    If y'all don't mind some constructive criticism, here's a few things that'll help.
    #1: go to NAPA and get a bottle of machine oil, tell them the kind for putting motors together, then flip the surface cleaner over, there's a allen screw that holds the water bar in place, carefully take it out, there's a plastic washer (or two) , liberally rub the machine oul all over and the plastic washer, because your surface cleaner water bar moving slowly right now
    #2 most hardware stores have a limited supply of pressure washing stuff, find a turbo nozzle (I prefer the black one) and buy it, it's friggin awesome compared to a regular tip, it's made for deep cleaning concrete, brick, plastic, (but not wood because it'll chew up the fibers)
    #3 buy an edge blaster, it's for sidewalks, driveways and other surfaces that have been edged and the blade can easily keep the edge straight and the spray doesn't get blown out the side
    #4, I see you already have a pump sprayer, are you using a bleaching cleaner or ? , most of the streaks are from the surface cleaner not spinning fast enough, so my recommendation is do an initial spray down of the area you're going to wash, apply the bleach and let it sit for a minimum of ten minutes then use the surface cleaner and spray off, that should get most of the dirt off, but you can apply more bleach if needed with a longer dwell time, and maybe a heavy broom and scrub the whole area and rinse again and let dry
    Of course this won't matter if you don't want to do pressure washing as part of your lawn mowing business lol,

    That is the most stripes I've ever seen. There are hundreds of pressure washing videos that you can learn from. First, you need proper equipment and cleaning chemicals.

    Did you have to use any chemicals?

      I did use a degreaser, but I think I could have used something stronger.

      I appreciate the tips. I used a degreaser with a little bleach, but I don't think it was strong enough. I'll definitely oil up the surface cleaner. I'm also thinking that the water pressure was not enough, so getting a buffer tank will help.

      @@YardsGoneWild what gpm is your pressure washer, you may need to upgrade your machine so the pressure matches the surface cleaner, that's where a lot of people have issues, the pressure washer isn't pumping fast enough to properly clean, regular tips are nice for small areas, like cutting in a work area, turbo nozzle will blast through the same area faster with less effort, it can also be used to cut a trench for water to drain, I learned most of what I did from watching UA-cam videos and channels lol

      I believe it’s 2.5 gpm. And I’ll definitely try all the stuff you said cause it can’t hurt. But I really believe they just have a small tap to there house because we had my sons party at there house this year and had a slip and slide and a water pad for the kids and it didn’t put out enough pressure to do both. I could be wrong though. I’ve also used this same set up at my house and it didn’t do this. But I definitely appreciate your comment and your suggestion and will definitely try them out thank you and god bless.

      @@YardsGoneWild I just read somewhere that you should use the rule of 4 inches to every gpm on the surface cleaner, so a 2.5 gpm machine should push a 12 inch surface cleaner at top speed, after that, the surface cleaner speed drops significantly lower.
      Something I haven't used yet, but may be worth having, is a "J rod", it's like having the single tip, but you can quickly change from 0 degree to 25 degree without having to go back to the machine because the tips are all on the same bar,

      Yea I’ll definitely be looking in to that nozzle and j rod if i decide to do another video like this. Definitely appreciate all the info you’ve given to help me out though.
