    Thank you

    • @RaymondNotario
      @RaymondNotario  4 роки тому +4

      So when you make passes with the surface cleaner it is very hard not to go overlap a couple inches over a spot that has already been cleaned. This causes "lines" sometimes. The side to side method makes this much less noticeable

    Hi Ray is that a 1/2 hp Leader Pump ,how do you like it for soft wash, can you shoot a roof top. I use an ar 45 /honda. looks like it will do the same job as the ar except 1/3 of the cost of the ar which works for me .I use a gravity fed low 50 gallon batch system on a 2" feed line from the tote. and the same tank overhead for bleach on a gravity fed 1" line. 3 minute refill time and gives me an exact mix I use it for down streaming as well on my other pump....yes its old school .it saves the equipment .I never comment ..or read comments. .and yes I have a metering system ... I just like the process. I like your style Ray....keep up the good work

      Always check with your local municipality because the rules can vary from place to place. Good practice to rinse off as much as possible into the customers yard. If it runs straight down and into a drain, you can use a sand snake and a 12v sump pump to transfer the runoff back into the yard.

    • @Chris72401
      @Chris72401 3 роки тому

      Sodium hypochlorite does not affect concrete as it is not an acid. It is alkaline and will not etch. You always have a risk of damage, but setting the pressure at an acceptable setting for the type of concrete is key. Pressure sprays, but volume cleans. If that makes any sense.

    What’s the best surfactant can I use for just starting up a soft wash business? Trying to stay low budget until I can get more customers.

    Hey Ray, I've got a 40yr old concrete slab driveway, 2000 sq ft in Massachusetts, dirty but no oil stains. Some local pressure washing companies say they only use water when pressure washing concrete driveways (or heated water), others use chemicals, such as F9 Groundskeeper. Should I steer clear of the ones only planning on using water? Thanks!

    Is that an M5 twist nozzle on the soft wash hose?

    Raymond, i have two one gallon pump sprayers. I plan to just keep oxalic acid for rust on my truck. What’s a good second chemical I should keep on my truck? I saw you use eaco chem hot stain for oil. Or should I have another 1 gallon? Thank you. Also where can I get those chemical lids with the pour spout on it?
