[@RaymondNotario]

Thank you !

[@janpavelkovar5977]

And really neat how you go about the driveway instead of lengthways because of hose management I suppose.

[@RaymondNotario]

It helps reduce visibility of the overlaps where the surface cleaner goes over the same spots twice. Something I meant to touch on in the vid.. Hard to remember every detail when recording lol

[@RaldasDetails]

Awesome work bro!! 👍🏼

[@RaymondNotario]

Thanks Ralda!

[@janpavelkovar5977]

true about the tips, I will have to check mine and replace as needed. I'm going to get SDS sheets. Great videos and details!

[@RaymondNotario]

Good idea, Thank you!

[@mikeschmitt5273]

Great video content Ray. Just staring out. I noticed you went side to side from the bottomnup that driveway with the surface cleaner. Any reason not to do long passes? Thank you

[@RaymondNotario]

So when you make passes with the surface cleaner it is very hard not to go overlap a couple inches over a spot that has already been cleaned. This causes "lines" sometimes. The side to side method makes this much less noticeable

[@mikeschmitt5273]

Thanks Ray

I’m late to this video I just been going down the rabb it hole this week and found you. Best channel I found so far. Question is PATIOS, I live in North Jersey. We have pavement driveways and paver patios, NO CONCRETE !! Can u treat paver patio block with DH ? What’s the best route to take ?

[@pressurewashingwithkoolfel9738]

Love your setup Ray. Just curious about how you keep an open trailer setup covered when it rains, or during the winter months and hard freezes???

[@RaymondNotario]

I draw antifreeze into all my pumps, hoses and reels then recycle it the following morning

[@curtislitsair1093]

Great video Ray 👍 Most driveways that I do, I'll start by pre-rinsing all the expansion joints out and getting all the existing dirt off. It really depends on the condition of the driveway though.. I just picked up 10 gallons of Gold Assassin and I can't wait to see how it works with cold water. Keep hustlin' broski! 😎👍

[@gregbroome6267]

Thank you so much for sharing I was wanting to know why or the purpose of power washing perpendicular on the driveway instead of just going up and down the length of driveway??? Thank You

[@RaymondNotario]

It helps reduce visibility of the overlaps where the surface cleaner goes over the same spots twice. Something I meant to touch on in the vid.. Hard to remember every detail when recording lol.

[@chaunceydixon9329]

The job look awesome but as a guy in the same business, it's always good to throw in a little extra time and effort (the walk way) to gain a loyal customer even if it wasn't in the negotiating

[@RaymondNotario]

The builder got oil on the driveway while working on the property, I told her I would do the walk way free of charge and she asked me specifically not to do any thing other than the driveway. She was upset that they had to come out of pocket over a small oil stain. It's hard for me to morally not do what the person paying me for the job asks. It did get my ocd going to leave it though LOL

[@joshuacalimag167]

I was curious as why the walkway wasn't done either.

[@crazydm7th]

Ray, the part about 4" per 1 gallon per minute for your machine is a myth, I run two 28" Big Guys on a 8 gpm machine all the time with no issue at all, yes we go just a little bit slower but in my opinion it cleans better. But I do run 100ft of 1/2" line per hose reel with 200ft of 3/8" hose after the 1/2". That way we can reach out 300ft per side of the trailer and get it done! Great information you are putting out, keep it up!

[@RaymondNotario]

Good info right there... Keep shining!

[@atticusmccoy6701]

Hello, Sir. I did my first two jobs yesterday. It is hard work! Question - some of my QC's are already becoming a PIA connecting/disconnecting. What type of lube would you recommend for them?

[@RaymondNotario]

I don't know of any lube that helps, but if you get a good stainless steel quick connect it may help your situation. Spend a few extra bucks on better quality and it will be worth it in the long run

[@ar-hmfic975]

Great video, excellent information, so when you used the surface cleaner did you use any chemicals when cleaning or was it straight water.

[@mazman8343]

Great video Question I only can get 10percent sh what mix would you use

[@RaymondNotario]

That depends on what system you're using. For downstream start with 50/50 and go up from there.

[@crazylicious85]

Wow looks great. Glad you explained sidewalk. The builder/company really should have included the sidewalk since it looks so bad now and it was their fault they had to get you to clean it in the first place.

[@RaymondNotario]

I told them I would throw it in and they actually asked me not to do it lol I think they were upset for having have it cleaned over the oil spots.

[@crazylicious85]

[@papychulo2005]

Great video! I learned a lot. I do have a question though. I’m still learning and practicing on my property. I didn’t use any chemicals and just ran the surface cleaner with water. After everything dried up I noticed lines. Am I still able to post treat it even though it’s been a few days?

[@RaymondNotario]

Thanks man it wouldnt hurt to try id bet it would remove the lines

Thanks for the knowledge brother!!

[@justme135]

Great job

[@chrisswartzwelder8494]

Do you run the line off the unloader so it does not go back to the pump if you don’t spray for awhile so it don’t burn off the pump. Great vid helped me a lot.

[@gercast7838]

Hey Raymond, thank you for all the useful information. Do have any recommendation on handling the white oxidation from brick houses, because I really can’t find any information on making the bricks look clean. I would really appreciate if you can give me a tip or links to getting rid of the white look on the bricks. Thank you very much I appreciate your time and help.

[@RaymondNotario]

Yes I do. I would try either nmd80 or Onerestore. There is also a chem called white scum remover. I think the white on brick you are referring to is called efflorescence

[@michaelmckenna4440]

Hi Ray is that a 1/2 hp Leader Pump ,how do you like it for soft wash, can you shoot a roof top. I use an ar 45 /honda. looks like it will do the same job as the ar except 1/3 of the cost of the ar which works for me .I use a gravity fed low 50 gallon batch system on a 2" feed line from the tote. and the same tank overhead for bleach on a gravity fed 1" line. 3 minute refill time and gives me an exact mix I use it for down streaming as well on my other pump....yes its old school .it saves the equipment .I never comment ..or read comments. .and yes I have a metering system ... I just like the process. I like your style Ray....keep up the good work

[@southeastsoftwash4020]

Nice !

[@Sg-bg7xp]

So, how do you manage the water that collects at the end of the driveway?

[@garygodby9995]

Have you always used the generator for the soft wash? What’s the advantage vs battery? Thanks for the videos!!

[@RaymondNotario]

I have since going to the booster. I'm going to have a battery bank and inverter on the new flatbed rig

[@alexness3745]

Great video. I’m new to learning about pressure washing. So you use the soft wash system to pretreat? If I were to start a pressure cleaning company one day without all of the soft wash equipment, what’s the next most efficient way to pretreat?

[@zoukiezouk2278]

What is the model # of that booster pump? Thanks

[@GengisTV]

Thank you for this awesome video! Where would i be able to get these SDS sheets you mentioned?

[@RaymondNotario]

Thanks brother. This is one I bought awhile back. I am actually not very happy with the Leader pump, this is my 3rd one this year and I won't be using it after my new rig is finished. Moving on to another setup that i'll make a vid on when it's done

[@michaelknowsstocks5170]

abt to buy a 4 gpm 4400 psi and a 20" surf cleaner........what tips do you suggest i use?

[@premierpowerwash1806]

Have you tried plugging opposite holes on the bar to see if it cleans different? I'm thinking that having them offset might help to feather out any lines. If mine had 4 holes I'd try it.

[@RaymondNotario]

No I haven't tried that, but i've heard of people putting different degree tips in the other 2 holes.

[@duperosrs3809]

Does the clean water act affect what dirty water goes off the property to a drain?

[@RaymondNotario]

Always check with your local municipality because the rules can vary from place to place. Good practice to rinse off as much as possible into the customers yard. If it runs straight down and into a drain, you can use a sand snake and a 12v sump pump to transfer the runoff back into the yard.

I put 100' on the reel first and then I add 50' sections after that.

Hey Ray, I've got a 40yr old concrete slab driveway, 2000 sq ft in Massachusetts, dirty but no oil stains.

[@RaymondNotario]

Given that you are concerned about theft and the cold, i'd def steer more towards a box truck. If I were to go that route i'd try to cut in some roll up door on the passenger side to work out of and so the equipment gets displayed to the customer.

It appeared that it looked as though you had lateral streaking. Do you not go the opposite way and if not why?
