Aluminum Siding?

Question

Depends on "Oxidation Factor". If aluminum siding is oxidized badly, I walk away. Only way I'd wash it would be if it's for paint prep.

How do you wash? With or without pressure? If you use any pressure, you should stay away from aluminum siding. Even with a "soft" wash, older aluminum siding can lose color. The test is how much comes off on your hand when you run it over the siding.

To actually answer your question, I will use my normal mix for any aluminum sized hour that I agree to wash.

Bring back from the dead, I have gotten a few calls more recently about aluminum siding and wondering if this is still the general consensus.. Oxidized/chalky walk away, never had great results using my normal house wash mix and almost feel like it's a dis service to any customer unless they are just prepping for paint.. I called sun brite and they mentioned using a butyl degreaser

Thanks
