    Oxalic Acid

    The best advise would be to start weak and keep adding to it until you get the results you want. I just mix some and put it in a pump up and spray it on and let it sit for 5 minutes. If that doesnt work I just add a little more and try again. I use about 6 ounces per gallon for decks. I just...

    Removing mortar tags-third story building

    I always figure lifts into the bid if it is over 15' for brick. I make very good money doing the brick work. Usually 40 cents per sq. ft and then the lift is extra.

    car lot accounts

    Let me start out by saying that I get between $2.75 and $3.20 per car. That is why we do more then most such as hand washing. We use a light wash and wax soap. A 5 gallon bucket of our soap can wash about 8,000 to 10,000 cars. That is how much we cut it. Most dealership cars are just dusty...

    Shur-flo distance

    Ok I think I know what you mean. Do you know how much you can get downstreaming with a inline Shur-Flo? What does a good downstream injector put out 6 to 1? I wonder what you are getting with the Shur-Flo. I stopped downstreaming house wash because the s/h would be too weak by the timne it hit...

    SSet Prices

    This is how I do it. Once you do it long enough you throw out the square foot stuff. You can look and see how long it takes. Most houses will be done in a 2 -4 hour range. I only use the square footage when doing decks because the extra footage not seen can sneak up on you.

    Shur-flo distance

    I am confused. You use a Shur-Flo on your down streamer? Does that increase your chem out put when you downstream? Please explain I am curious.

    Belt driven

    I do not mind gear driven pumps either. Pretty much the same as the belt drive just you have a gear box instead of the pulleys and the RPM's are the same as the belt drive. The thing that is nice about gearbox machines are they are so simple to work on. Give me a engine, pump, gearbox...

    Shur-flo distance

    I actually switched from the X-Jet to a Shur-Flo setup. I really like it. I have the 60 psi 1.8 gpm. Sometimes I think it comes out too fast when applying chems. I really like it when applying deck chems. Much easier to move around and I don't have to worry about a bucket, chem line, and high...

    Delta pressure washer at sams club

    I can usually get a 13 hp belt drive for $1200. How much do you pay for the direct drives? If you want 13 hp 3000 ish psi and 3.8 to 4.0 gpm cold water machine it is best to buy them preassembled. If you want anything bigger you are better off bulding it yourself. For $1600 brand new(less...

    Delta pressure washer at sams club

    It was mainly due to not opening the shutoffs on the water tank. Plus it was over the course of 4 years.

    Delta pressure washer at sams club

    My direct drive just couldn't handle being hooked to a water tank. Never seemed to work well. Just would vibrate so much because of it not getting enough water. I had a pw I bought from Sam's also. Now that I use water tanks it sits and I don't use it. One thing I noticed too, it seems that when...

    Delta pressure washer at sams club

    I would spend the extra $400 and get a 4 gpm, 3500 psi, 13 hp, belt drive unit. Definietly worth the extra $400. I would stay away from direct drive pumps.

    psi on car washing

    If you raed what I posted I said I keep it about 3 feet from the surface. I am using mostly the wind force created by the high pressure to blow off the soap. We hand wash the cars and between the 2 of us we can get a car done in about 2 minutes.That is soaping, hand washing the whole car, soft...

    psi on car washing

    I wash cars at the dealerships and I use over 3000 psi BUT I also wash the cars by hand using a mitt. I use the high psi because it blows off the soap very fast. I usually don't get any closer then 3 feet to the surface.

    Enclosed Trailers?

    I have a 8 x 16 trailer. I have side doors on both sides of my trailer. It helps a lot with air flow. I also have two roof vents that have built in fans to help pull air out.
