thanks Jason . thanks rod.have added you post to my notes and will use them in my marketing campaign.

John Let Me Tell You I Ordered Some F-13 Gutter Grenade From Pressure Tek... Will Never Look Back. Sprayed On Full Strength On Extremely Dirty Gutters. Rinsed Right Off. Cut It To 10 To 1 Ratio Came Right Off!! My Partner And I Are Completley Stoked About This Product. And Now Have To Figure Out If F-18 Is Better/cheaper Than Hd-80 For Decks..

tried PRO-FORCE had use full strength and scrubb to get black streaks off gutters. what kinda process does SIMPLE GREEN entail? thanks

hey john like the name of your company .I'm in the process of creating a cartoon mascot called squeaky. your welcome to use it also ..IF you like it? yea i get TSP from a chem. supply store also .65 or .85 cents a LB. what kinda degreaser do you use?

lol yea just we happen to own a HVLP at the time. glad to be able to put it to further use. really have no probs spending the money for the proper chems just hate the shipping issues. yea! the last comment is the real deal i'm clueless but determined and have 3-4 houses in my cul-de sac to work on. should be alil closer in a weak or two. THANKS Doolittle. bty who's that chick yellin in your avatar? she looks familiar

THANKS Ken i will look for it.

THANKS Ken yea the dawn or tsp is really irrelevant. what do you know about PRO-FORCE? WHATS A CORNCOB? can i use a GRACO paint sprayer for deck refinishing applications? "sodium metasilicate. It has a "scrubbing" type of effect and will lift dirt. In my opinion it is a crucial element in a housewash mix" what name brand is this chem sold under?? thanks again

nope if i had it all figured out would not be asking these questions??? i think you think i'm saying dawn was the solution to my problem i am not saying this? did you get the part about me using straight 12% into the down streamer or did you just see the word DAWN and respond? I've read a lott of your post ken your very knowledgeable thank you for responding. had to settle for a degreasing product i purchased from sams club called PRO FORCE any experience using it? mixing it with SH 12%? corncob?? your a deck man right?

thanks Beth i will be composing a pressure washing terminology thread soon. example: corncob in regards to deck restoration!???????! what is the mold or algae called that affects shingles?

thanks will be adding this to my customer education literature.

what guy?? months of research... 1 days to locate chems... and 5 hours cleaning my partners house.. master of my destiny is worth a Lott more time and testing. what about you?? if you don't have any advice..... please no comments..

no check it out... i'm following recommendations i've gathered on this site. they did not work i'm asking why? i tried one part SH to one part water added tsp did not get the results i am looking for? ended up with straight 12%-15%?? with a lil dawn worked! has nothing to do with dawn..

Ok There We Go

thanks mike i have 13 hp 3750 psi 3.5 gpm northstar with downstream injector. i think you misunderstood? the very last thing we did was inject straight 12% with a lil dawn. came right off. there's no list of pressure washing terms on this board is there?

just tryed to edit sig and would not let me said BBcode value is to large or some sh**? sorry it was my partners house that we were working on. we will be doing roofs also. what is the name of the fungus that grows on roofs? i will upload some pics to make sure the black fungus(?) we could not remove is artillary mold? thanks for helpin Mike and Chris

that is a very good idea Jaime! couple of weeks ago i received a flyer from a PW company explaining the benefits and advantages of hiring professional PW's even had scare tactics on the disadvantages of cleaning your own gutters! but to me it was wasted paper because of the way it was delivered in flyer form. please keep us updated.
