i bet no x-jet,just the duel lance and he will say it took 40 min BUT he could do them in 20.
Now he knows where he can stand on the plane it will go faster.
My question is did/will you use a step ladder next time?
HF is corrosive so did you use PH acid.
ill guess PH OR SOME KIND OF BIGBOY MIX.

Most all chemicals are corrosive...but not all,most tho.

Counting unrolling the hose and rolling up hose would you believe 15 mins.,when I took the bill by the office he ask howmuch,I was at a lost.I said would a dallor a min. be ok and his mouth like to have dropped to the floor,he said man I cann't afford no dallor a min.,I said will gave me 15 dallors and we'll call it even.He wrote me a check for 45 dallors and said it was worth that much atleast.

If all planes wash up like this one did I think I may just wash a few more,it doesn't take along at all.I rinsed it 3 or 4 times trying to figure out what I was going to charge,on small planes a feller would have to set a price reguardless of the time b/c I want wash nothing for 15 dallors unless you bring it to me.But on large planes I can see where a feller would do ok in making alittle money,the paint is easy cleaned.

O I never use a x-jet nomore and the only thing I used it for was to to blow mud off the farm eqt.

I did too Paul but they drive them in the rain at several mph,so everything is pretty will inclosed that the water would hurt.When I told him I was a little scared of washing b/c of the water he laughed and said we wash them altime with powerwashers and if it would hurt some of the spots they'd be dropping out of the sky like birds when it rained.I walked around the plane with him asking Q'tions as to where and not to wash,he said wash everything,even up under the wheeeeels.

He was headed out of town and wanted to know if I wanted to make a circle around town before he left.I said no thank you,I feel saver on the ground,I watched him take off,watched him until he was out of site.Because of past post I have never washed a plane but always wanted to.The paint was easy cleaned and a plane looks big until you start washing it,it would take longer to wash a 2 ton box van when it would the plane up above,also every little hose whipping while washing.

SAY BIGBOY,

THERE WAS GUY IN FORT WORTH ,ANOUT 15 YEARS AGO THE WAS CHARGING $300 TO WASH AND HAND WAX!

$45 IS OK FOR 15 MINS BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE A MIN LIKE $75 TO DO A PLANE , THOSE POPLE EXPET TO PAY ALOT , MOST OF THEM ANYWAY!

BUT IF YOU HAD 10 PLANES @$45 EACH , THAT WOULD BE KICK BUT!
