hey it's mike with all-american down in Savannah Georgia and today we are going
to be using the brand-new soft wash rig to wash this ugly roof it's not that bad
but it's ugly enough to wear the homeowner wants to get it done
and Mack is getting ready this is the new soft wash 12-volt system with a 7.5
gallon ever flow pump it's got a deep-cycle marine battery that is also
being charged with a solar panel we've got a proportion or valve on the side
that's got one tube going into the water the other going into the chemical and of
course a soap bucket we're gonna get started and it's a simple as this which
Mac is filling up the temporary soap that's good and we are gonna use lemon
cling which does a great job at masking the bleach smell and thickening up as a
surfactant so we are gonna pour that in yeah it's a family day we got Milo and
Millie we got Matthew who I woke up so he can
help water McKenna is gonna be the camera girl and the dog walker so let's
get started we're gonna work from the top down this is a new system so we are
kind of honing it in with what tips work best it seems to be working pretty good
I think we need to adjust some of the tip view is making sure everything is
watered Mack is about to start this next section
so it seems to be working good it definitely does not have the power of a
gas but it's allowing us to regulate and proportion the chemical
go back around here and see how this looks that looks really good I don't see
but a couple spots that we're gonna have to retreat they're easy pretty nice
pretty nice
all right so we learned a couple things today Mac did I learned some things as
well but what we also learned is that those soft wash Lance's are not as
durable as pressure washing ones so this was something new that Mac had used for
the first time and unfortunately they are cheap they are brittle and it broke
fortunately we were able to cobble together another one so it could be like
me anyway we're able to cobble together a wand with some of the parts that we
had on the trailer so we were able to finish the job the back looks
outstanding it will continue to clean with every rainfall we do not rinse I
know some folks do rinse but we do not rinse we leave the chemical on and it
continues to be activated with each additional rain continuing to clean
every single time of rain so that's a great selling point as well so with this
job we did the roof we're doing the patio we're doing all the concrete out
front and we're pressure washing the house it was a fun one live and learn I
am a huge fan of gas-powered soft wash units we put this one back on or put
another electric one back on this trailer just to have as a backup but a
lot faster with a gas-powered one although you can't meter the chemical
that's good what else did I want to talk about we
use that that surfactant from lnh great job soaked up bubbled up really got some
good cling you saw that in the video good dwell time for the chemical on the
roof as it slowly made its way down so that's a huge plus and we also used a
bleach neutralizer on all the grass and bushes around the house
after we did the extensive watering that we did so that is just a little a little
bit of insurance that makes sure that our customers property is protected and
we don't have to replace grass or any plants because it's happened before it
might happen again but with this product hopefully we won't so in a nutshell it's
an $850 job a small little house Mac will probably be done with it by the
time I am done filming this and that's it yep
he has already applied chemical and bleached this entire side he's not yet
rinsed it this side yep the entire house probably in about 15 minutes
has been completely covered in chemical have you rinsed it yet perfect how long
did that take to chemical the entire house it's 10 minutes and how long to
rinse yeah 20 minutes guys then of course he's going to hit the concrete
this is not a large driveway not a lot of concrete but it's gonna look great
what I do want to say guys thanks for watching
