Does Ox-Knox Really Work? Removing Oxidation

- Hey everyone, welcome back to Carter's Powerwashing channel! Today's video is a special one, as we put Southeast Softwash's Ox-Nox to the ultimate test. Curious about what Ox-Nox claims to do and whether it lives up to the hype? This video covers it all-first impressions, application, and, of course, the results.
I decided to use my own house as the testing ground for this experiment. The reason is simple: if anything goes wrong, it's better for it to happen to me rather than a client. Spoiler alert: things turned out great! We divided a window area into two parts, applying Ox-Nox on one half while leaving the other untreated, just to have a fair comparison.
In terms of application, it's as simple as it gets. We just sprayed the product on, let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, and then rinsed it off. No additional scrubbing or cleaners, just a straightforward spray-on and rinse-off process. To give you a closer look, we've included B-rolls and close-up shots, so you can see the oxidation literally melting away in real-time.
Based on my experience, a pro-tip would be to apply two coats for even coverage, especially when dealing with high areas that are hard to reach. While spraying, make sure to use a mist setting rather than a stream to avoid splotching. That was just a user error on my part, but it's something to be mindful of.
Finally, I can't wrap this video up without giving a shout-out to Southeast Softwash. They're doing incredible things in the cleaning industry. From wood cleaners to innovative pumps, this company is leading the way with their range of products. If you haven't checked them out yet, I highly recommend you do.

Wow! Great results!
Many products will remove oxidation, Especially on a hot Summer day.......Mainly degreasers like Purple Power Castrol Super Clean etc.... But also a good aluminum brightener will effortlessly remove it,..But keeping everything wet is critical. Getting it removed evenly on EVERY job can be the challenge... Especially a two story...Not saying it can't be done,..But call backs will be more likely when removing oxidation and it ends up with an uneven appearance. Oxidation isn't dirt or mold,.it is failing material,..No big deal,..Just don't disturb it....I sell house washed all the time with no oxidation removal....People understand when it's explained to them....
Definitely other products to use, this is just my opportunity to promote a business I believe in and have used the product now a few times with great results. The only problem with those other chemicals is that most of the time you have to brush the chemical to get it to work. This is spray on, let it work, and rinse off. Definitely can wash a house and not add on oxidation removal. However if you can add it on and make it look good, the. That’s another service you can have to make you money. God bless and thanks for the comment!
@@CarterspowerwashingNC Yea,..I started in 1996 and removing oxidation is what I considered as part of a house a wash at that time...But after about 10 years of doing that I had enough. Sometimes it was spray on and rinse and other jobs had to at least have partial brush and hands on....So I started just washing over it and no one even notices or cares.....Yes,..It can be an upgrade on house washing,..But I would refer to it as "siding restoration" if I were marketing it...Kinda' like washing a car compared to buffing...
@@CarterspowerwashingNC I've always paid attention to MSDS/SDS information. Usually found on the packaging or even online. Butyl is often the base in gutter cleaners and oxidation removers,..with the addition of NAOH or KOH,..oxknox lists (2-Butoxyethanol) which is the same thing found in most of those other type cleaners.
(I actually buy 2-Butoxyethanol in pure form in (5) gallon buckets and use it to bump up PP for gutter streaks if and when needed. Usually in cooler weather.....Being flexible and being able to adjust percentages is key,..because every job isn't the same) I've seen enough online to see that oxknox isn't always spray on and rinse off,..So what sets it apart and makes it worth the high price tag. Walmart sells PP for $25 for (5) gallons....And can be tweaked with NAOH or Butyl if you choose......I rarely pay much attention to UA-cam videos of miracle products but figured I'd try to help anyone willing to listen,....So anyhow,..good luck in the washing business.
Great review
Thanks man, if you don’t mind sharing so we get the word out for SESW. Doing the videos to support them!!
It worked for me just like it did for you!
Imagine that!
Ill be damn...
“It’s all smoke & mirrors”
@@southeastsoftwash4020 yeah that’s it…
What was the ratio and dwell times?
Dwell time was 10-15 minutes (Sun was drying it out. About a 3.5-4% bleach strength.
@@CarterspowerwashingNC mixed in with Ox Knox?
@mountainviewsoftwash9135 I feel like you needed more pressure when rinsing in your video. Maybe that will do the trick for you. After watching this video did you learn anything in regards to what you did wrong ?
@@mountainviewsoftwash9135 no, ox Knox was not needed for this. There was no oxidation to be removed.
@@MR.TOYBOX I think the wind was probably the main issue. I had pretty good pressure on one side of it where the wind was in my favor, other side not so much. Probably should have waited, just wanted their homecoming service to look good.
Are you sponsored by southeast?
Not at all, I bought the smarty stream and reached out to them to see if I could make a video for them and they were cool with it. I like their products and so why not give them some love. I wish I could get sponsored and have a nice trailer lol!!
Doesn’t it say 1:5 ratio on the bottle for heavy oxidation???Why did you make yours so strong
Yeah, I did a 50-50 mix because some people don’t know how to do ratios, so I just wanted a easy reference point for everybody to see.
Zero - the amount of oxidation that came off every building I’ve tried it on.
Have you ever tried OX-Knox? It’s good stuff man. They are not paying me to say it. I have tried others in the past, this is good stuff!

In my opinion it doesn't work. I used it last Saturday and it didn't remove the oxidation even I had to use a brush. I diluted it 50/50
Might need a little stronger mix, depending on how oxidized it is. Make sure you let it dwell also.
@@CarterspowerwashingNC I waited for 15 minutes.
