In this video I go over how to Pressure Wash a Driveway using Chemicals and a Surface Cleaner to Clean Concrete Driveways. A couple of things I forgot to mention were to try and use the least amount of high pressure hose possible so you don't reduce your flow from your power washer and that going side to side rather than up and down with the surface cleaner will reduce the visibility of any line overlaps that are left visible in the driveway.

Thank you John!
Great tutorial video Thanks 🙏
Take off flying like a UFO cracked me up!!!
lol when I first started I was putting weights on it to hold it down
Thanks for sharing, keep these vids coming, I’m learning a lot from you as I start my new business.
You're welcome bro Good luck!~!
Hows business been so far? I just started literally 2 weeks ago and struggling a bit 😖
And really neat how you go about the driveway instead of lengthways because of hose management I suppose.
It helps reduce visibility of the overlaps where the surface cleaner goes over the same spots twice. Something I meant to touch on in the vid.. Hard to remember every detail when recording lol
great video Ray as always
Thanks brother
Best channel in the game!!🤘
I appreciate you bro!
Cool video. Just getting into powerwashing. I got a power line i bought used. I need a soft wash pump next.
Nice 👍
thanks brother ! awesome video
true about the tips, I will have to check mine and replace as needed. I'm going to get SDS sheets. Great videos and details!
Good idea, Thank you!
Thanks for all the clear detailed instructions!! What do you use for a degreaser?
Great video Ray 👍
Most driveways that I do, I'll start by pre-rinsing all the expansion joints out and getting all the existing dirt off. It really depends on the condition of the driveway though..
I just picked up 10 gallons of Gold Assassin and I can't wait to see how it works with cold water.
Keep hustlin' broski! 😎👍
Let me know how it works for ya!
Nice job Ray! Keep on gettin it bro!
Thanks brother! Back at ya!
Nice explanation
Thanks bro
Great video man, I wasn’t sure on what solution to use for pretreatment! Very informative video!
Great video!
You have done an excellent job and very knowledgeable and informational. But regardless you should have done the side walk as well.
Ray, the part about 4" per 1 gallon per minute for your machine is a myth, I run two 28" Big Guys on a 8 gpm machine all the time with no issue at all, yes we go just a little bit slower but in my opinion it cleans better. But I do run 100ft of 1/2" line per hose reel with 200ft of 3/8" hose after the 1/2". That way we can reach out 300ft per side of the trailer and get it done! Great information you are putting out, keep it up!
Good info right there... Keep shining!
Solid video bro,I gat you...subscribed
Very very informative, thankyou.
Absolutely love videos like this
Ayee Ray bringing that fire 🔥 saw you on the wash a thon vid and live on the NBZ with Bobby! Can’t wait to see the flatbed! Keeping killing bro NC in the house
Thanks brotherman, yessir!
Great video! I want to do my driveway now. 🙂
Great videos Ray! I enjoy them! 💎
Thanks David
Awesome work bro!! 👍🏼
Thanks Ralda!
I’m late to this video I just been going down the rabb it hole this week and found you. Best channel I found so far. Question is PATIOS, I live in North Jersey. We have pavement driveways and paver patios, NO CONCRETE !! Can u treat paver patio block with DH ? What’s the best route to take ?
Wow looks great. Glad you explained sidewalk. The builder/company really should have included the sidewalk since it looks so bad now and it was their fault they had to get you to clean it in the first place.
I told them I would throw it in and they actually asked me not to do it lol I think they were upset for having have it cleaned over the oil spots.
@@RaymondNotario 😂
Random, but I realized you are in Belmont area... I used to go there and Gastonia all the time when I lived & worked near CLT airport 2016-2019. Small world! Live in Spartanburg SC area now.
Great job
Ray, a great video brother!! The job was well done as well brother!!!!
Thank you !
Good to see you making a video. Good stuff!
Thanks bro, I got a little busy this summer and had to dial back lol
Love your setup Ray.
Just curious about how you keep an open trailer setup covered when it rains, or during the winter months and hard freezes???
I draw antifreeze into all my pumps, hoses and reels then recycle it the following morning
The job look awesome but as a guy in the same business, it's always good to throw in a little extra time and effort (the walk way) to gain a loyal customer even if it wasn't in the negotiating
The builder got oil on the driveway while working on the property, I told her I would do the walk way free of charge and she asked me specifically not to do any thing other than the driveway. She was upset that they had to come out of pocket over a small oil stain. It's hard for me to morally not do what the person paying me for the job asks. It did get my ocd going to leave it though LOL
I was curious as why the walkway wasn't done either.
Thanks for the knowledge brother!!
You're welcome brotherman thanks for watching 👍
Enjoy the content bro!
Appreciate it
Great video, excellent information, so when you used the surface cleaner did you use any chemicals when cleaning or was it straight water.
Awesome video! Great job as well!
Great video, a lot more professional than others
Love the videos ray keep it comin brother
Thanks brotherman 👍
Nice !
Great vid
Great video content Ray. Just staring out. I noticed you went side to side from the bottomnup that driveway with the surface cleaner. Any reason not to do long passes?
Thank you
So when you make passes with the surface cleaner it is very hard not to go overlap a couple inches over a spot that has already been cleaned. This causes "lines" sometimes. The side to side method makes this much less noticeable
Thanks Ray
i must ask what did you charge for a single but long driveway like that ?
I’d love to have one day to follow you
What size is your trailer? Watching your videos has helped me a lot. Thanks.
Glad to hear it Jason, it's a 12x8
Nice job 💪🏾🙏🏾
Thanks 💯
Thank you so much for sharing I was wanting to know why or the purpose of power washing perpendicular on the driveway instead of just going up and down the length of driveway??? Thank You
It helps reduce visibility of the overlaps where the surface cleaner goes over the same spots twice. Something I meant to touch on in the vid.. Hard to remember every detail when recording lol.
Love all the videos, would you know how to get spilled diesel fuel off a vinyl fence? Any feedback is appreciated
Hi Ray is that a 1/2 hp Leader Pump ,how do you like it for soft wash, can you shoot a roof top. I use an ar 45 /honda. looks like it will do the same job as the ar except 1/3 of the cost of the ar which works for me .I use a gravity fed low 50 gallon batch system on a 2" feed line from the tote. and the same tank overhead for bleach on a gravity fed 1" line. 3 minute refill time and gives me an exact mix I use it for down streaming as well on my other pump....yes its old school .it saves the equipment .I never comment ..or read comments. .and yes I have a metering system ... I just like the process. I like your style Ray....keep up the good work
Have you always used the generator for the soft wash? What’s the advantage vs battery? Thanks for the videos!!
I have since going to the booster. I'm going to have a battery bank and inverter on the new flatbed rig
New subscriber here. Great Video Ray!! Please help me!!! When you say your bringing your SH from 12 to 2-3% how in the hell do you calculate that?? Please forgive my ignorance
10% SH mixed 1/2 SH to 1/2 H20 becomes 6% SH and so on and so forth. Hope that helps.
Hello, Sir. I did my first two jobs yesterday. It is hard work! Question - some of my QC's are already becoming a PIA connecting/disconnecting. What type of lube would you recommend for them?
I don't know of any lube that helps, but if you get a good stainless steel quick connect it may help your situation. Spend a few extra bucks on better quality and it will be worth it in the long run
Hey Ray, love your educational videos, great job, just a quick question.
What kind of softwash system do you use with your car remote control is so crazy I love it, and what do you think about the air pressure softwash system?
Good day.
Thanks brother. This is one I bought awhile back. I am actually not very happy with the Leader pump, this is my 3rd one this year and I won't be using it after my new rig is finished. Moving on to another setup that i'll make a vid on when it's done
Do you run the line off the unloader so it does not go back to the pump if you don’t spray for awhile so it don’t burn off the pump. Great vid helped me a lot.
Still uploading Ray? Love following you. Missing a new video.
Ray, Great tutorial, as usual Sir! Here in NJ, weather and security always a concern, want your thoughts-- Growing from 8ft truck bed to a new trailer build next season--would you look at open or Enclosed trailers if your were in my shoes? Rich
Given that you are concerned about theft and the cold, i'd def steer more towards a box truck. If I were to go that route i'd try to cut in some roll up door on the passenger side to work out of and so the equipment gets displayed to the customer.
@@RaymondNotario Thanks Ray....good suggestion...
Great video Ray. I have a question though man. How has that slo mo been treating you? I recall you speaking about surfactants you wanted to try in the past.
I switched over to southern draw from south east soft wash. It rinses off easy and has a good scent to it.
Great video! I learned a lot. I do have a question though. I’m still learning and practicing on my property. I didn’t use any chemicals and just ran the surface cleaner with water. After everything dried up I noticed lines. Am I still able to post treat it even though it’s been a few days?
Thanks man it wouldnt hurt to try id bet it would remove the lines
Ray baby
Hey ray I’m looking into this business for next year can you make a video about why you like a booster pump vs 12v ?
I'll try to add that in my next vid!
@@RaymondNotario that would be awesome !! I’ll keep an eye out for it .
Thanks
Hey Raymond, thank you for all the useful information. Do have any recommendation on handling the white oxidation from brick houses, because I really can’t find any information on making the bricks look clean. I would really appreciate if you can give me a tip or links to getting rid of the white look on the bricks. Thank you very much I appreciate your time and help.
Yes I do. I would try either nmd80 or Onerestore. There is also a chem called white scum remover. I think the white on brick you are referring to is called efflorescence
Good good video amigo good job 👏
Gracias my brother
How can contact with you
Hey ray idk why I’m watching this rn...lol....but here I am!
Confused about your tip explaining tho...don’t you have 4 tips/1 bar?
Correct me if I’m wrong but 4 tips, rated 4GPM, isn’t that surface cleaner rigged for 16GPM at that point? If it was 2 tips, I’d use the 45 degree, 2.5gpm. It equal 5gpm total but, matched with the 45 degree tip its a beautiful combination (I think that’s what I have at least...)
Sub 4 sub? 😂
I plugged 2 of the 4 because I think that 2 tips works better than 4 and its also 2 less tips to clog. I run 2504x2 which is matched to 8gpm.
"Pretreat separates men from the boys" EXACTLY! Yesterday I had a Chuck in a truck come up to me while I was pretreating and talking to the client and he said "OMG, You use chemicals!?! I never use chemicals, that's crazy" Of course he was trying to hate on me in front of my client so as he was unloading his Super Bad A** Dewalt 4000 psi unit from his truck to do the neighbors driveway I called him out and told him to only do 1/2 of his clients driveway and I would do the 2nd half. Whoever had the cleanest section got the whopping $65 that he was charging. Lol, I hated to work so easily for that little bit of money but I HAD to show my client how inexperienced this guy was especially since my charge was $199 for the same size driveway. Here's the best part.... I told him that I wont use my 8gpm and I wont use his Big Beast unit, I Guaranteed that my section of his clients driveway would be at minimum just as clean as his but probably better and I would ONLY use my air diaphragm system and NOTHING else. No surface cleaner, no pressure washer! Only 90-100 psi. to clean and rinse. LET THE GAMES BEGIN! As I watched him move super slow with his red home depot surface cleaner (not knocking it, only his ego), he made multiple passes on every inch of his section, making sure that he had Zero striping going on even though we both knew that this attempt is the most attentive cleaning that hes ever done. "Alright...Beat that he said, hahaha".
Well...I cranked up the air compressor, set my mix super hot (SH cranked all the way up, Water dialed down to 1, and Slo Mo surfactant at 3). I laid down 2 layers of pure heat. "You smell that Chuck"? "Its Robert, not Chuck he said. Lol. Oh okay Chuck (in a truck). "Man the smell is killing us over here" he said. I've gotta admit, it was burning nose hairs on him I'm sure. Lol. Anyways, as i was letting that beautiful layered heat blanket dwell on the concrete, I had to point out a few things i noticed on his part of the surface. Like...the skim coat missing in multiple areas. How did that happen? Oh uh uh, that's what happens when you deep clean concrete. Hmmm okay. "Did you hear that? I asked my client that was awaiting the results of the contest. I pointed out that my clients driveway didnt do that, maybe I didnt "deep clean" it enough. Idiot! Approx 15-20 mins dwell time goes by so now it's time to rinse. No pressure washer, only my soft wash set up (1/2" All Flo). 15 mins of rinsing and the contest was over. Night and day difference, He couldn't say 1 word besides, I never knew chemicals could clean so well. I must admit that ole ROBERT surprised me, as I was rolling hoses after finishing the house wash part of my cleaning, he walked up to me, stuck his hand out to say thank you and in his hand he had 3 - 20s and a 5 balled up. He actually paid up on his loss of the bet. I gave him $45 back and said use this to buy you a few gallons of 12.5%.
Moral to the story... Professional Knowledge = Professional Results.
Long story but every bit of it true.
Great video. I’m new to learning about pressure washing. So you use the soft wash system to pretreat? If I were to start a pressure cleaning company one day without all of the soft wash equipment, what’s the next most efficient way to pretreat?
I just saw you on that interview with Bobby
The NBZ haha
Very good explanations. Do you have links where to order the degreaser? Thanks, Tom
Ray, Local NC guy here. Do you have any recommendations on breaking into the post construction market? Thanks.
Great job Raymond! Where can I get a goat wrench ? Thanks
Great video 👍
Thank you for this awesome video! Where would i be able to get these SDS sheets you mentioned?
By law the supplier has to have them available. Some mail them with the product others you'll need to get through email or online.
@@RaymondNotario Ok thanks!
Great bideo
Love your content! Can you recommend a chemical for cleaning a greasy sidewalk in front of an Italian restaurant?🙏🏽
I would either use Hot Stain Remover from Eaco Chem or I'd mix up 3 gallons of water and 1lb of Sodium Hydroxide in a bucket. (Always add the beads to water, don't add water to the beads)
So, how do you manage the water that collects at the end of the driveway?
What happend to the videos! Miss watching your videos! Hope all is well!👊
Have you tried plugging opposite holes on the bar to see if it cleans different? I'm thinking that having them offset might help to feather out any lines. If mine had 4 holes I'd try it.
No I haven't tried that, but i've heard of people putting different degree tips in the other 2 holes.
As far as a water source do you use the customers water or carry a large tub of water trying to help my son get his own side hustle together but having to learn myself to help him
I have been doing a ton of research these past 5 days looking to break into the industry and start a side hustle on my days off from work in the oilfield. Does anyone suggest the best items I should invest in to get off on the right foot with a $4,000 budget? All answers are greatly appreciated!
Theres a rig vid on the chan that may help Lennon
Great video Question I only can get 10percent sh what mix would you use
That depends on what system you're using. For downstream start with 50/50 and go up from there.
I have a question. What do you do with the wastewater when cleaning concrete driveways? Do you let it run off in storm drain or do you pick it up and prevent it from going into drain?
