Oxidation removal

[@godsgrid]

I've done a few doors at my storage. I put a product in a pump sprayer called L.A. Totally Awesome. Can get that at the dollar stores. I spray, make a few passes with a softer brush (I used my boars hair water fed pole... I'm a window washer) and rinsed with a water hose gun on shower setting. That way water isn't forced underneath or to the sides. I didn't need to let the product dwell either. Good luck sir.

[@Chris72401]

I second this. Cut that LA's Totally Awesome 3-1 and should work great! Let it sit about 30 sec to a min and should pressure wash off.

[@tantaluss68]

I love l.a. awesome since it first came out I have a 2200 lb PSI electric pressure washer Dan want to watch an aluminum home with how does the LA awesome work on oxidation on aluminum

[@ridethepace6005]

Conveniently, the owner put the price over the door. $225 for this one. The next one is $226, and so on. 😃

[@chrisstoner6913]

That's great

[@pressurewashingbysterlingw9883]

Joe we did some storage units a couple weeks ago not doing oxidation. We did the concrete footers with 12 v and turbo nozzle and a house wash on the structure. In voicing my concerns about water and chems going inside I hand wrote a non liability on the invoice and the property owner signed off on it.

[@powerfulimprovements]

That’s a great idea. Thank you. Will add to my invoice

[@jessieramirez7782]

That would definitely be a challenging job! Inquiring minds will be standing by to see if you get the job.

[@powerfulimprovements]

We got the job. Still figuring it out. Going to bring several people with me.

[@jessieramirez7782]

@@powerfulimprovements Wow! Congratulations… now comes the hard part! Your very good at documenting/videos. Please show process etc., know I’m pretty sure everyone and myself as well. Wanna get an idea as to how much you charged per door! Contractors are pretty finicky when it comes to how much they charged. I guess they are afraid of the competition near or around them. But I’m pretty sure you’ll say something. Your work speaks for itself. Thank for the video!!! Oh, I’m in Texas no where near you!!! Lol

"I'm gonna put up an I don't wanna do it price" I love that! that is a real thing for sure, been there.

[@reneaguirre9745]

Gets the job...lol!

[@slim439]

have read somewhere a long time ago, that white vinegar was quite good product to use on oxidation.

[@jamesbass9797]

Cleansol BC Joe. Wet down the door then spray it down with the Cleansol BC using either a pump up sprayer or by X-Jet. Very little scrubbing if any at all.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Awesome. Sounds like the winner. Who sells?

[@kylemercure2918]

Unrelated. I recently downloaded and purchased Markate. Holy smokes is it an amazing CRM! Thanks for the recommendation a few videos back. Thanks as always for the content.

[@powerfulimprovements]

I’m glad it’s working for you

[@PrivateerCleaning]

I had a storage unit a few years back. The storage facility had a company come out and sandblast the doors to prep for paint, my entire unit and all of the contents were covered in sand. At the front of the unit the sand was over an inch thick. Those doors don't seal on the bottom or the sides! When I brought it up to the facility, they basically told me to get bent 🤣

[@powerfulimprovements]

I appreciate that. We’ve got a lot of feedback like yours. I will be adjusting my method accordingly. The last thing I want to do is ruin anything. Thank you very much

[@jasonbluvjbs4]

What did you use for the gloss?

[@pressurizewashingsystems]

Did a black metal roof today, first time. I thought it was just super dirty, no organic life, but holy shit, roof was very oxidized. I kept scrubing with soft brush because I thought it was just dirt lol. Never again will I do a metal roof for 450. This will be one of those jobs I will charge a shit load because it's alot of work

[@powerfulimprovements]

Haven’t done one yet myself

[@glenmorin7563]

Nice bro… as far as the underneath maybe you could stick some sheets of card board to suck up most of the water 🤷‍♂️

[@tomuzagregv.8300]

Scrub away or Run!!! I’d run! 🤣🤣🤣 FYI, did oxidation removal on a large enclose trailer… nope, not for me!

[@powerfulimprovements]

We’ve made a plan. The job excepted. I’m going to bring several people with me. And get it done

[@robertfling6173]

I've given quite a few people the "I don't want to do it" price Joe and to be honest almost every time I get the job! Aggravated all day because you didn't really want to do it but when you look at the ticket it always brings a smile to your face 🙂 But I agree, there are alot of other ways you can make money alot quicker than on that job. Like the saying goes...stay in your lane.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Whatcha gonna do?

[@southeastexterior]

I second that!

[@jimandrews2033]

Be careful with to much pressure if you get it, you never know what’s on the other side of those doors!

[@Alaska610ish]

They leak pretty good all the way around.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Great advice

[@simplycleanpressurewashing758]

Cleansol BC will clean those doors right up…

[@jasonbluvjbs4]

What is the name of the shine you put on the there at the end?

[@powerfulimprovements]

I did not

[@rickwashek478]

Lol, I gave a few of those I don't want to do it prices. And ended up getting them. I guess everyone else wanted even less than me. But at least after it's done it's not so bad.

[@jasonbluvjbs4]

Thank you

[@524Windows]

I would make a 50/50 batch of LA totally awesome and use the 12v pump

[@dylangrantz8124]

Like others have said use a different cleaner. I have used ebc cleaner with great results on oxidation removal six water to one ebc in a backpack sprayer. Spray let dwell about fifteen minutes and wash Looks brand new. No scrubbing what so ever.

[@powerfulimprovements]

I’m definitely trying something else. Where are you buying ebc?

[@dylangrantz8124]

@@powerfulimprovements I bought it at a supplier local to me. It was expensive local. Whoever you are ordering parts from should have it or a cleaner similar. Think I paid forty a gallon. I am sure you can order cheaper. I don't use it much just repairing where a idiot put pressure on oxidation. I don't look for the jobs for sure mostly just fixing stuff for a realtor that feeds me constantly. They are the only ones I do that for. They feed me about twenty jobs a month minimum so I jump thru hoops for them.

[@powerfulimprovements]

@@dylangrantz8124 20 a month is huge

[@rickwinterboer6061]

@@powerfulimprovements I have seen several vids where ebc was used for oxidation removal. All were done w/o scrubbing. Spray on rinse off. One video softwashed the ebc onto the siding. Results were excellent. Full disclosure we have not used ourselves but seeing the process I cannot see why it would be a problem

[@powerfulimprovements]

@@rickwinterboer6061 I’m looking into it. Thank you

Crazy but F9 Barc works wonders on oxidation, expensive sure but id qork it into the quote. Also dwell time is less than a min, it works almost instantly!!

I would not do it with a 3rd party’s stuff behind that door without their consent. You could be paying for everything their lawyer can make up.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely add it into my terms and conditions for this job specifically

[@legacywindowcleaning3061]

You could get a couple “pigs” (absorbent socks) at lowes or Home Depot and stuff them under the door to stop the invasion of water?

[@powerfulimprovements]

That’s a good idea

[@stillXpist]

Cleansol bc downstreamed

[@powerfulimprovements]

Gotta get some asap

My thought is to use cleansol BC

[@briantorsell]

How long until the oxidation comes back?
