Love the channel name and the build. Great job. I’m helping my son who’s 16 start up and don’t want to over complicate it.

Good efficient setup buddy. I just upgraded my honda gx 390 from a 4gpm to a 5.5gpm by just adding a new pump to the engine. Im not sure if you already do this but a good trick for downstreaming is using the xjet m5 twist for soaping, and then switching to the xjet (the one with the brass barb coming out the bottom) for rinsing. The orifice hole on the xjet is small and doesnt allow the injector to pull chemical so its basically a manual on and off switch without having to walk to the trailer.

Not sure why they were telling you that they wished to keep their 4gpm. When I bought my 8gpm, I had zero need for the 4gpm unit. Sold it immediately and glad I did.

I was thinking about buying that same trailer off of market place, but im deciding to just save my money and build my own. These arent bad for 5k, but i just want to be hands on with the build.

@DiamondHandsDetailingLLC 4 ай бұрын

Yeah it isn’t worth 5k. The guy was really nice, but it was definitely a rushed build and the softwash setup was pulling straight bleach because they don’t use metering valves. You could get more for 5k in your own build for sure.

@dre_withthek1655 4 ай бұрын

@DiamondHandsDetailingLLC yea I figured it wasn't. I been doing alot of research on stuff and I saw I could get all the Tanks for around $150 bucks so how was it worth 5k.

Whats the opinion on just using the 12v for pre and post treatment instead of downstreaming? I like the idea of less wear items with just running water through the pressure side.

@before-and-after-pro-wash 5 ай бұрын

Nice trailer man! I have the predator 4.2 GPM and I've been looking at a 8 GPM as well but also thinking about the 5.5 GPM. I think I'm going to do the 5.5 first and if the season goes good I will get the 8 GPM. You can check my trailer out as well.lets have a amazing wash season.

@DiamondHandsDetailingLLC 5 ай бұрын

I honestly wouldn’t mind having both on a trailer for water use purposes. Appreciate the input!!

@JakeRice-qu4rm 5 ай бұрын

You could always swap out your 4pm pump for a 5-5.5gpm pump on that engine… you will have less pressure but should still be sufficient for everything you mentioned. Save from buying a whole different machine that way.

The vibe i got from your name, you might of actually held through the dips. I didnt and lost out on an actual fortune. Sold all my btc when it was 3800 in like 2018? The very next day it was $3300 and i felt great about decision, then within a few days it made a complete recovery and it was over 10k. For months and months i would log in and see my value dropped again. It was a slow bleed and i got squeezed out at the very end.

It does good for its purpose. The small gas tank is inconvenient, but it gets the job done. Starts every time.

@alananchondo4929 4 ай бұрын

Do you think that the reason the sh doesn't corrode the trailer as much when aired out is because it being exposed to air and not in a closed container weakens the chemical?

@DiamondHandsDetailingLLC 4 ай бұрын

Doug Rucker has a video about venting your SH tank on his channel. He explains it better than I do. From what I can tell, venting it may actually keep it more stable if you store your trailer outside. There’s some controversy behind it, but the corrosion seems to be a lot more manageable since I added the vent.

I have a 5x8 Trailer and was debating on converting it. I bought a tank like that to put on it. Just need to figure out how to plumb it. I was going to run a very similar soft wash system as well. Without batch mixing. Are you using that 20" surface cleaner with the 4GPM without an issue?

@DiamondHandsDetailingLLC 4 ай бұрын

Yeah thankfully I’ve never had to batch mix. I do a lot of down steaming and only usually break out the 12v to pre and post treat concrete. And that’s actually a 16” BE cleaner. I had a knock off 20” and it did okay but the 16 definitely runs better with the 4gpm.

@bretlagasse3560 4 ай бұрын

@@DiamondHandsDetailingLLC I've had somebody telling me they run a 20" with a 4gpm, but you have to walk slower with it. It may actually be quicker with a 16" Do you feel like you cover a good area with the 16"? I have a 14" right now, but with a 2.3 GPM, it isn't great lol.

Only a Matter of time before someone does on the highway with you running a single axle trailer with that tote. If you’re not driving with that weight you’re still filling up on a job and that’s too much weight for that trailer. As far as the small machine, yeah man, if you wanna do the job right and quick and 8 gallon permanent machine is the way to go there’s no way you’re doing two or three jobs a day with that little machine and doing it the right way
