I'm new to the business. I normally do Residential. Such as Homes, Driveways, etc. But haven't given much thought into Fleet Washing.
A buddy of mine owns a Billiard business and has a box truck for delivering Billiard Tables. He asked me to pressure wash his truck every 2 weeks. It has always been taken care of. He use to wash it himself a lot but has not been able to keep up with the Box truck.
I helped him wash it the other weekend and used a Chemical I got from a RV Dealership. A friend of mine has a Racing trailer where they washed it with that cleaner. It removed the blackstreaks from it. I couldn't find the makeup of it but I saw a Caution that said "Caution: Alkaline Cleaner"
The name of the Product is called "The Reliable 1". It is made by Reliable Products. I don't know if that certain name is familiar to anybody. But it cost $20 for 1 gallon and I used it all up on the Box truck.
I was wondering if there are better and cheaper chemicals. I have been looking at chemicals from Northern Tool . They are nearbye me so I feel they would be a good choice to buy from. But wanted to know if anyone has had experience with these products or what they think of them.
Sorry to be rambling on so much. But I feel I should probably mention my equipment.
I have a Coldwater set up with a Honda 11hp motor. It has a Cat pump that is Belt Driven. Here is my Injector . Also I have a truck brush, squeege, and other cleaning supplies.
