My soap has the runs...

[gregative]

Sometimes I make myself laugh. I have been trying a multitude of soaps trying to see what is most effective for my fleet. I have come down to a hybrid of brushing & 2stepping because neither works completely alone. Problem is when just trying to soap & blow, it doesn't matter if I flood the vehicle from bottom/top or top/bottom (doesn't matter what type of soap) I get clean streaks or dirt streaks (depends on how you look at it) from where the soap runs down & breaks. How to avoid this? It's frustrating because the clean streaks where it runs indicates the soap is/can work good but leaves the dirt "fingers" when running down. Can't leave that! Gotta brush it off. What am I doing wrong?

It sounds like your soap is mixed too strong. Try a weaker concentration, especially since you are brushing anyway.

Bingo!

Hey Greg how are we doing. I had to come home to the cold north again. too bad it didn't work out to run in to each other down there but anyways.

Hey on monday night I went out to the DQ to get something to eat, and I saw one of the trucks that you wash, forget the name right now but it was a blue truck pulling a reefer trailer, and the truck looked good, nice and clean.

Good job man.

These streak you are talking about, I wonder if some of it may be from drying too fast.
I don't know how much you wash before you rinse, but try rinsing more often, let's say wash one side then rinse, the hood, rinse, the other side rinse.
I know it takes a while but give it a try, maybe you are already.
