Paint-safe pre-rinse, plastics and coated metals, oxidation control, foam cannons

About

Bridges detailing and pressure washing for paint, plastics, and coated metals while minimizing contact and runoff.

Core Beliefs

Delicate finishes deserve controlled energy: chemistry first, pressure last.

Perspective

I favor foam pre-wash and low PSI to protect coatings and trims.
