 180-200 degrees and the Gum fly's off.

Good Luck
