pressure washer costco image
theGODwatc
Due to an old roomates German Shepard, and his propensity to scratch, urinate and deficate on my deck, I have to pressure wash it before resealing it, and I also need to pressure wash the patio beneath it. This gives me an excuse to buy a pressure washer. I know nothing about these things so... What is the best model under $300 that will take care of buisness?
Answer
Karcher 2400 PSI, Honda gas powered, from Costco, $299. Sorry, it seems that this model is no longer made. A co-worker recommended this model and I've been extremely satisfied. The electric models are not much better than a good high pressure hose nozzle. The closest I can find is Karcher 2500 PSI Pressure Washer w/ Honda Engine $399.99

Where can I buy boat cleaning supplies in bulk?
Questionma
I would like to start a boat cleaning business and would like to buy big 5 gallon or 55 gallon drums of cleaning supplies and waxes and polishes. Is there a website or supplier? Thanks for the help, I am a college student and just wanting to make some extra cash in the summers.
Answer
Cleaning supplies for boats are not really much different from most everything else. Ok! Guys calm down! Yes, there are a ton of "Boat products! Special care should be exercised when it comes to environmental issues. (Green Products). Vinyl plastic, Canvas parts, Fiberglass, some upholstery issues.
But, Soap is Soap.
Other than some "caustic" products I've found you can do about as well at Costco, as from "wholesalers". I even find useful things at the Dollar store.
I once bottled my own brand of Boat wash. I bought drums of a pretty good cleaner, bottled it and labeled it. it retailed for about half the price of Name brand "boat cleaner".
The trick is to "know" what works and what doesn't.
You can buy wax and rubbing compounds, from "Automotive Paint" wholesalers. Like Sherwin-Williams Auto Paint stores. (Different from their regular paint stores.)
But you can also get set up to buy from boat stores, like West Marine or Defenders Boat supply. The more you buy the better the price. However the bulk savings are small in comparison to other businesses. (Read: "are not worth the effort")
I think the biggest thing you need to know about is the use of buffers, pressure washers, etc. Be very mindful of safety. Wear goggles. Rubber gloves, long sleeve shirts etc.
