Yeah itâs different for sure. The dark gray building has a gym behind the garage door I believe and the rest of it is the pool house. You donât even want to know about roof pitches in my area. Theyâre literally death traps.
Out of curiosity, are the painters coming back after you clean? I donât know how you can clean that concrete and mortar splatter off without discoloring the paint on the sides.
Just to check and get feedback from you on how to tackle some of this:
The dust I wouldnât be concerned about, but I wouldnât scrub concrete dust as it has fine particles in it that will scratch everything. I would âfloodâ it off the surfaces that scratch easily like those window frames then microfiber towel it flipping my towel often. Is that what you are planning? For the sides where the concrete splatter is at I would think most chemicals would fade some of that newer paint, and any scrubbing would remove paint/scuff it. I havenât done concrete splatter removal on paint, just checking for future knowledge. Iâve done some experimenting at my house and have found concrete dust will put fine scratches in shiny metal surfaces if scrubbed, but I am not an expert PW. Looking to learn something here.
Youâre spot on about the dust. It will definitely scratch things (not to mention itâs horrible for your respiratory system) and my plan is basically exactly what you stated. The mortar splatter easily flaked off with my fingernail so Iâm hopeful that a good soak with surfactant will loosen it enough to rinse away. If not, I have some chemicals to get it off but Iâll have to address that with the customer if that does happen. My thoughts are the paint is very new and very smooth so I donât believe the splatter has much to adhere to. Weâll find out I guess.
I rinse them off with the x jet first to remove all the loose dust and debris. If thereâs chunks of stuff stuck to it can use to up to 1000 psi to shoot off. The problem with solar panels is they look like crap after they dry if you just use even a wfp and di water. I do the step above and then use Titan Solar Gleam (special soap for solar panels) spray it on (I use my battery portable sprayer) agitate and then rinse off with DI water for spot three finish. For some reason if you donât use that stuff they always look like dirt comes right back after itâs dry, this makes it so it does not look like that. Also, just buy the quart size you literally need just one small cap full for a gallon. I can clean about 10-12 panels with 4 gallons. A cap full is 1/4 oz. so one oz per 10 panels.
