What do you do with a unit like this? Is this surface restorable? To remove rust stains would a pressure washer remove this? By time you get to the end of this story I hope you will have a better understanding that to treat surfaces over run by rust, calcium, lime, efflorescence, grease oils, lichon and plane carbon takes more then water. Here at CityPowerWashing.com in Deltona Florida we have learned over our years of experience that the power washing world does not change much except for particular machines and custom setups. Pressure is the name of the game in power washing but I promise you that an extensive background in chemicals and products that can make or break your results is a study in itself that offers satisfying rewards. There are many products and chemicals being produced almost on a daily basis as the commercial and industrial need for effective products on every imaginable cause and unsightly stain grows. Power washing is a great process but when you combine great equipment with a good background and experience in using the right concoction of chemicals for the job. The restoration process for surfaces is easily explained like this. Your peeling thin layers, like peeling an onion, so you can ruin the onion or not take enough off. You should always try a small not so easily seen spot as your test control on any chemicals your going to use. The worst thing you could do is start spraying chems everywhere just to find out your mix is too hot and now your washing paint away. Even some degreasers are very strong and you should make yourself familiar with the Mfg. suggested diluting formulas before implementing it into your repertoire. Try a few spots on the back of a factory near a rusty area and practice with mixes. Take the time to become familiar of the chemicals your using and always protect your eyes and hands and don't let on-lookers while you play with industrial chemicals. There are products today being used by power washing companies across the United States that can cause some real damage and injuries if handled wrong. If surface restoration is your industry then being a part time "chemist" is needed to understand your field and the methods and techniques that makes you just a power washer or a "surface restoration company".
As you can see our truck is an amazing demonstration of how the use of chemicals combined with power washing, can absolutely take a rust bucket and make it like new. Our line of chemicals we utilize makes a difference in every restoration project. Whether it's a gas station, industrial dock area, heavy equipment or even a rust build up near a water source. There is no better feeling in the world when you can successfully take graffiti off or those grease and oil stains in a parking area. Let the chemicals you use and the equipment bring the effects that clients desire. Remember your a power washing professional so bring a level of chemistry to your work and become a stain removing expert that customers will pay for.
