Looking for the best soft wash chemicals to use on a sand coral walls. Please help. Also i am in port saint lucie florida and i need these chemicals by the weekend.
 
im thinking ebc and 12.5 % SH. Dose this sound good or any better ideas?
 
Yes that will work, all depends on how you will apply, how dirty they are, and equipment used that will determine your dilution ratio.
I am running 8gpm machine. I am getting a xjet to apply. dose that sound ok or should i get something else to apply?

A lot of people prefer downstreaming their mix (downstream injector)
but yes you can use a xjet

Yes an Xjet will work, just stay off the surface and let the mix hit the surface lightly. There is an Xjet that has a screw in nozzle that will apply with same force as if down streaming. If XJettting then I'd probably go with a 20-30% mix in my bucket. Don't let your solution dry and rinse really well. If down streaming it may take a few more applications, especially with an 8GPM but it will work. You may want to move your injector as close to the gun as possible so your mix is a little stronger. If I were to downstream that I would use a 4 or 5 GPM machine. My preferred method for that wall would be a dedicated pump and rinse w a 8-10gpm machine. No matter what application method you choose, you should do a test area first before proceeding on the whole wall.
