i tend to find the stuff at the big box stores like those don't work as well as they claim, at least for the pro use.. the results might be acceptable to the everyday general user which is what those stores are designed for..

no worries.. it's all good.. i saw that others would do that in other threads and thought i would be helpful with what i use. i will certainly be more careful with my postings in the future so as not to step on anyone's toes ;) Just a general user over there. it's a newer message board I found of a product I really like. I do not have a website of my own, I do phone and word of mouth atm, and since I was told I have to "complete" my signature which I assumed meant i had to have a link i went with this one. I can pull it if you wish? No problem to me.

i will refrain from offering advice on products i use ... even though i see it done a lot on here.. but it's cool.. no worries....

i personally use trailer mounted.. find it best for most of my jobs.. in tight areas i will bust out the portable gas..

nope not a vendor at all.. i was just offering my advice, as to what i use... as far as i can tell i was not doing anything wrong, i see many people here suggesting products? Is that not something we can do here?

I use a mild acidic clear liquid wood restoring detergent called BACKBOARDS, which restores wood surfaces discolored by years of exposure to weathering elements. It readily transforms old gray or blackened, moldy wood to its original appearance. This stuff dramatically reduces cleaning efforts and time allowing more effective restoration than pressure water blasting alone. Use it and a gentle 500 to 1000PSI flush rinse eliminates gouging, splintering, furring, stop/start, overlapping marks and deep injections of water into the vulnerable wood fibers. It’s recommended for cedar, pressure treated, redwood and other types of wooden decks, shakes, roofs, fences and log cabins. DIRECTIONS FROM Manufacture: Dilute with water as specified in the following ratios: Wood restoration: Pressure washer cleaning: Full Strength or dilute up to 3 to 1 with water. Manual Scrubbing: Full Strength. Mild Masonry Brightening: Full Strength Rust Stain Removal: Full Strength RESTORATION TIPS -Ultra high pressure (greater than 2000 PSI) damages wood fibers. -DO NOT BLEACH! Sodium Hypochlorite solutions soften, raise the grain, and splinter wood fibers. Bleach also forms a film that deters follow up preservative penetration. Bleach and wood do not get along! -Use cold or warm water to pressure clean. Hot water softens wood causing fiber damage. -If a previous wood treatment is evident, a chemical stripper may first be required. Call ETS. -Follow up the wood restoration with a full bodied, replenishing wood preservative. APPLICATIONS Wood Restoration: Sweep or brush surface to be cleaned. Dampen wood surfaces with a water spray Generously apply Backboards by brush or garden pump sprayer. Agitate the surface with a medium bristle brush. Allow to set 15-20 minutes. If surface is drying, keep damp with a water mist spray. Gently flush rinse with a pressure washer to reveal a restored surface. If rinsing with a garden hose, additional scrubbing may be required. Mild masonry restoration and rust stain removal: Apply full strength let set 10-15 minutes, scrub if necessary, pressure rinse. COMMENTS: Protect adjacent surfaces and plant life with light plastic draping. Mix well before using. Backboards is a saturated solution of high solids. Store above 50°F to prevent crystals forming on bottom of container. Warm the solution or dissolve crystals in hot water. Crystals will not effect products performance.
