sorry for double post
watch your self with northern tools they say things are in stock and they get it out to you next day and it turns up 4 days later oh yer they take your money even before they send the goods .
and the law says that you have to ship the goods before you take the cash and they are well rude when you phone and ask where your stuff is.
GOOD LUCK >:(

Mike

Seems like a good price (the catalogue I've just got through prices it at £1499.00 +vat)

Have you considered the Delta range we do (I'm assuming it's for the driveway cleaning) on p32 of the catalogue I sent. It's direct direct drive rather than belt drive (more reliable!) and perfectly suitable for what you want to do (and it's cheaper?)

Regards

Mike, i did think about the delta range but this machine looks like i'm getting a lot more for my money, bigger engine & 4000psi


must say though, yours is £300 cheaper than dual pumps ;) ;) and  the 12mth on-site warrenty looks interesting.

Tim, i did worry that i might be taking a risk and not get the work for it but its not a big investment, and i've a few ideas up my sleave

I've bought it. Now i need advise on how to clean driveways :P

I know I'm doing things the wrong way round but I've got the work, but need some tips on how to do it quickly  & thoroughly.

also any ideas of other pressure washing areas I can go into (graffita removal, stone cleaning ect).

Ian, I am snowed under with carpet cleaning but I've wanted to start another bissiness for sometime to build up and sell, so thought I'd try this. its only a little investment and if things work out it will be a good earner.

Mike you must have a hot wash or steam cleaner to do graffiti removal.
If you use a cold machine the chemical "freezes" and you will be left with a big splodge of mixed colours that look a lot worse than when you started.
