I completed a soft wash on my house this past Wednesday and now I have unexplained white streaks? Any ideas what this could be? Oxidation?
hard to see anything in that picture. Have another photo up close?
What machine/gpm are you using? Looks like a rinsing issue. I had the same problem when I had a smaller machine.
What was your cleaning process and what tips were you using? Can you post more pics maybe different angle? Just looks wet to me.

I don’t have one at the moment but can post one another time.
I used an Xjet. My SH mix was about 1% and I let it dwell about 3 mins. Then rinsed
This is a personal opinion only, but I think the xjet is too high a pressure to be considered a soft wash tool. Your picture looks like some oxidation may have been removed, but as others have said, more pictures needed. Just curious, how old is the siding?

I’m using a a Simpson 4000psi/3.5gpm
Stupid question but does it still look the same after a day? To me it looks wet. It can feel dry but still have a wet look. Very few houses do it, but after several days it all clears up or drys up. If not please post more pics so we can help.
unless still wet. looks like an application and rinse issue. 3 min dwell???
I believe this is the original siding and the home was built in 2001
Did you check the siding for oxidation before you washed the house?
I did but it wasn’t anything that stood out
Just a suggestion. @Clean_Blue suggested I would wait couple days and see how it looks totally dry. If anything out of the ordinary, post pictures so we can help you.
Y’all’s help is much appreciated!
