Cleaning Tips

Wood Decks: Rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water. If using detergent, fill the detergent applicator bottle and apply to the area being cleaned. For optimal results, reduce your work area to small sections and clean each section one at a time. Allow the detergent to rest on the surface for a few minutes and then rinse at high pressure. Do not let the detergent dry on the deck. Always clean from left to right and top to bottom for best results. Rinse at high pressure using the fan jet keeping the tip of the spray nozzle 8-12 inches from the surface. Caution: For soft woods, increase the distance from the cleaning surface.

Cars, Boats, & Motorcycles: Wet down area to be cleaned before applying detergent with clean water. Fill the detergent applicator bottle and apply to the area being cleaned. To achieve best results, clean one side at a time. Allow the detergent to rest on the surface for a few minutes but do not let it dry. Rinse at high pressure using the fan jet in a sweeping motion keeping the tip of the spray nozzle at least 8-10 inches away from the surface. Maintain a further distance when using a direct spray. Wipe surface for a polished finish.
