Junk!!!

I can't find the Decker on Tom's site

Ken - correct Mike - I used my 2.8 gpm @ 2500 psi soaper. M5 works better.

Ken is 1000000000000000000% right. OK - 10000000000000000000.1% right.

I'm sooooooooo glad I just ordered a XJet M5 last week and another one yesterday. (Sarcasm) Oh well, honestly, I really like the X Jet for houses. I have a big condo job coming up in 2 weeks. I figured using the X Jet would make things easier. I washed some big houses this week with the X Jet M5 and was really impressed. I have never downstreamed a house yet. Note - do not wash painted shudders with the M5 set at 0 deg. Even if they are on the 2 story. I'll bet someone here can say why.

If you are talking about E/O year complete strip, brighten & stain - that's what I've always done. IMHO, it looks great when done that way. I also think it is easier to strip a deck than wash it.

Junk!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Tony, both of them put togather. What did you use on them?

V Seal or Super Seal

I'm still on the fence with WTW. It's oil based right? Sorry for the hijack.

What about a lift? HD rents them now for $149.00 for 4 hours. Or call a tree guy.

Good job! Man, I love deck season!

I have to bid on a red brick home with white streaks on it. The home is about 1 to 2 years old. What chem will effectivly remove the white streaks with out damage to the color or surface of the brick? Thanks in advance, Jarrod

Thank you all for the advice. I did not have my camera with me when I did the bid. I am keeping it with me from now on.

FINALLY, I DID SOMETHING RIGHT! Gotta go, I'm calling Brit Hume!

Thanks Rod.

First of all, NEVER ask a painter anything when it comes to wood restoration. I have fixed soooooooo many of their jobs it's not even funny. This might read harsh, but it is not meant to be. I'm just being direct & honest with you. USE OIL. Keep latex & your painter INSIDE THE HOUSE.

when the leaves and other crap is all over you, the gutter is clean! Gym Rat, nice idea about the mirror!

Nice job! That HD80 works good!

I had a builder call me the other day and he wanted me to acid wash a stone chimeny. What chem would I use? BTW - this is on a new build.

Thank you all for the info

My supplier now carries Messmers. I saw the colors today and I really like them. Who has used this product and what do you think of it? BTW I currently use TWP. Is the Messmers similar in application? Thanx, Jarrod

Thank you Rod. Have you or anyone else used it on cedar or pt wood? The colors look soo good. I hope this stuff works well.

Rod, what about the windows? Do you just soap them first, then apply acid? I've thought about 2 stepping houses b4, but the windows always scare me.

Hi Barry, all you have to do is soap it, brush it, & wash it. Brushing removes all of the oxidation so that the new paint sticks.
