You sparked my interest so I rang Osmo and spoke to a salesman. The machine costs around £2000 (don't know how that compares to a Truvox similiarly equipped) but they rent it out at around £200 per day. If you just want to clean the deck you use a product called wash care, if it is very grey and tired looking you use wood reviver gel. According to the salesman (!) the results are genuinely impressive (in fairness the guy I spoke to was the least push salesperson ever). If doing the latter process you would of course be re coating the deck in an Osmo product.
I asked if they had any trining courses lined up but unfortunately they don't at the moment.
I think it comes down to how many decks do you get and would those people pay a decent rate to ame it worthwhile after machine cost and chemical and coating cost, my gut feeling is that the results will be everything they say they are and no I don't have any link at all to osmo LOL

Hello Terry,
I also spoke to Osmo yesterday a couple of times, was actually offered a machine at a better rate then that
plus I needed to know a few technical details of the machine, and yes no big says push and very helpful, in fact all the details I wanted have been emailed over today.
I most probably wouldn't use their products as I have my own tried and tested products that we use.
Do we do enough decking to make it worth my while? I'll just say yes because if I say anything else it would look like boasting, my web-site will give you an idea to our work.
Would/do people pay for a good decking service, yes bit like you guys that do internal floors, people will pay for quality workmanship.
