I have a buddy that is EPA certified to powerwash oil/grease because they recycle the run off water. Then use it to clean. Ill probably have him come down from Austin just make a weekend of it.

Not true at all, ive seen many busy shops with spotless floors, even non-performance shops. Some people are too lazy to clean up/organize after a spill or mess. Goes with all types of businesses not just shops. So if you walk in to my restaurant and there is a huge mess and food all in the floor, would you still stay to eat and say its cause its busy?

Not to be a Dick but I hope you are recovering when you pressure wash. I'm not sure if your area is City of Houston, we had a contractor pressure washing our parking garage and he got a 10k fine for letting the water go in the storm water drains without recovering it.
I know everyone does it but becareful...
I can't say **** about the shop, Mine looks Horriable!

yeah that happend to my shop during ike, my boss was power washing the parking lot and someone who seemed important starting bitching him out saying that we cant do that blah blah blah... whats the reason behind that, do you know? i thought it all went to the same place, didnt know the drains in our actual shop were diff from the parking lots.
The reason for it is because you push all the oil and grease into the storm drains. The storm drains goes to bayou's and eventually lead to rivers and lakes.
