It's ok mate.

I'd put some close ups of before & after as the video doesn't really sell the quality of the job.
Did you resand? Might wanna include that if so.

Ye the video is more to show how the job is done.  I've got better photos of before and after closer up that I've got on my website and would show customers. I will be sanding after but the drive needs to dry first (I only cleaned it yesterday)

its not easy to see in the video but all of the fence and where the dirt had gone up I swilled down. The camera only takes a photo every few seconds and plays back at 30 frames per second so swilling a wall down for 10 seconds won't show up as easily as whirlawaying 
I checked all of the walls and neightbours properties after ibstopped the video and they were all fine. We wfp all the Windows and frames after too

You might wanna add some realtime footage showing swilling & WFP bud

The video is fine mate, gives a nice indication of how drives are cleaned professionally. Like said on previous comments try and get a before and after on. Not sure why someone would think all the muck is going to go all over the neighbours wall and fences, anyone who does the job for a living knows it all gets washed down. Good idea about showing the WFP as it will show what a good job you do

I'd frame it with a few detailed, close-up, well-lit, well composed before and after stills (the afters once it's all bone dry).  They'll give a reason for all the activity on the middle.

Agree ref including wfp.
