Pool Cage dilemma. Heavily oxidized, painted aluminum.

Just wondering how you guys handle heavily oxidized pool cage frames? I had to cancel a cleaning today because I was afraid of the paint just running right off. I rubbed one of the beams with my finger and it was chalk city. The last one I started doing like that, I had to stop immediately and inform the customer that the structure was too oxidized and everywhere there was algae and mold, the paint came right off. Is there a way to clean these? without watching the paint run down the beams. I am using a soft wash nozzle and regular house wash mix. I am getting frustrated because I am at the point I don't want to even do them anymore, but I am afraid I will lose some driveways if I don't. I think I've turned down 40% of pool cages because of stupid oxidized painted aluminum.

Sounds like you need to hook up with a rescreener who can also paint the cages. You do the prep work for the paint, save the customer a lot of money.

Funny you said rescreener. Almost everybody I talk to with a pool cage asks if I rescreen. Maybe I should add that to my services. Can't paint cause I don't have a painting contractor license.
