Checking Out The Chem-X 2 Step Stars & Strips in MA. I didn't mention my results in the video but I can tell you it is a great product to use even with COLD WATER. Had to Brush these trucks first because they haven't seen a bath in YEARS!
I'm thinking about getting into fleet washing. This will be my 3rd year house washing and doing well, but I live in Wisconsin and can only wash 8 months out of the year.
Where I work we wash year round In canada We use hot water About 240 Fahrenheit all year round, with zep tnt truck wash high pressure soap. We have trucks like the Freightliner you're washing Non cdl with about a 1000 gallons of water and 55 gallons of soap plus 4 to 6 buckets of soap
I spray purple power on the heavy dirty areas first. Especially on the top front. Dilute it tho because full strength can knock the paint off box trucks
the step 1 can't sit in that foam cannon....i've learned the hard way. I bought this setup to test on personal vehicles to see if i wanted to add fleet washing to my business.
@@SoftWashFactory yes I cut the step 1 per Bob’s recommendations and left the un used in the foam cannon. Next time I went to use it the acid in step 1 corroded the filter in front of the foam cannon. Had to take the nozzle apart and clean the filter out.
@@Pedroluvslupe from my experience the step one corrodes the filter mesh on the front of the foam cannons he has. I use it to with great success. Not rinsing the nozzle is the issue for me.
@@SoftWashFactory okay help me out then how many gallons per minute should I get in what size minimum tank should I have trying to save money from going to the Blue Beacon and load a tank and equipment in my SUV and wash my semi truck please let me know thanks
@@jonplay3602 I generally use about 20 gallons of water to do a 2-step wash on a Road Tractor. You'll probably use 12 gallons of water if you foam on soap and brush it. Of course, this also depends on whether it's a Condo Sleeper, Coffin Bunk or a day cab but either way If you get a 50-gallon tank and a good 3.3-4 gallon per minute machine you'll be good and you'll save yourself tons of money. I hope this helps you
What’s your take on the Chemx soap? I haven’t had much luck with using them. I find myself having to use a brush to get it clean. I could still see road film after using it
I would go for a box truck. This truck is my backup truck. For when areas are tight or need to bring water and use a 4gpm machine. I have a service body 12 ft box truck I use for house and roof washing.
