Do you simply put the BW concentrate in the jar and let the venturi do the mixing?  

Nice. Now if I could find one that had a male adapter for the outlet I could simply run a bit of BW through my pump to neutralize it.  

I have used bleach wash to keep my extra tips and and every thing clean. I have put thing in that stuff that I new wouldn't come clean and amazed what I have seen when I check it again. I was actually telling my father in law to try it on his boat where the salt water had dried up and left residue.

Awesome stuff.

And I have used the dollup method in five gallons many times. Works every time!!!

 Actually Doug I have considered repackaging Bleach Wash as a marine friendly, bio degradable, boat soap for washing your boat while its in the docking slip. You can discharge Bleach Wash completely leagally into the water.

Great advice Doug!

Even though I wear gloves, I sometimes get some of the solution on my hands and then I can't keep enough lotion on hand to keep them from drying and cracking.  In the past I've kept a little squirt bottle of hydrogen peroxide, but the BW would make more sense, I assume.

Using a pump-up to touch up the windows sounds like another time saver too if I didn't want to use the hose-end sprayer listed above.  Might use both though. the hose end for lower story windows and the pump up for 3rd story windows.  We'll experiment.

Thanks for the great advice, as always y'all.  

Why is a hose end sprayer recommened rather than just running it through the pump like we apply the SH?

 You would never want to accidentially get Bleach Wash into your mix.

Now you got me thinking....would it be a good idea to have a dedicated pump for the BW.....or will flushing out the hose after applying the BW be enough before using the SH again ???

What ratio is bleach wash mixed to water in the hose end sprayer?

Thanks man!

Hello again,
I recently bought a bucket of "post wash" and Im wondering what the mix ratio is. I was told on the phone that its the same formula as "final wash" so it should go on at 1 oz per gal, but the directions say 4 oz per gal. Whats the actual ratio? Im figuring on a happy medium...say 2 oz per gal?

 I'm not familiar with "Post Wash".  From your description, sounds like another imitation of a SoftWash Systems product, "Final Wash".

At least with Final Wash, I don't think the "neutralizing effect" changes much when you use more, you just get more soap and wax. So for rinsing out your pump, use 1oz per gallon, for washing a really dirty truck or trying to make a gas station canopy really shine, use a little more. All of these ratios are starting points, and you will learn to adjust up and down depending on what you want to do. I would imagine that stuff is the same.

Personally, while I know there are other products out there that are cheaper, I don't even bother looking or trying them any more. I only actually tried one other soft washing product once, and it was not as good, even though they told me it was "the same formulation as AC's stuff." It's just easier to just use the SWS products in their manufacturer recommended ratios. This goes for equipment, too. I would rather be out selling a job or marketing my business then messing around with different chemicals or tinkering with equipment.

In the beginning you have mess around with some of this stuff, it helps you learn. But eventually you just want your chemicals, equipment, tools, etc. to be things you don't have to think about, just things you use to run your business and make money. That is one of the things that gives the SWS network value. The way I see it, it is AC's job (and David, Whitney, etc.) to come up with the best premium products. They charge a premium price for those products, but in turn it makes it easier to run my business, and I can charge a premium price for my service, so it's worth it. That's why I don't drive an hour to Milwaukee for cheaper equipment and chemicals, but pay to have more expensive stuff shipped from Florida, California, and New Jersey.

Also keep in mind if you want to be SWS Certified/Authorized, using the recommended products is required.
