Awesome video, Coty! Here's how I think about it from a cost perspective: Using 4.5% vs 6(.25)% cuts down on the volume of bleach used by 14% on a single pass, but if you have to hit it twice with 4.5% you use 22% more bleach than 6% on a single pass plus the extra surfactant. You would most likely just be spot treating on the second pass, so it wouldn't be quite that drastic, but it doesn't end up saving that much, if any, when you have to re-apply. If there's nothing I'm worried about damaging with a hotter mix, I just go ahead and use 6% because I personally value the potential time saved more than the potential bleach saved.
Did I miss something? I thought the point of the video was to see the difference in all 3 solutions. Then he comes back and is like "I just cleaned the whole roof with 6%, so long" that made no sense
Great video concept, Coty. I think we all knew the results before you started. I'd love to see a similar video of 4%, 5% and 6%. I've dialed down to 4.5% and have had great results, but think it'd be a great learning experience to see these ratios side by side on a really nasty roof. Great work with all the content 👍
Your video was awesome and very informative. I modified my tank sprayer to soft wash my roof and it saved me a lot of money plus it was a great excuse to add hose to my sprayer as well. Now I'm ready to re coat my roof for winter. Thank you!!!
Why didn't you show us the results between all three? Now you make us wonder if you know what you're talking about. That is what I'm thinking about right now. So we didn't get to see the results, which leaves us to have our own opinions
It's a shame you don't sell the skids to the UK, I have a sws skid. But I would have bought yours happily. Hopefully eventually you do and I can get another skid for my 2nd van. Great Vids bro.
Wish I could come down there and do the bootcamp and get a skid and some equipment. Just been hard financially to get anything going. Great video!! Keep up the good work man!!
I started with an old Toyota and a $789 Simpson pressure washer from Lowes. 15 months later things are steadily growing business wise. I wish you luck man.
Get the license and insurance. Get a driveway job lined up. Rent a pressure washer and do that job. Buy a pressure washer. Repeat with softwash system and so on
I know this is an old question but others might benefit from seeing it answered. You have to know your starting SH or bleach concentration. Say you purchase 10% SH, if you mix it 50/50 with water, you have now cut it down to 5%. If you start with say 12.5% and cut it 50/50 with water, it's now a 6.25% mixture. You can cut it with more water as needed to bring the concentrated bleach down to the desired SH to water ratio you need and there are several excellent calculators on the net if you search Google. The purpose of his proportioner/blend manifold with the dials is so you don't have to batch mix your desired ration in a bucket ahead of time and can easily just set the desired bleach and soap percentage you want and it will automatically downstream the desired mixture with the water.
Hi how are you? I am just starting my own pressure washing business here in Los Angeles California and shopping around for a used cargo van and my question is once I get my van and give you the interior size would you be able to see if you have something fits inside before I go a head and get it from you? By the way I like your work it’s impressive and educational. Thank you Best regards Arees
There are a bunch. The most popular imo would be spray wash academy and pressure washing friends. However, you will never get the same answer from 2 people on how to clean 1 surface and if you ask an uneducated question, you will most likely get hounded by hundreds of guys. Use the search bar before asking questions and you shod be fine.
Where you located? I like the industry and have always been interested. I'm young and really can't afford to waist more time. Don't know where I'm going in life but I have to become someone my boys can look up to.
Good video but anyway so you have many years under your belt can you tell me what I need to do regarding this cedar siding home it was stain at one time and they are going to get it restrain after I clean it but it is really soft and wet should I downstream it or 12volt or just clean it with out chem and use a fan tip this is my first cedar siding home I came to you because you have more experience than I do and there’s nothing wrong to ask for help from someone that has experience
Just starting my business what’s a good pre wash solution to use that isn’t such a harsh chemical and what sealant would you recommend for after sorry you don’t know me and I know you prably don’t wanna answer but I don’t have anyone to ask I’m learning on my own and also by watching your videos thank you in advance god bless
How do u get ratio out of % like I have a 20 gallon 12v chemical sprayer I use and the bleach from the pool place says 10.5% even tho owner says it's delivered at 12.5-13% anyways how many gallons of bleach to how many gallons of water would I use to get the 6% ? And help would be greatly appreciated because I tried my own roof using 2.5 gallons to 17 gallons of water and it didn't really do the job. Also do I rinse it off or not ,it doesn't rain much here and most houses don't have gutters so there will be a lot of run off with rinsing
Hey I got a question. How long would I take to softwash an apartment building that has around 11000 sqft living area, is mostly brick exterior. Would say state of nasty ness is medium to high. I haven’t barley started and I got a deal on the table that is kind of to good to be true haha.
@@southeastsoftwash4020 Thank you very much for the answer! Is it reasonable to offer to do one of these buildings at a good price, for the possibility to score 28 more buildings?
Why did you skip past the results comparing 1,3,6 and go right to everything cleaned up at 6? kind of the whole point of the video i thought haha
Didn't even show much of a difference.
Exactly! Just baited us into an infomercial lol

Yep. That’s a good summary

yeah not good at all, just click bait for his business

If I get another good one I’ll try to do that!
Why did you not show the rinsed result?
Good stuff. Got my first case of Southern Drawl today, I’m excited to see what I can do with a real surfactant.
Your video was awesome and very informative. I modified my tank sprayer to soft wash my roof and it saved me a lot of money plus it was a great excuse to add hose to my sprayer as well. Now I'm ready to re coat my roof for winter. Thank you!!!
Great Comparison on percentage !!! 💯
Thanks!
In Florida I roll 35 percent. Ain’t got time to redo. And no I don’t burn anything cuz I got rinse helper watering everything.

Down in miami we have all barrel tile roofs. Very rarely do we use anything lower than 6% and we have to do several coats. Great vid 👍🏼
Thanks!
hey im from miami and i was wondering if you rinse after you apply the chemicals?
@@damianhuet8437 I do not rinse after roof treatment
Thank you
Can I ask one more question do you use SH mix or something else with it?
Wouldn’t be a SESW video without some brandishing 😂 love it.
Naturally lol
Where are the results? No rinse?
i like the test to show your theory good info thanks for sharing
I learned my lesson about using 3-4%! Now I’m a pyro
😂😂
How much is this boot camp?
one and done mix that what i like
Only have one chance of killing stuff
Exactly
Wish I could come down there and do the bootcamp and get a skid and some equipment. Just been hard financially to get anything going. Great video!! Keep up the good work man!!

Didn’t get a chance to see before and after of results
Before at 27 seconds
After at 7:28
Awesome comparison! Would love to come down in August!
723 wait what? I wanted to see the diff on the roof between the percentages. You skip it n go to " i coated the entire roof in %6.
Great video Boss
Thanks man!
Awesome comparison Coty 👍
Very well done!
Thanks man!
Lmao when you saw the ramp in the camera your head shot around to look 😂 first thing I saw too though
Sometimes there is a SHIT TON of moss on the roof. In the Pacific Northwest it's crazy how much there is. Do you ever use a brush for that?
Good to see the comparisons
He never showed the result!
What’s up Coty brother I was wondering what model of Costa De Mar sunglasses are those you wear In the videos with that OD green color their sick?
I ain’t sure. I’ll check tomorrow
I appreciate it brother
Can someone explain the percentages to me. What is 1%, 3%, 5%? How do you get that exact mix? and what is the starting % of the SH (bleach) by itself?
I know this is an old question but others might benefit from seeing it answered. You have to know your starting SH or bleach concentration. Say you purchase 10% SH, if you mix it 50/50 with water, you have now cut it down to 5%. If you start with say 12.5% and cut it 50/50 with water, it's now a 6.25% mixture.

Not in the game yet.... When you say 6%, is that 60% SH / 40% water/surfactant??
Hey Coty. Great video as usual. You guys good down there? I see the weather coming through.
Hey how you girl!
It’s raining like cats & dogs lol
Hi how are you?

1 3 6 what're the dials for each Kody
So using a pressure washer for rinsing because it's quicker?
Uh - what happened to the resulting look. You never showed us, LOL...
I thought that was the whole point of the video....
Hello fellow SS members, I was wondering is there a FB page or a group I could join to ask questions about different washing surfaces?
There are a bunch. The most popular imo would be spray wash academy and pressure washing friends. However, you will never get the same answer from 2 people on how to clean 1 surface and if you ask an uneducated question, you will most likely get hounded by hundreds of guys. Use the search bar before asking questions and you shod be fine.
hey i have question, do you rinse after treatment or do you just let the chemicals sit?
Can you do a video on galvalume roofing?? Seems like everyone is avoiding those roofs.. but there is a ton of galvalume roofs in my area.
Ever cleaned painted cedar? What the best way to clean it? No Sherwin, lol.
What kind of fitting do I use for softwash reel set up
Boom Shakalaka!!!! Spray that lava!
How long did you let it’s dwell Coty before you rinsed?
pure 100% 6% no water right ?
Cody I just ordered a mixing valve from y’all someone said you gotta have the same size suction hoses ?
Same length, or at least reasonably close. Just don’t want to have water line 2x longer than SH for example
Thanks Cody,
I did not know that,
Would you mind taking the time to tell me why that is ?
I would really appreciate it, please and thank you
Head/friction loss. The longer the tube the more loss and hence less volume that gets pulled
Great content as usual! Them shades are bitchin! Oakley?

How do I get more info about the “serious starter boot camp”?
I dropped a link in the description
Lol, the 1 percent and 3 percent and 6 percent all look the same after you do the whole roof with 6 percent, haha, go figure
How do u get ratio out of % like I have a 20 gallon 12v chemical sprayer I use and the bleach from the pool place says 10.5% even tho owner says it's delivered at 12.5-13% anyways how many gallons of bleach to how many gallons of water would I use to get the 6% ?

Also do I rinse it off or not ,it doesn't rain much here and most houses don't have gutters so there will be a lot of run off with rinsing
If you had one gallon at 10% you would mix it with one gallon of water that would be a 5% mix
