If you dont want those stripes do a pre treatment or post treatment or maybe even both, dilute chlorine with water till you get a 4% mixture, then just spray it all over the driveways before and after. Makes it look whiter too
I have the same model, done about 6 jobs with it so far and it still seems brand new, mind you I take care of my equipment. Will buy again when it's time. Don't stutter when you say you are the best, believe it and you can achieve it!
Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well th-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.
Hi Ethan I know your just getting started and that’s AWESOME 😎. Right now TH-cam is your best friend and if I could make a suggestion put all of your PW equipment away for at least a week. Then watch every video out there on surface cleaning check out Pre snd post treatment using BLEACH and learn how to mix how much bleach with water surfactant or soap. Surfactant is what we use to help the bleach dwell on what ever your going to clean. I’ve cleaned for about 7 years but this was 30 plus years ago snd a lot has changed so for the past two weeks I’ve been watching so many videos because so much has changed. Your surface cleaner might work better but go slow and even and use bleach before and after. Let it sit for at least 10-15 minutes before you pressure wash and then a lot of the super cleaners have suggested that post treatment is spray and go. I hope this helps and I certainly appreciate what your wanting to do. I think it’s great. Have a great summer and if your focus is on surface cleaning then the GPM is more important than the PSI. If you can get a 4000 psi and at least 4 or 5 gpm that would be perfect. If you want I can suggest a few TH-cam channels to follow if you want to learn from the best. Oh snd that’s not me by any means. 😬 Best of luck oh and get a .com too
Hi. A couple of pointers for surface cleaning. First Make sure you wet down all grass and plant prior. Spray down area your cleaning throughly . This will help with clogging up machine and tip replacment Post treat area, I use a SH solution. Do sections and rinse them than go to next section Going back and forth than side by side.this will help with stripping issues. This will keep from dirt dring back onto surface. Rise area complete post treat area Than do another rinse of grass area Good luck with your business go get em
You get a lot of streaking because of how you clean. If you do a couple of passes the streaks are minimal. I have 2 cleaners the 15" Karcher and a 20" 4-wheeled and they both are great. Used Karcher for many cleaners and still like it. I got the wheel because I wanted more coverage and a faster outcome.
I was going to start my own Pressure washing business but after hearing you say you were the best in the world, I cant compete with that, So i guess ill just go back to my job at the Burger stand!
those lines are not caused by overlap. its caused by running a overpowered pressure washer. Since the surface cleaner is rated lower than the pressure washer it caused higher pressure at the jets. scoring the concrete.
The Karcher surface cleaner without the wheels is suppose to hover off the ground so that is glides and is easy to move so that is not actually a negative that is how it is suppose to function.
Hi! Thanks for the great comparison! Could you please share the connection type between the Twinkle Star one and the hose from the pressure washer? Thanks a lot in advance! BR, Gabor
If you have striping you are going to fast. Slow down. If you want to walk faster then go to 8GPM. Set up. Pulse pretreat and post treat. This will also help with striping
I can to watch the surface cleaner but I got to ask. What is the creation in the background at the 5 minute mark. Looks like a 50's chev bed with like a willys half cab.
Awesome bro,best wishes on the future of your company. In your opinion,do you think that that surface cleaner can function well attached to a Honda 2500 PSI???
I'm not sure if you made mention or not in your video, but is one better than the other with respect to leaving stripes in normal operation? I assume all surface cleaners leave stripes, at least the two I've owned before do, so I'm hesitant to buy either one even though they appear to be about as good as you get out there. Striping aside, which cleaner do you feel cleaned best and easier to use...sounds like Twinkle Star? THanks and good luck with the biz!
So it's all about your pressure washer. The twinkle star is better for me because my pressure washer is very high powered. The Karcher couldn't handle my gpi and so it pushed out too much water too fast and scored the concrete. The twinkle star leave a different streak which is just left over dirt if you go to fast. So The twinkle star is better. Just make sure that your washer's gpi is less that the machine can handle.
@@1obis6 Thanks Ethan, so the Karcher states 3200 psi, and the Twinkle Star 4000 psi. I have a 3000 psi unit, what is yours again? All things being equal, do you think the Twinkle Star overall cleans better and leaves fewer noticeable 'lines'? Also, per one of the other posts, have you experimented with any type of cleaner or clorox pre or post pressure washing a driveway?
@@Bella-hz7nt I have used a walmart brand concrete cleaner and it didn't seem to make much of a difference. I'd say as long as the Surface cleaner can handle more than your washer you should be good.
So after almost 2 years, would you please tell me if the Twinkle star still works? I bought a brand new Simpson and the wand stops spinning after 2 hours after initial use. It's really frustrating to find one that works reliably. Thanks for the video and hopefully you can tell me if the Twinkle Star still works after 2 years.

I went through the same process and ended up getting the Twinkle Star Surfice Cleaner. Great video.
I have the same model, done about 6 jobs with it so far and it still seems brand new, mind you I take care of my equipment. Will buy again when it's time.
Don't stutter when you say you are the best, believe it and you can achieve it!
Compatible pressure, extension rods and wheels! Got it and THANK YOU!
💥 Great to see your self employment hustle. The streaking was because you didn’t overlap your passes enough.
Thats what I was thinking. I dont think his PSI couldve damaged the concrete

As a Floridian, it looks amazing out there
I'm also a Floridian 😊
Surprised that German made device did not performed well, as I expected. Good to know , because I was thinking to buy one . Thanks a lot
It works fine if you have the corresponding power washer.
German designed, Chinese made…😢

Supposedly pretreatment and post treatment are the key to not having as noticeable overlap lines.
those lines are not caused by overlap. its caused by running a overpowered pressure washer. Since the surface cleaner is rated lower than the pressure washer it caused higher pressure at the jets. scoring the concrete.

Check the dip tube on their water heater and I think you will find that it has started to break down and that's what you are seeing in the lines.
Look up a surface cleaner nozzle size chart. They work better if you match the GPM with your PSI
Wdym I don't get it
So I take it you didn’t watch the whole video lol… cause HE mentioned that @6:07
ethan try using different patterns cross flow then you will not leave strikes
Epic last name dude!
hell yeah
Looking at purchasing the Twinkle Star one. I'd like to know how it's held up since this video? Thank you
I can to watch the surface cleaner but I got to ask. What is the creation in the background at the 5 minute mark. Looks like a 50's chev bed with like a willys half cab.
just go across will get rid of stripes
I need an update on the minivan truck but this vid is sick
Thanks for the experiment and sharing! Does the Twinkle star surface cleaner work with Karcher's pressure washer (those powered by electricity)?
2:18 "my wand is kinda short"
Where did you get the shirts made? Quality looks decent
Awesome bro,best wishes on the future of your company.
In your opinion,do you think that that surface cleaner can function well attached to a Honda 2500 PSI???
Yes
Where did you get the shirts? I liked the blue on you best.
Great video. Silly question but what's the point of the brushes if they aren't actually touching the driveway.?
It’s to keep the water and debris in and not splashing everywhere I imagine
@@1obis6 thx!!
Where’s the twinkle made?
Where did you buy you’re shirts
Cool

It's really frustrating to find one that works reliably. Thanks for the video and hopefully you can tell me if the Twinkle Star still works after 2 years.
I don’t use it a lot, but it has always worked when I use it, I’ve probably used it 10 times

did you fix the simpson one? was it just a simple clogged tip ?
@@helsonly722 yes i fixed it
What is you're he rate?
I have a 3,000 PSI 2.4 GPM will twinkle star still work with my pressure washer???
amazon says minimum 2000psi/1.8gpm so you should be fine
Good video 👍🏽How did it go after with the twinkle star ? Is het highly recommended? Im planing to buy this one
get it! i like it a lot!
400 bucks in australia
So you started an llc without experience yet how did you get that started? And how do you approach customers not knowing much
You better not do that to a customer!!
My mom told me that I was the best pressure washer in the world. WTF
Your mom tells that to all the guys

You’re moving way too fast with that one I just bought that one and it’s excellent moves easy you’re moving way too fast with it.
