surface cleaners

Just wondering what other peoples opinions are on concrete surface cleaners. Which kinds do you prefer, with wheels or castors, or the hover type. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each. And what name brands do each of you prefer.

my whisper wash is great. It's one that hovers and the benefit is that you can tip it up real easy to get those two inches next to a curb that the bar won't get. It's also easy to "hop" up onto and over things.

Steve I also have a whisper wash classic its the hover model and really like it

I use that modle as well and I had it for five years. Never had a big problem. I need to step up in size.

I have a Landa. It has the big wheels in back, you can adjust the height of the spray bar, and it comes with a detail gun on the handle. I bought it for one job and now I own it. Believe me the job more than makes up for what I paid for the Landa as well as the new machine I bought for it. It works well, except the deck is a little small. I don't do small concrete jobs, I only do them if the are a multiple night thing where I can name my price. It makes it a lot more fun to work that way.

Hello Steve,

The units that we have are the hover type. Most all of the flatwork that we do is fastfood, bank, gas station drives, etc. Our machines are 20" and do just fine. Never have used one with wheels so really can't speak about them.

Hi Dan,

We pre-spray the heavy oil spots. Some of these places have kitchen grease spilled around the back doors and on the way to the dumpster areas.

We then run the surface cleaner over the area after the pre-spray. We come back with a wand to remove gum and rinse.
