David,
What tank size do you recommend for residential work? Small commercial? Thank You.

This is what you need for commercial work, this rig has been in every state from FL to NY and there is nothing we cant clean with it!!

Very good information in this thread!

I am going to be targeting commercial right off the bat, I already have 4 gas stations lined out for bi monthly cleanings and a cvs pharmacy for once quarterly cleanings.

I thinking of starting with the following set-up:

Trailer mounted:
24hp Honda 8gpm 3000psi hot water system 2 wands at 4gpm 3000psi

Downstream injection chemical setup

one primary 425 gallon and one secondary 200 gallon tank in truck bed

2 25 gallon chemical mix/feed tanks, so i can have 2 diffrent chemicals being fed if needing into both wands.

and a 24 inch surface cleaner

i think that should be good to start with

There are alot of factors in answering this question. Depends on how big the commercial job it is? If its a small gas station you can get away with a 5gpm hot water...even some restaurant sidewalks, dumpster pads etc can be done with a smaller set up.
Now with the set up Nick (BTW nice set up Nick) showed pics of he can come in and do it in half the time. Time is money...
But hot water is definately a necessity with commercial.
As for the biggest problem I would have to say expecting water spigots to be turned on and they werent. I always ask or put it in the contract whether or not they will provide the water...charge more if they dont.

Terry,
We all have to start somewhere! To get started go for the jobs that have water hookup near by. If you get a job that has a lot of gum they are going to expect you to get up evey little spot and don't forget the gum rings that are left. First use a good degreaser. Allow it a few miniutes to work in to the surrface. Then use your surrface cleaner if you have one. You should be using hot water @ 200 degrees with at least 4000 psi @ 5 gals per. min. or it will take you longer to do the job! If you don't have a water hook up near by you will not be able to do the job properly and that will cause you to lose confidence and credibility. You need to understand It's not how many accts. you have; but rather how many you can serve well! you reputation is far more important than taking on a job you can't handle.
Good luck,
