Ok, I'm trying to get an appreciation for what is required to get into VCT strip/wax/maintainance. Also I think some other guys are thinking about it too.
I want to be able to make decent money doing this but don't want to break the bank getting into it. So obviously I want to look for used equipment to start with, and only new if I have to get it new.
I'm interested in smaller jobs probably 4k sq ft would probably be the largest I see myself doing and most will probably be well under 2k sq ft.
What equipment would one need to do these jobs quickly and as easily as possible.
Auto Scrubber? Size?
Burnisher? RPM Size
Buffer??? dual speed???? ( I own a cimex already)
What tools do you need to do finish or detail work???
Mops, buckets
What else.
What brands of wax and stripper are the best to buy. And where to buy them from.
Also where is the best place to get educated on it. I think Jon-Don offers a FCT class....has anyone taken it to know what they teach. I'd like something hands on. I've never done a vct floor strip/wax. I think I could potentially get a lot of this work if I knew what I was doing and if I can do it profitably I wouldn't mind getting into it.
