Question Ez breeze

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for cleaning the vinyl ez breeze windows. I have tried everything the manufacturer suggests, woollite, Murphys oil, and the vinyl cleaner made for them. They look great until the direct sun hits them, then you can see swirl marks. Thanks for any info.

Question Help with Commercial Quote

I just got my first commercial estimate from a residential referral and was wondering if my price is decent.

12 - three-by-six windows with masking tape on edges and possibly paint to scrape
2 - standard glass office doors

These are the type of windows... would've had better pictures but my phone died on the way there and for some reason I don't have a charger in my car. -.-

Question How Are You Getting Reviews to Build your Online Reputation

I have been learning a lot lately about SEO and realize the importance online reviews have in order to increase your online reputation. I was told to ask for a review from customers at the completion of each job rather than wait for them to do it on their own if they choose. Is anyone building reviews this way?

Thanks!

Question How much are you paying for SEO?

Hey guys,

I'm talking to a local SEO company that's going to help me with my SEO. They're going to help me get locally optimized, have access to Digital Marketing Advantage, set up and stay on top of Google+, FB, and Twitter, have a portal for customer reviews, and fix/ increase my overall online reputation score. They are going to charge me $299 on a monthly basis so I'm curious if anyone uses an SEO company and if so, how it is working out for you.

Thanks!

Power and Control question

Hey guys. I don't post here but I do lurk. We added window cleaning with to our house wash service this year. Not much and only when we wash the house.

I am a big fan of the power and control. Perry is a pretty innovative guy for sure. My question is this: does the power and control work with most poles or is it a proprietary deal that only works with the Reach-it poles? I have the multi-pole set up with the DI tank he sells. Thanks.

Question Are you are using Thumbtack in 2015

I was just wondering what your success rate has been using Thumbtack. I have been recently receiving an increased number of leads on a daily basis but once I have made initial contact with the lead, they go dark and I never hear from them again. I would like to know if the amount of leads are typical (10-20 per week) and if so, what is your close/ conversion rate to schedule a cleaning?

Thanks!

Pre filters for DI tanks only ??????

I have been running DI only for the last 10 years but was just wanting to know if using a sediment and carbon filter before the DI would be worth doing.
I use about $400 of resin or 2 x 25 kg bags per season.
Just moving from a mobile set up to a van mount and looking to simplify and extend as much as I can.

Any advice???

Do you see spot shadows?

When you are done removing hard water spots with your system can you still see very light spots in the direct sun? Or can you see spot shadows on the glass when you fog it with your breath? If either than you have not removed enough glass. Cerium will only take you down just so far. It is good for light polishing of light spots. But when the spots are very heavy you must use a grinding process. Then clear with cerium. I would like to start this discussion without mentioning any kits. NO KITS. Lets talk machines, pad materials, polishing powders, micron range, rpms, fpms, surface quality, transitioning, etc. Lets talk about the science of hard water spot removal. I think we have come to a time when this is possible.

How to price rust removal...

So I have a bid I'm doing that has a lot of iron deposits from the sprinkler system all over driveway, brick fence columns, black powder coated metal fence, and brick house. I use white ox (oxalic acid) currently and it seems to work great on stucco and cement but I haven't really tried it on anything else.
4 questions from those with real experience.:

1. Is there a price per square ft on driveway rust removal you've used. It's everywhere on this one. About a quarter of the surface is rusty

2. How does oxalic do on brick and metal? F9 Barc and krud kutter rust removal never really impressed me on cement as much.

3 the last guy who did the job took off the rust but left a white haze on the brick. What is this? Oxidation? I don't think it's effervescence? The customer thinks it is.

4 anything I can recommend as far as a filtration product that will work to filter the iron?

Unger cleaning pads

I didn't know this item existed until a day ago. (Learned about its existence from reading this forum.) So I'm writing to solicit reviews on its performance.

My thought is that it might be easier to use an Unger cleaning pad to clear water from edges than a folded towel. Have any of you had the same thought? Given it a try?
