Pressure Washing Sidewalks
New member
Iam new to pressure washing and just purchased a 5 gpm 3500 machine hot water.I also purchased a touch free car & truck soap from the same dealer he has the soap made for him and has his label on it . The directions on the label state to apply the soap to a dry vehicle with high pressure high temp let sit then rinse. I did this and it left small streaks in the paint on my truck. It did not sit to long and the surface was cool. It also left alot of dirt on the truck. I then cleaned another truck with it but this time i wet the truck down first. I had better results no streaks but still alot of dirt on truck at the end. Are These so called brushless soaps really brushless?I mean this was only road film.On my truck those streaks actually etched the paint! I may be new to this PW stuff but after spending 10 years in the collision bussiness i am not new to washing cars or to what a properly washed vehicle should look like.I have a chance at getting a trial run at the local trucking company but the results i had today would not be acceptable.Is it the operator or the soap? What soaps and application procedures are you guys using? NEED HELP !
