Chris, that is the biggest reason we have a box van.

 It looks very very nuce! But One mistake I see is your phone number, the last part of it where it says WASH.

You want people to call you in TRAFFIC, and if you think they will look for the phone numbers to WASH in traffic, well ...

 Yeah Chris, I thought of that.  I helped Steve with his box truck design.  I like the version his designer came up with too.

Here's what I came up with a few months ago when I was working on Steve's new wrap. 

He said he decided to go with a more corporate look in case he wanted to sell his company and exclude his grand daughter from the design, which was a smart move.

 I would just put "Safe, Non Pressure Process"

The  word Chemical is a negative, I would leave it off the truck.

Yes, the baby has to go to, IMHO.

LOL, Steve is gonna hate me, but one day he may like me again

Chris, how is the word "chemical" a negative? People can tell we are using chemicals just by the smell.

I have tried using only the words SAFE ROOF CLEANING, NON-PRESSURE PROCESS, or NO PRESSURE NO DAMAGE, and I kept getting asked by customers, how do you clean roofs with no pressure?

Do you brush it? LOL!

 Exactly what you want, the customers to be curious enough to ASK "How do you do it" 

Then, you get the chance to explain "We use safe chemicals, made even safer by dilution"

But, when you put the word Chemical up there, people can say "OMG, screw that, they probably use toxic chemicals"

I'll never forget, more than 12 years ago working with a friend who knocked the soap bucket over with the hose. He was frantic and yelling over the noise of the machine "Hey Ed, the chemical!!! We spilled the chemical all over the grass!!! Ed!!! Ed!!!"

And yes the customer was right there. How differently she would of reacted if that dumb ass would of just said "soap!"

 LOL, and I had a ground man, watering a plant, where 2 roof sections came together. The plant was taking a bath in the roof cleaning chemical. The customer asked "Will my plant be ok" ? My ground man, at that time, looked at the customer and said "Hell No, that plant is toast" 

Then, the very next week, I was very very low on roof cleaning chemical, doing a Grey Shingle Roof, on a cold day. I had a few spots to touch up, many that just needed a good rain. But, the customer came out, and asked the gound man "Is He done" ?

This ground man told him "No, he missed a lot of spots, and he is touching them all up now" ! 

Well, that "empowered" the freaking customer, and he started going all over the house, pointing out "spots I missed" !

Well, I was already very low on chemical, and finally ran out, as the customer, AND my own freaking ground man, were both pointing out "spots I missed"!

I had no choice but to get down off the roof (I was out of chemical), and I explained his roof just needed a "good rain". He refused to pay, until after a good rain came.

The ground man said "where is my money, for working on this job" ?

Needless to say, I fired his azz, that very day, and made him wait for his money, until I got mine!
