Eliminating "Racing Stripes"

[Dave W 1]

For a Christmas present, my wife bought me a "pro-sumer" grade pressure washer (Dewalt 4000psi/3.5 gpm rig).  I bought a 16" BE surface cleaner to go with it.  I am looking for advice to get rid of the racing stripes the surface cleaner leaves behind.  I did not use any chemicals on this first try.  A friend of my suggested using pool chlorine/water at a 50/50 mix with a cup of Dawn detergent before washing.  Any tips from the pros to eliminate the stripes?  Am I going too fast with the surface cleaner?  This is central Florida, black algae and grime is what most driveways get dirty with.  Mine is broomed concrete.  

The first 2 pics are before. The last one is after my feeble attempt.

Thanks,

Dave

We typically apply chems to assist in the cleaning. When we get the remnants of like what you are seeing, simply reapply a 50/50 bleach and water
(or stronger as you deem necessary) to finish cleaning.
If the driveway is as bad as you see, hot water can help as a future consideration. I know your machine is a cold water unit
but just to put it out there that colder temps make for less effective cleaners as well.
Food for thought.
