Real Review: Why Nick From On Top Power Washing Says the How To Wash 2 Course Paid for Itself in One Jo

Pressure Washing Training Course Review

When contractors are deciding whether a pressure washing course is worth the money, nothing beats hearing from someone who's actually been through it. So when Nick from On Top Power Washing in Minnesota shared his honest feedback on Mike Vidan's How To Wash 2 training program, it was worth writing down.

Here's his story, plus an in-depth look at the program he's talking about.

Nick's Story: From Construction Background to Confident Pro

Nick came into pressure washing with a construction background, which meant he already had a lot of hands-on knowledge. But he was smart about one thing: he knew what he didn't know.

In his words, he didn't want to go out and damage people's houses without understanding the chemicals, the correct ratios, the proper equipment, and how to operate that equipment efficiently and on time. So before he washed a single house, he went through the entire How To Wash 2 course from start to finish.

His takeaway? The course broke everything down from A to Z—Mike and his guests walk through every step, with a lot of bonus material included. And the line that sums it up best: it cost him one job. One job paid for the entire course, and he expects that investment to pay back 10, 20, even 30 times over as his business grows.

Nick still goes back to the course when he has questions, treating it as an ongoing resource rather than a one-time watch. His advice to anyone on the fence? Stop asking Facebook groups every small question—what to charge, which chemicals to use, how to mix them—and invest in yourself. The course teaches all of it, and it costs about the same as a single house wash.

What Is the How To Wash 2 Course?

How To Wash 2 is a comprehensive online pressure washing and soft washing training and certification program created by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers, drawing on over 25 years of combined industry experience.

Is the How To Wash 2 Course Worth It?

Nick's answer is a clear yes—the course cost him a single house wash and he expects it to return that many times over. For anyone thinking about getting into pressure washing, or anyone already in it who wants real guidance instead of scattered Facebook advice, the training pays for itself fast and keeps delivering value through lifetime access.

As Nick puts it: learn how to invest in yourself first. Get trained, get certified, and stop guessing—because one job can cover the entire cost of learning to do it right.
