I've been reading through the posts for pressure washing driveways/patio's etc and also been looking at the soft washing.
Question is - is soft washing with the chems and dwell/rinse a stand alone system good enough without pressure washing or is it really a part of the process for some jobs along with the pressure washing?
From someone who has never done driveway/patio cleaning commercially but looking to maybe add it, i'd be interested to know what the experienced guys think?

Would be interesting to hear the views of suppliers that just sell softwash gear & chems.

Well, it's not suton am guna set up but if I was ......
There's a 210 litre tank on eBay this would be ideal ( it's only for adding the chems a 25l barrel will do ) if u have the space next to wfp tank, rig a shurflo pump upto it and run it to ur wfp hose reel, out the brush and onto the surface, ur wfp tank is running water Into ur smaller tank/barrel to fill as u emptying it, ok dilution rates will be a bit variable but u there.
Once the area is all treated the second tank is being cleaned by the water from the first tank running through it and then u can just switch back to the wfp tank to do a rinse/clean down.
I have used my wfp tank and just disconnected everything after the pump and just gone direct to the hose reel from pump, once finished just a good cleaning of the tank is required.
Little bit different if u planning on going the the honda engine route say.
