In this video, I demonstrate washing a roof without using a soft-washing machine. Can this $150 x-jet effectively clean this roof?

I always enjoy your videos. There are maybe 5, or 6 people I watch in this industry, and you were one of the first. Keep bringing content. 💯
You sir have changed the way I wash roofs completely. Thank you for this
Thanks Zay. About time someone made a simple step by step X-Jet test.
Def. a game changer! My X-Jet has done roof washes, house washes, and concrete pre/post treating! It also keeps the bleach from destroying my hose from down streaming!

Thanks for posting. What GPM do you find is best on a pressure washer for the X-Jet, especially for doing roofs?

Absolutely xjet everything
Hi Zay, Based on what you did with this tool, I bought one to use on my own properties. This is exactly what I need to clean roofs of houses I purchase. Thanks man! Oh, I plan to go through your videos. I appreciate your attitude and approach.
Hey man! Fellow NC washer here! Came to your channel from the gutter brightening with Forever Self Employed. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber! Wash on! It’s my first full season!
I'm sold. did a roof today with a pump sprayer😒 Ordering an x jet right now😃. New subscriber 👊 keep up the good work.
Been Looking Forward To This Type Of Content (Tests, Comparisons, & Demonstrations) Very Educational - Great Video Zay 💯

Thank you. Always great videos!
Definitely going to try this in 2 weeks on a cabin that is really bad. Thanks!
Great video brother | thank you for shedding light on this cause it works! Great job
Had this thought the other day when I ordered my 8gpm washer. Good stuff man!
Excellent job it’s always negative people who think they know it all but the work speaks for its self this video is proof of that 👍
Very nice! I do not have a soft wash system so will definitely be trying this. Thanks for the video.
Great video. You’re the man. Just so everybody know. You can wash a roof with a pump up sprayer and bleach. You just gotta get up on the roof. But if that’s what you gotta do, then that’s what you do. No excuses
We're so excited at Cardinal Pro Softwash to get started washing. Here in Kentucky things ramp up around March so starting early January we'll be boots on the ground, website running and and ready to roll! Thanks to guys like you we've made huge strides in our learning and equipment selections. Merry Christmas to you and your family let's rock out 2022 and get this money bro💰

Thanks for the awesome video! I needed to see this one.
Excellent Video, Bro. Thank you.
Awesome!!! Great tutorial!
You’re the best bro…thanks for sharing this tip
Thank you Sir. Salute
If you have a 4gpm and throttle half way the dilution will be even stronger. This is how I’m going to do it. I am going to use a longer flexzilla air hose though so I can keep the bucket on the ground. Thanks for making the video 👍

The throttle is a lever on your motor that increases or decrease the power to your motor by putting more or less fuel, if you throttle down a bit it will suck less water and create a hotter mix
Just got one thanks for the info appreciate
All we use are xjets. Used with the proportioner, you can regulate the mix for whatever you're doing. We also run 100ft of chem hose from the supply to the nozzle itself. Also, the xjet will pull the chem with the bucket on the ground.
Thanks for this video 📹 🙌
very interesting video, thanks for sharing at what PSI you used the x yet there Zay keep up the good work enjoying your videos from 🇨🇦
Appreciate this bro!!!
Got the ebook, can’t wait to read it and thanks for sharing your videos, young man I appreciate the help you’ve given me…
I did a whole roof wash with an x jet and it actually did pretty good

Thank you 🙏 that’s what’s up my friend 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ur on the right track wtever works easiest for u don’t listen to no one to buy a soft wash system waste of money a pressure washer is the thing with the x jet ) but is the same thing as a foam cannon but bigger volume
It can work in a pinch. But be careful of all that over spray. Check out the modified X-jet
Great stuff. I would just turn down the psi a little looked like the stream was a little to pressurized to be spraying upward towards the shingles other than that, looked great.
Hey Boss thank you for this video God bless you.
Good stuff man. How are the effects on the lawn and plants with this mix? In comparison to down-streaming, does Xjet have a 1% coming out of the gun because they are in different positions on the system? Thanks for making this video
Great video.
I modified my x-jet by taking off the nozzle it comes with and putting a quick connect on the end and using j-rods for the gpm range. You have to secure the xjet in a benchn vice and take a big wrench to get it loose.
I’ve washed many roofs with an x-jet. It does work.
Thank you sir
Zay, another interesting video 👍 I appreciated your deck cleaning video, using the battery powered sprayer. Would enjoy seeing you try something like that for a house wash, or roof cleaning. Might be slow but would be easier to control the runoff and over spray?
Like your style.
good video - x jet is a tip - can you attach tip to 3.5 gpm sprayer?
Dude, thank you for the very interesting video… How do you remove moss? 😯
Greensboro in the house! Great tutorial
Hi it's miguel from Florida what is the psi did you used on the gas pressure washer on the roof washing with the xjet
I know this may be a stupid question but I’m newer to this. Did you rinse the roof or leave it?
Love that M5xjet....all day everyday💪🏾
Greetings from Alaska.! Got a question for you my man. What brand ladder and what brand stabilizer is that? Looks amazing and would love to try and see if i can get it up here. Thanks!
What was that ratio you used for the Xjet? Would 8:1 be way too diluted?
Are you doing the whole house as well? What if someone only wanted the roof done, would the runoff be noticeable on the siding if you weren't doing the siding as well?
Can I start JUST sot washing houses using downstreaming without a pressure washer? I was thinking of getting a Blue Mule gun and jrod with a 12v pump. I only have my 4 door Ford Fusion. Will a setup like that allow me to start just softwashing using the downstreaming technique
Can you tell me what surfactant you use?! We’ve been looking for something that foams and bubbles as well as yours is laying.
Will this product dilute chemical’s and if so by how much? Thank you.
Great content what are the liters for measurement each mix to do a roof job?
What kind of mix ratio do u think u applied? And did u rinse the roof after? Just wondering because where I live it doesn't rain much and there r no gutters on houses so all the run off would go straight in to the grass ,I guess I can just spray grass before and after if u r saying to rinse it off. All help would be appreciated I'm thinking about buying 1 of these because I don't know much about ratio for roofs and I tried my normal 2.5 gallons of 10.5%bleach to 17 gallons of water and dawn soap because my roof was really black and had a few light spots but all it did was turn roof brown so I rinsed it after 1 hr then applied it again waited another hr and rinsed it off but its like the mix isn't strong enough or something wich usually that mix is plenty strong enough for siding and other things. Trying on my own roof before selling job to someone else and getting a bad name or sued for what ever reason. Also I used my 25 gallon chemical sprayer with a 2.5gpm pump to apply and it just takes to long as well as it's another large thing I have to tote around
What is your mix? What did you use?
did you perform rinse after? did you apply twice? were you running straight SH?
Keep up the awesome videos. I have a van setup too. Plus I’m usually a one man show( helper when need be). It’s awesome to see a simulator business

Good job
hello, where can I get that metal thing that stops the bucket falling?
Did you need to adjust your unloader when you run your machine at half throttle?
So is there anyway to get a tighter stream to spray higher
Can I use my 4 gpm pw using 12.5% sh and clean a roof?
What is your method to properly measure the square footage of roof and how much you charge per foot, how much footage can 50 gallons sh clean?
Hell yeah bro!! 😎
I did the past 8 roofwash like that since last year Easy money
Xjet is the same principle as down streaming - anything that draws via Venturi siphon and is AFTER the pump, it could be right after the pump before the high pressure hose or anywhere after that
Do I just turn my rpms down to get less GPM? should I turn it to halfway or something?
I like it.
Are you going straight SH in that bucket? Or mixing it?
What strength of bleach do you think you got to after dilution? 4 percent?
What’s up Zay! Thank you for the awesome video! One question. Did you use the proportioners to draw a strong enough mix to clean the roof?

He said no, just wide open. Probably so it was a hot mix. Smart idea we should all try.
**peace bro great video can you please tell me what's the name of the soap you use along with SH thank you and may God bless you**
How much soap to bleach do you use ratio wise
Where did you buy super bubbles bottle. That is a nice layer of standing bubbles.
Thanks for this video Zay. Any tips on the mix recipe or what wand I should use for roof X-jetting? I just want to wash my siding and roof once a year and I bought a 3000 PSI 2.0 GPM pressure washer, I was worried I'd have to buy a $600 entry level softwash machine, but I guess I could just Xjet with 4-5% SH. I'm still worried about the PSI being too high though. Thanks for any advice.

The x jeet would tame the psi down to like soft wash, still see how he is applying it,NOT a direct pressure, just like a rain over the roof, star on a small spot first , wet grass and windows and be careful with the overspray, good luck.
How many gallons of SH did you use? And was it 12.5%?
What kind of mask is best adviced to protect yourself from that kind of process? Thanks in advance.
What surfactant are you using?
How do I lower GPM without losing distance?
What size ladder do you have
Nice!
Did you rinse after or let it sit
I wonder if it’s strong enough to kill lichen. Thank you for the great channel Zay

Can you let me know what solution you are using to do the soft wash? And also how to mix it?
Where do I go to learn Mix Ratio’s?
Did you rinse all the chemicals off after you let it sit ?
Anybody know how many gallons of SH it would take to do a roof this size?
Can you do this with a 2.5 gallon machine
was it all done with one coat?
Also make sure to throttle halfway for a stronger mix

What soap is that
I know this is an old video so I hope you see this, but did you rinse the roof or not rinse the roof? It seems to be a debate these days
Do you mix your sh with surfactant or anything? If so how much?
