From a lot of research on previous posts in here a lot of guys clean tarmac with turbo nozzle no?

I can hire one . How can fsc be better than a lance as it has two outlets compared to the one in lance

Turbo nozzle will produce a much more destructive water pattern you might get away with it if you keep the lance at a greater distance from it , we always use a fsc and get good results

Thanks lads

Im going to hire fsc...i tried a small piece of tarmac outside a concrete drive i was cleaning the other day and i can say that a turbo nozzle should never be used on tarmac from evidence i saw

From what i see of turbo nozzle on tarmac it could be a quick way to have custy bring you to court looking for a new driveway!

Il be hiring fsc next week so hopefully it works out as im doing a sample and there is a load of it that needs cleaning 👍

I'm doing one on Wednesday with some broken up patches so I'll be videoing it before and after just in case.
