I'm going to pop up there with a couple of Klindex Rocky's and some wet vacs and take the work off the lot of you.
By the time i've finished Chris Scott will be my tea boy and his man in the shed will be cleaning my van for a living

Kevin how long does it take to clean 500m with your scrubber and hoover?
Quicker than what you think! It depends really if you have a Vacuum take off on your FSC ultimately though slower but a better job IMO as mechanical cleaning is better than PW but lots disagree. I could always beat my Falch T3 fitted with a 21" Mosmatic, use less water and less clean up but lots disagree

i would have to see this to believe it Kevin, maybe you could take a video next time you clean some dirty blockpaving then we can see it in action. If your method works as you say then i can think of many areas that have busy pedestrian areas that it could be beneficial but as zaid i would have to see it to believe it.

The issue is ultimately a Mechanical Clean is always going to be better than a clean with an FSC but does the customer want it perfect or just looking cleaner and will they pay for the extra attention to detail? (Probably not in the real World).
It is the same when we are Marble Polishing! Which is better? A quick polish with some pads and some Marble Polish or a full Grind, Hone and Polish? The answer is always the latter the two jobs don't even compare but 70% of customers go for the first option because they are happy enough with an East End Job at East End Money as opposed to the West End job for West End Money! The sad facft is if the truth be known they all want the West End job but they just want to pay East End Prices

Kevin first you state that cleaning with a scrubber then drying is just as fast and does a better job now you say the customer wouldnt pay extra for the mechanical cleaning route, if this way of cleaning is just as fast and does a better job than a FSC then why would it cost more to use this method.
You also mention using this method and it being as quick as using your falch machine so again why wont you take a video so we can assess this method for ourselves i am sure if it is as good as you claim many will buy your rocky machine but as said we would need to see it in action.

It is as quick and does a better job. The extra money comes in because you are:
1. Need two guys one to operate rotary and other to Vac
2. You have consumable costs i.e. chemicals and brushes
3. You need power to operate both the scrubber and the vac so it's customer or generator.
I have now sold my Falch T2 and my Falch T3 as we have pulled out of pressure washing altogether. When we had the Falchs we did a comparison on a customers drive to see which produced the better result and which was quicker and that was the Mono Rotary and there was nothing in it time wise. Pressure washing was only an add on for us in the first place.
Finally Trevor I am only sharing with you and other forum members the results of our test. I am not saying you need a Klindex Rocky either (Any Rotary scrubber will do) and I am not trying to sell you one or persuade you get rid of your current gear. My post was merely to point out that a mechanical rotary does a better job than an FSC. I didn't say an FSC won't do the job and at the end of the day one guy can do the job with an FSC.
