I like that - 300 hours and not a scratch on it. It's really not that hard to take care of stuff, just a little common sense, a little mental effort during operation and a small effort when the projects are completed. Then you're rewarded with equipment that looks new still. You're also correct in keeping the resale value. Using the equipment in ways that it was not designed for is not good. So far, in the last 5 years, I've not seen you do that. I have seen that on a few other channels I watch. Thanks for the update at Cliff's property. It is looking nice, the grass is growing nicely. Kudos for the nice job there. I also really enjoyed the work on your sister's drive. Wasn't that shed delivery trailer awesome! Wow! Thanks Mike, loved today's video, as always!👍🚜❤🇺🇸

Great video Mike! I have been using one now for awhile and use it for everything. For equipment, I use a stronger soap to cut through the dirt and grime. I then use the foam cannon to apply wax for extra protection. Works great and I did a video on it, if interested.

@StratOvation 2 жыл бұрын

Good info again Mike! I've been cleaning the vehicles for a few years using about the same approach. Definitely good advice to get a good quality foam cannon to start, I tried a couple of the super cheap plastic cannon's 1st and they just don't work well or hold up, a solid brass cannon with the adjustability you point out is where you want to start. I can also vouch for Chemical Guy's detergents, I use the purple for vehicles and the degreaser they make is awesome too, they are a bit pricey compared to others, but they are super concentrated so you really don't need much in a bottle to perform very effectively. A gallon jug of the purple car wash lasts me 2 years+. Hoping everyone is doing well and BTW, Cliff is one lucky dude to have you as a neighbor, amazing work on his project, for sure!

I live in a small town in southern Idaho in the middle of farm country (not a farmer, but as a former resident of big cities in CA I love it here). There is constant dust and wind that carries the dust. Plus there's the "mud rain" that dumps the dust on everything. Foam cannons are very cool! Works for cars, trucks, equipment and big windows on the house. There are many different soap/detergents for each task; read learn and experiment for each task. Some work better than others. Good Video!

In my opinion the chickens are happier, healthier, and the eggs and meat taste a whole lot better. We also enjoyed watching and listening to them. Come evening they they would head back into the coop all except a few, at which time, our German Shepard would very gently herd the stragglers back in.

I have been washing and detailing my own vehicles for a number of years using foam cannons. They work great to help loosen the dirt. Then power wash the rest off. Chemical Guys honeydew is a great car wash soap. Adam's polishes makes good soaps for foam cannons also. Many of these soaps are PH neutral so safe for just about any thing, but not as good at lifting caked on dirt and grime. You can find foaming car wash soaps that are a bit on the alkaline side that do a better job of loosening dirt . Purple power boat and RV wash is available at walmart and is on the alkaline side. Cheap and easy to find. Sometimes use in on my cars and trucks but not sure if good idea to use it every time since it has a higher PH. High PH soaps will remove regular wax but not ceramic coatings. Yes some farmers do ceramic coat their tractors like their just like their truck. DO NOT used dawn dishwashing soap. It will eventually dull the paint and make the finish look old.

Foam cannons are a good tool to have for those quick washes. If you want to take it to the next level, follow up a good hand wash with a touchless sealant like carpro Hydro2. Makes water dance right off and provides a good shine. I use it on my Massey and camper. Works great and you can dry with a leaf blower because the water just glides off.

Dawn dish soap works on a lot of stuff, I've used it to wash my cars in a pinch. I have also used the Kirkland brand Laundry Soap for cleaning up oil stains on my carport, very little scrubbing needed, and a garden hose and nozzle. A product called Crud Cutter works great too for removing road grime, bugs, tar, etc. from a vehicle...you'll have to follow up with a soap/water rinse of course to get the Crud Cutter off, but it doesn't require any scrubbing at all, I sprayed it on the cab and hood of a pickup that had sat under a tree for a long time, I let the product sit for maybe 5 minutes took the garden hose with a spray nozzle and it sprayed all that gunk right off without scrubbing anything.

Mike these are great I use one all the time. You really want a shaving cream consistency foam to emulsify dirt properly and then wait for it to "release" and rinse it. I recommend an MJJC PRO cannon or you can change the orifice and filter in the gun you have for about $20 to increase the foam amount and consistency. Also try ADAMS MEGA FOAM soap, it's creates a ton of thick foam and one of the only foam soaps approved for direct sunlight. You only need 1 to 2 oz per wash. The MJJC cannon is more expensive but the performance is off the charts, you'll use less soap, and get better results. Just a fellow Yinzer giving some pointers.
