I literally watched this video and the very next day it happened to me for the first time. Thanks for the pointers. Keep it up!

Had that happen to me on a historic church once, old time metal siding, got that orange coming out of every crack on siding all the way down, only thing I had on truck was f9 barq and it done the trick. A little tip for you is go buy one of those battery powered sprayers. You can screw the bottle of rust aid or f9 barq on to bottom of it and spray your chem 2 almost 3 stories and will save your forearm on those bigger jobs. Comes in quick and handy for touch up

Yo just got a call-back about this on vinyl siding, and have to head there tomorrow, I think you just saved my head man! Thank you!

Great video. Ive had this happen before and rust aid or aluminum brightener fixes it every time. I always thought it was iron deposits in the water that sticks to the vinyl windows that are so worn out its absorbs it like a sponge and sh makes it visible . The handful of times it happened to me I was hooked up to well water.

We've had customers with lots of iron in their water, once you applied SH to the house it would flash off and have rust marks all over. Acid always did the trick for us as well.

Thanks for the tip! Ive seen it in the stores but never bought any. Definitely gonna throw some on the rig! Thanks JD!

I always keep rust aid on the truck. Great tip man.

This also works for the orange streaks that come out of weep holes.

Nice

Aluminum Brightner from NAPA also works. 👍 Good stuff Joe.

Great info right here.

Thanks for the tip.

Never knew rust aid worked for that. I’m going to keep on the truck now

wish I could respond with pics had to do same Saturday worked fantastic thanks joe

Happens to me on a specific area of my town. Iron deposit in the water I think? F9 Barc does the trick for me. I also found that I have to empty buffer tank otherwise it will happen on the next house.

Joe - Great tip brother! I will surely buy some Rust Aid (or similar) since I've experienced this unexpected oxidation horror first hand. BTW - Austin Davis just gave you huge props for being one of his gurus. Also... Wondering who makes your skids? Doesn't look like Cody at SE or Brian from All Clean in Virginia. Who's your go-to source for skids if you don't mind sharing? I've been power washing out of a vans for years in PA but want to move on up to a proper skid on a solid 3/4 ton super duty truck. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Lastly... that super pump is mind blowing - makes stucco work look easy. Best to you & for your team. Steve D, PA

Genius!

Was this house on a well? Every time I've seen this it was iron in the water that seems to be drawn out by the SH. The siding usually hides it better than the white window frames can. Downstreamed oxalic to fix every time and then drained the tank. Could always see the brownish colour to the water when draining.

Type in: “vinyl siding turned orange“ and you will run down a rabbit hole… Dozens online forums. Nobody actually seems to know what the heck causes it. Some people say this, some people say that. I had this happen on a building last year. White vinyl. Really old siding. And it turned the whole building orange two times over! I had to buy 4 gallons of rust aid. I fixed it once… And it actually turned orange within two weeks. And I had to go back and fix it again😮 it’s odd, cause I never had it happen before. And this was done in the fall when everything was pretty cold. And I was only using 1.5% 😊

Joe, can you make more videos of the super pomp? I'm very interested in that new tool. Thank you

Joe the theory I have on this topic is that it’s a malfunction in the sh percentage dial. I think it’s spitting out a higher ratio than intended. I could be wrong though.

I had this last week on old white painted wood! First time it happened, but I knew exactly what it was and it went away with F9 Barc. Still curious as to what causes it!? It happened to wood and window trim on only certain sections, but the north side only.

Usually, believe it or not, give it a couple days with some sun and it goes away without touching it. I see around here and I just wash as usual and never had a problem, I’ll tell the customer it will go away….never had a call back. It’s only with a]certain older vinyl windows that do it….like in the 90’s from what I gather around my area. Rust aid works too….

Worked great!!! Although the next day it came back. any thoughts ?

Cleaned some siding today that was badly oxidized, as it dried water came out the weep holes and left streaks of oxidation that dried all over. I tried to set expectation prior but perhaps didn't do a good enough job as they were not pleased, any suggestions?

I believe Mike had a video on this before.

....here in a flash and gone without a trace...

Joe, that will etch the glass.

Happens to my house every year when I wash it. I just leave it and it goes away in a few days.

How about oxalic acid will that work

I had a whole house do that

It is sooooooo much cheaper to mix oxalic acid bulk ordered with water and keep in A pump up sprayer. Order 10lbs powder online will last me all season vs a rust aid 16 per gallon. Can mix a gallon for Pennie’s with oxalic acid powder.
