  1. Oneness,

    The reason I asked was because my brother just finished school there and he has a friend named Shane that has a pressure cleaning business in Gainsville. Shane has a partner and I thought there might be a connection, but I realized, after my last post, that your ages would be about 5 years off.

    If your wondering what the name of the business is I am not sure, but I could find out just for curiosity's sake. My brothers friend shane, is married with a 10 year old daughter; attends U.F. full time majoring in Electrical Enginering; works for the Navy part time, in some capacity, and runs his pressure cleaning business full time. Talk about a driven individual.


  2. Good question, What are the differences between the M5 and the regular X-Jet? Also, I can definitely see the advantages of the 2 to 1 ratio of water and chem. I think I'm finally starting to see the light. I like to have a good idea of the uses for a product before haphazardly buying without thinking.


  3. I read all of the replies about the X-Jet in the other thread, but I still do not understand exactly what the advantages are. I use a downstreamer almost all of the time from a tank located on my trailer. What does the X-Jet do that makes it so useful? Is it the chemical application distance? Is it the ratio variablilty? The reason I ask is that I am interested in this product but it kinda seems like more hassel than it is worth. Can someone please explain in detail all of the defining features of this product. Thanks


  4. I use the Emulsifier Plus as well and I find it to be a good accompaniment with chlorine,which is a necessity here in Florida. I have also recently tried "Ripper" their gutter cleaning compound which works good but I would like to find somthing that works with just a spray on and rinse off method without any agitation.


  5. I thought about the idea of covering the awnings in plastic, but some awnings are very large and that would seem to be quite an undertaking. There has to be an easier way. Besides even if you spent hours wrapping the awnings in plastic it would still seem likely that they would leak in some spots.

    The reason I asked these questions is because I am going to expand more into the commercial arena of the pressure biz and it seems the majority of the commerical buldings here in the Jacksonville, FL area have awnings of some kind or another. I have done only a handfull of commercial jobs so far and none of them have had awnings, but I know that its only a matter of time before one comes up.


  6. I was wondering if chlorine or other common exterior cleaning chemicals can damage awnings? The reason I ask, is because if you were to wash a buliding that has awnings would'nt some of the wash chemical you are using for the building get on the awnings as well. Any ideas on what chemicals are safe to use on buildings that have awnings? I visted a few of the sites that some of you all had suggested in other postes, but I could find nothing that addressed that issue.
