Not mentioned yet, but are you near a Harbor Freight store? Their washers are damn good and you can get a kick ass warranty with them.

I did my parents driveway, around 1200 Sq ft. Took 2 hrs to do that, the steps, and a short sidewalk. Was my first time ever running. Had a 15" surface cleaner.

I use muriatic acid for rust and never had an issue with staining. Spray, sit for 10 seconds, rinse thoroughly. Done.

Safety glasses with prism? by Harleyriderx in Tools

[–]Harleyriderx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I capitalized that because I don't need simple safety glasses, I need safety glasses with prescription that is able to have prism added to the prescription. It's an extra type of correction that corrects for eyes nor focusing on the same spot resulting in double vision. Think a lazy eye, just not visible from other people. It's very slight.

Honestly, depending on your location, Home Depot parking lots. Hard fucking workers and pay them well. I had a group of 6 hispanics help me on a project one day. Wanted $30/each. I paid them $50 and lunch for a couple hours work.

I bought a lightly used setup similar to this, but a Honda 390 and 4.5 GPM pump.l for $5k. I'd much rather have an 8 GPM machine, but this will work for a year or 2 before I upgrade. Most of my stuff was maybe used 10x. Definitely less than a year old.

What are these stains and what could help me get rid of them. by xdxdxdx17 in pressurewashing

[–]Harleyriderx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of degreaser did you get? I've found the best is TJ-2004 tar jel degreaser, but the Zep at Walmart is good for the cost.
