20 Year old Dog Statue Is In NEED of A CLEAN!

right good morning everyone welcome back to a new video um today pressure washing again you know we all love to pressure wash here on this channel um today i'm doing quite a lot of driveway this is about 100 meters squared um but it's kind of just a gray color sort of concrete driveway so that's not the main focus of the video however i'll show you anyway because it's pretty weedy pretty day definitely due for a clean uh so here we are so here's the driveway in question it spans all around the side of those bushes there as well um so lovely size to a driver you could fit probably about 10 cars on this if not more um i'll show you from this angle as well so what i'm going to be doing is going to be quickly not not quickly but uh it will take me a while but i'll be pressure washing all of this and then i'll get into the main focus of this video which is something very interesting that i've never uh featured before on the channel something quite rare to come across look at these guys so we're going to be soft-washing these dogs they're very fragile there's another one here look i think they're over 20 years old so if you come close here look it's cracking and holes starting to form in it so any pressure on this would be an absolute no-go so we're going to be using some sodium hypochlorite scrubbing it in and soft washing and just rinsing down these dogs and trying to bring back some uh some nice color to them so yeah so there we are and i mean these let me try and put it into perspective it comes up to my waist i don't know how tall are they probably about four feet tall three three and a half feet tall or something like that so uh yeah it should be really fun to do um i've never done i've never soft washed any dogs before so that'll be new for me i've done like stone and things like that but yeah this is a little bit different when i saw them i've got to clean them so she was all no i'm not sure about it because someone basically tried to pressure wash them before um yeah and there was a big circle mark on it where the turbo nozzle went so i said no no don't worry i won't be doing it like that i'll do it very gently and i'm going to do a test patch first so this video might not even come out if it doesn't come up nicely but yeah let's give it a shot anyway so we'll crack on and i'll video this driveway first and then we'll get stuck [Music] in [Music] i'm [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] wow [Music] oh no no idea that happened guys i've uh yeah just went over my phone with the surface cleaning yeah it looks like i'm in the running for the biggest on the planet earth i saw this black thing on the floor there um for ages for probably for the past 15 minutes and i was like huh what's that i thought it was a piece of plastic so i just carried on going went straight over it with the surface cleaner i thought oh hang on a minute it's shiny so i picked it up it's my phone one of them days folks seems to be work i don't know how that's been flooded underneath like two inches of water so i don't know how it's still alive but yeah fingers crossed right i'll carry on then [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] one of the folks bringing you back there gosh that was a dirty job i can't even see the camera hope you can all see me right i hope you can hear me as well because there's some dirt definitely blasted into the microphone um yeah driveway is all done now so now it's going to be time to start those dogs i'll show you the finished product of the drives came up nice i mean it was a dark it's a dark drive anyway so it's the reason i didn't really pay too much um attention on video in it because you know there's no big color difference it's just sort of dark gray well actually light gray bricks um this is all still damp at the moment so yeah there we are came up really really nice loads of weeds that's just a dead one and then down to there this little bit in the side here was a bit of a pain but we did it it's going to take a while to dry out that is so yeah quite a large area the time is half one so a few hours um i started i got all set up ready to go about quarter ten so not too bad really for a driver this size now i think the customer is reselling this themselves um so yeah saying they've already got some sanding uh here's a little tip for everyone as well that i know a lot of people they're always saying oh well you know what's one of the main tips that you'd give um in a pressure washing business you know what can make me stand out and things like that cleaning the road after you've done so a lot of people will leave dirt all along here so when you've got the neighbors that are thinking always you might be doing a good job over there i might get them to do mine and they said big puddle of dirt all in the road yeah customers won't be happy with that so so yeah so there's a big tip there so always clean the road okay so i'm not gonna be able to talk while i'm doing this because i'm to be wearing a respirator because the chemical i'm using um it's quite toxic so i've got sodium hypochlorite inside here at a one to four ratio um it's not exact but it's 200 milliliters to about 800 milliliters of water yeah that's right yeah that's what i've got anyway so i'm going to be spraying it on brushing it in with this sort of stiff brush and then probably leaving it for about 20 minutes if that you know you can tell anyway up close you'll sort of see how quickly it's coming up um or if it's not coming we'll see now if it's not coming up nice at a one to four ratio i'll scale it back and maybe do a one to three and then i wanted to something like that so without me talking anymore i'll start getting stuck in um yeah and then hopefully it comes up nice i'm gonna start on his butt so it'll be a nice inconspicuous test patch just in case this doesn't work very well just so there's not a big patch on his head that's going to look awkward um so we'll start on the proud one here and uh yeah get going enjoy right so that has been literally five minutes and it's already coming up like that so i'm pretty sure excuse the glasses i'm pretty sure we're good to go so i'm going to just start tackling the entire dog now so yeah enjoy i'll set you up [Music] um [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] right there ladies gents boys and girls um i'm done um i did two treatment no three treatments um on these dogs um and it's the best i could do um just looking at the before pictures then i was like yeah okay they do look good because they sort of get a bit focused and there's a few marks but again they're 20 years old so there's only so much i could do but i'll turn you around now and show you so first dog you know he's his head came up all nice and clean good boy um same with the other one though it's just a bit black under here i really tried and i put loads i left loads of hypo sat down there and it just barely touched it so i'm not really sure maybe steam would be the only thing but they said they didn't want them looking too new anyway they sort of like them a little bit weathered um but yeah so let's take a walk around there we are so again before picturing now so you can see how he looked and then the other side i must admit it came up pretty damn nice didn't it and now on to the other one this guy's head was really bad um but the most of it came up all nice so there we are again same story down there i think it's just it's like it's cracked and stuff so i think it's just like etched into the stone i'm not really sure but um yeah that all came up lovely around the edges there though i must admit and then around the back as well don't forget behind the ears and there we are so that's that's that's both of them together i think that's really smartened up the uh the front of the house to be honest um i have to rinse off down there it's just completely flooded there which is a bit annoying and then obviously the driveway all done you've seen all this still wet here because i've just been rinsing the chemical down and then that's all come up lovely so i hope you enjoyed this uh different little video cleaning some dogs um yeah i'm looking for more things like that just interesting things to do spice it up a little bit statues and stuff like that so yeah i hope you enjoyed this video if you did give it a like give it a subscribe pop a comment if you're interested in knowing anything if i can answer any questions i will and that's about it so i'll leave you with the dogs thank you very much thanks for watching you
