0 Pat Norman 18 Report post Posted June 8, 2011 Thanks Ron, that's interesting. Always learning something new from you. Thanks. In new construction Baking soda will remove over spray on Interior and some exterior paints. That over spray on the garage floor near the base. No pressure needed, garden hose might remove it. Back patios might work depending on the products they used exterior, if the paint is fairly new it will come off easy. (usually) give it a try in New construction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Pat Norman 18 Report post Posted June 8, 2011 Good looking rigs Guy! You still just washing part time and running two rigs? Brian, it's not about "Need" it's marketing, cleaning faster & better (IMO) more than 8 gpm machines means hauling water or hydrant meters. Although your higher gpm machines may wash faster, a 2500 sq ft. (Inside footage) home takes about 45 mins. start to finish with our set ups. Plus you "Northerners" don't have near the mold and mildew we have here in the South. Hahahahaha!!!!!!!We did 4 of these buildings (2 breezeways per building) in 6 hrs. 4 guys and 2 machines. .[ATTACH=CONFIG]17327[/ATTACH] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RSuds 24 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 Yes we have 10 gal. And 5 gal. Machines on all our trucks and one with 2-10 gal. and 1-5 gal. With residential it is very fast. Water can be a problem at times. We also do a lot of apartments and condo's that we can fly threw very fast. We did 25 good size buildings last week in 4 days with 3 guys and 3 machines. I like it fast and efficient, just ask my wife. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Guy B 70 Report post Posted June 10, 2011 Guy is that 1 man or 2 men in 45 minutes?? Not sure what you mean D-Mac. But we wash all together, 4 men 1 building at a time. About 1.5 hr. per building when I'm pushing them, and I was pushing that day. If we take our time 2 hrs. per building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
