I got a 5 gallon sample kit from Russ at Southside Equipment a while back to try out to see if I like it and to see what it would do on some vehicles I wash. It sat in the storage building for a while, not sure how long but it seems like months if not longer. hahahahaha
I got it out, mixed it and took it with me to wash some solid waste trucks today. I talked to Russ about how strong it should be, the order of mixing the components and the color of the suds to look out for to tell you it is too strong. Thanks Russ!
When I first tried it, it was too strong so I turned down the metering valve 1/2 turn each side of a truck until I got it where I wanted it to be.
Maybe next time I am washing trucks, I will try to bring the camera and take some video or some pictures.
I have to say that this is some good soap! With the trucks in this condition, this soap makes them about 90% brushless, some parts have so much road grime on them it is just amazing!
I tried downstreaming the soap on them but found a way to make it work a little better than just downstreaming the soap then trying to rinse.
I ordered a drum kit from Russ earlier this week because I had a feeling that it would be some good soap, that an Russ telling me over and over that it is some good soap so it should be here next week, I wish it was here already so I can use more of it on these trucks.
The part that was custom built for me by a specialty parts manufacturer arrived today just before I went out to wash the trucks so I did not have time to give it a try but hopefully I can this weekend. It should make all kinds of washing easier, more efficient and actually save some soap in the process if things work out correctly.
If you have not tried out Panel Bright, you should give it a try if you have some trucks that have tons of road grime on them. You might need to brush a little bit here and there but I have found that to be the case in 2-stepping also.
Thanks Russ! I really wish I would have tried it a while back so when I had the money I could have ordered a drum kit and have it here already. Better late than never.
