Where to Use
Simoniz takes the "guesswork" out of matching the right pressure washing chemical to the right cleaning job. The following charts demonstrate why different pressure washing chemicals are required. When selecting job-matched cleaners, it's not just the surface to be cleaned that is taken into consideration, but also the amount of soil and contaminants that must be factored in.

Proper Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation with Simoniz pressure spray products will enhance the performance of your Simoniz pressure washer, and will make difficult jobs easy. Simoniz pressure spray products will provide the chemical energy required to remove road film, grease, oil, algae, mildew and other such environmental stains from a variety of hard surfaces. Simoniz pressure spray products will emulsify and break down surface contaminants that can be then flushed away by the Simoniz high- pressure water streams.
Proper surface preparation generally includes the following steps:
- Always match the proper Simoniz pressure spray product to the proper cleaning job.
- Always pre-rinse the surface and surrounding areas with fresh water.
- Apply the job-specific Simoniz pressure spray product under low pressure, and allow it to remain on the surface for 1-3 minutes. Never allow the Simoniz pressure spray product to dry on the surface.
- For extra stubborn stains, agitate with a stiff broom or brush.
- Rinse at high pressure in a long, sweeping motion, keeping the spray nozzle approximately 3-6 inches from the cleaning surface. For vertical surfaces, always clean from the bottom of the surface to the top. For horizontal surfaces, clean from left to right.
Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous area should be cleaned to test spray pattern and distance for maximum cleaning results. If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping, use extreme caution as pressure washer may remove the loose paint from the surface.
