What is concrete cream

I’ve read countless posts on ‘cream’ but what exactly is it? Are we talking about the smooth finish on top of the aggregate underneath?

I’m concerned now that my 4k/4gpm will damage the smoother stuff. Should I be throttling down?

Yes the smooth finish.

And in my experiance, 4@4’s tend to strip off creme easily…

Dont throttle down, put correct nozzles on.

Hey :wave:t2:

Give these nozzles a go - 25025’s.

I used 25020’s for years as I was told they are the correct nozzle. However, my 20” is a dream to use since the swap :slight_smile:

They will reduce the pressure and massively reduce the likelihood of damaging the cream.

Also, if the concrete is fresh, less than 12-18 months, don’t do it!
