Storage Doors

Given a bid on washing 237 storage doors - has oxidation. Owner wants them wash so they can apply some chemical themself to help with the oxidation.

Doors are 10ft by 8ft aluminum. When I wet my finger and rub them, the white powder comes off but some of the brown paint comes off too.

How should I bid this job?
Should I use chemical or just water?
Should I have any concerns?

Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Tim your biggest problem is getting water inside the doors and damageing there property. If you use pressure the water will get pushed threw the sides.
www.everbrite.net is the co. they are buying there chem from.
You should use there cleaner to wash the doors.
i tried to make sheilds to stop the water but the doors are corragated, so it's tuff. Then i tried duct tape but it took too long and glue got stuck on the doors.
Ended up brushing them and low pressure rinse.
If you have 2 guy's brushing and one to rinse you should be able to do about 25 per hour. You have to get them perfectly clean.
They never want to pay what it's worth.
I'll bet you cant get $5 per door,more like $3 is all they will pay.
good luck and put in the contract that your only responsable for 30 days after the work is done.
