    surface cleaner problems

    I have a BE 24" surface cleaner and was using a 4gpm cold machine with 2503 tips. Was having trouble with overlapping leaving streaks up and down cement. So, with following everyone's lead on here, I added an additional 4gpm cold machine and bought a siamese kit to run them together. So at 8...

    Surfactant and Detergent?

    Bira, I cleaned an entrance like that over the weekend. I used my house mix (SH and Elemonator) downstreamed using J-rod soft wash tips (2510, 2540) and had no issues. Mix your surfactant a little heavy to help get the webs off. On the driveway picture - F9.

    3500 max towing? is it possible. newbie here

    I run a 65 gallon buffer tank with a Hudson float valve, and have a 4 gpm unit, and a 3 gpm unit. Plenty of times I run both of them and have no problem keeping up with water. I also am using an 8' single axle trailer, but don't have any brakes added to it - towing with a '15 F-150 2WD 3.5L...

    two jobs, two sensitive areas

    I have two jobs that I sent in a bid for, one of which I have already been rewarded, and awaiting word on the second. Both have "tricky" spots, and wanted to run by some of you to see what you think. First is a stained wood carport. The walls and ceiling are all stained, and the stain could...

    New Ford with aluminum body

    Sat down with my vinyl cutter and made some magnets to use when I am on jobs or making sales calls. Turned out pretty good on my F-250, until I put them up on my F-150.

    Maybe someone else can chime in and help, but have you tried F-13 from PressureTek? I know it works great on aluminum gutters.

    Looking to improve speed!

    Greg, Here's the one I was talking about. You could possibly just leave it at the end of the wand. I love mine! The reason your other one may not have done the job is because the machine you were using was only 2.4gpm - you can't expect any surface cleaner to do anything with that low of a...

    Canvas / Canopy on home

    I have a house wash I am starting next week, and the customer has a canvas awning on the rear of his house. I haven't cleaned one yet, and I am nervous about even trying a "test" in a hidden area, since it is directly where his pool meets his back patio - there is no "hidden" spot on it. My...

    Fixing someone else's laziness

    I have a neighbor who passed out a few of my cards at his office as a favor. His boss owns a few commercial buildings in the area and just hired someone a few weeks ago to clean one of the buildings. Well, she called me yesterday to come out and give her a price to fix where the previous...
