    I have not used Citracleen, but heard favorable commnets about it here and there. I use the simple Cherry from bob at PT and it works great. I switched by XJing to DSing and really like it better.I don't like to carry the extra water aruond nor pay for shipping. If I carry the powder around and mix it at the job. I know I use a bit more chems that way, but I don't like to have to mix 55 gal kits, transfer the liquid to 5'ers and transport etc.Overall, I think DSing saves chems relative to XJing, I have used the SC on about any surface, stucco, vinyl, wood etc all with good results.

    When you downstream to painted stucco what amount of SC & SH are you using? We don't have much stucco around here, but I have some restaurants that I will clean next month that are stucco. I was actually debating Citracleen vs SC for stucco, and was going to try DS vs xj on it. I am not sure if I can get enough chems on the stucco with DS. I switched to DS for vinyl last year. Any recomendations are welcome.

    Hey Don, its a flip, but not mine. The area is too expensive and is cooling off. I would be tentative. This house will go for $850,000 but the guy got a good price on it so even if he quick sells at $799,000 he'll still see a profit.

    The quart of truck wash in this case was for dwell. It also has some nice rinse aids and a wax in it. I get pails for $50 so using a quart adds about $2.50 to really nasty jobs. Most of the time I can use about 8 oz. Makes the windows sparkle nicely.

    Ken,

    What truck wash are you using?

    Not bad for a first try. BUT... you need to call me. The way your page is set up, the search engines will never give you any attention. I can give you a 1/2 dozen pointers that will make them like you pages.

    Video was broken for me as well. Get off tripod, the 100% frameset URL redirect thing will plague you forever.

    Phillip,

    I hear you are the guru of anything pc. I am building my own site currently, Professional pressure cleaning powerwashing contractor Lexington KY it has a long way to go, but any suggestions from you, or anyone else on search friendliness?

    Thanks,

    Scott

    Just my .02

    Skip the pole, for 1/5 of the price get a good downstream injector with 20% flow, and some large orface tips. I bought a nice extension pole for my first housewash. Used it. I bought an X-jet M5, & I did not have to get my pole from the truck. I set-up a good downstream injector and studied this site like a fiend and now I have barely used my x jet, unless spraying oxalic.

    My xjet has a use, but my extension wand hasnt been used but once.

    Maybe one day it will have a need.

    Better ops does not come from better equipment all of the time.

    It is the knowledge.

    As far as a surface cleaner, you can use it with a smaller machine, just change out the tips. It should still be faster than a wand. Just pace yourself.

    Call Bob at PressureTek.com He will steer you in the right direction, and has great prices.

    I read your post and tried that. Now the HO is sueing me for desroying half of her house. My insurance company wont pay because they say stupidity trumps acccidents....

    I guess Ive learned not to believe everything I read...

    p.s. HO is short for Homeowner. Didn't want anyone to take that too literally lol.

    Windows smartphone withWindows mobile 2003. I can sync with outlook for schedule, and contacts. I can also perform excel functions with pocket excel. I cannot imagine not having it. Before this one which I purchased 1.5 years ago I had a Palm phone. The palm was great too. One thing I liked better about the Palm was the graffiti using a stylus. I believe, (am not certain) the new Treo 700 is a mix between Windows and Palm. Functionality and Graffiti.

    I think it's a trick question. 99 bottles can never adhere to a wall without a proper adhesive.... Perhaps the answer is zero. Now as for the bottles of beer on the floor, thats another story which depends on the beer drinkers ambition. He could have been throwing them against the wall for days hoping one would stick. Therefor it would take at least 15-6packs to break and fall to the floor to at least make it above the baseboard. The answer is obviously >15.

    Siligistly speaking of course.

    Ready Seal is easy to apply. It's forgiving in that you won't have to deal with drip marks, lap marks, etc. like you might with other things. We prefer Wood Tux. Both are popular. I can see why RS might be better for a homeowner to apply. If you decide to go with Ready Seal for your own deck, contact ACR Products, Easton PA - Power Washers, Waste Heaters, and Supplys. acrproducts.com and tell them Beth sent you. They are the closest dealer I know of to you off the top of my head. Back to my coffee... :cup:

    Beth

    Beth,

    Do you know of a dealer anywhere close to Lexington KY?

    Does anyone have a really nasty siding before and after pic they wouldn't mind sharing? I have 100 plus pics but as I put them in small enough format for my new website (no where near finished yet www.integritypsi.net ) that I am building (SUPER CHEAP HOSTING, if anyone is interested, email me ( Integrity.PSI@insightbb.com ) they are not nearly as noticable difference to a home owner. People like us would quickly notice, but we have trained eyes. I have not had the priveledge of cleaning anything like the shed that is on John Orr's site http://www.exteriorcleaning.com/ .

    When I find something like that I will sell hard. If they dont buy, I'll do it for free for picks like that. (If it's as small as a shed.

    I will not list it as my work, simply before and after. If asked i will credit the person whom performed the work.

    Scott has a great work ethic. We teamed up on a job recently. We had agreed to meet at the site at 5:30 am. I am always early, so I show up at 4:45 am only to be putting my Truck in park and see Scott pulling in right behind me. That is one of the biggest things that impresses me. Being on time or early.

    OK back on topic.

    Ditto on that.

    I was surprised to see Michael there that early as well. Most people won't be anywhere that early on a Sunday morning. By the way the pics on Bob's board from that job were great with your new camera.

    Mike also mirrors the purpose of this board- education. He has taught me alot and has a phenominal grasp on business and marketing. I hope he gets to speak at a roundtable soon, if so...Be SURE to bring a notepad and pen!

    Thanks Michael
