I just got 2 kits from the surface maxx website for $18 each (it was $80 at lowes). I realized I bought the 3.5-4gpm kit and the 2-3gpm kit wasn't even available. I found some other 2-3gpm kits elsewhere and they all have the same numbers on the tips. Will this work for my 2.3gpm machine?

I restore pavers and occasionally people ask me to do their siding. I've been doing research on it for a while so I could one day add soft wash to my services and finally bought the j rod kit to mess around with. I used a pump sprayer with 2.5% sh on my siding...hosed it off and it's never been cleaner lol.

I'm not against getting a bigger machine, I bet I could clean pavers faster too. 4000 psi won't damage pavers with a turbo nozzle, would it?

It's 2026 and I still don't have a camera phone that takes good photos

I've been doing paver re-sanding for close to 10 years and I have never seen this. These are grey pavers with grey sand and just underneath the sand is a beige substance that is hard as a rock. There was only a small amount of grey sand, 1/4inch at most and it was incredibly difficult to power wash out. The beige stuff wouldn't come out. Is this resin sand?

I want to do this job correctly. Should I just get the grey sand out and sweep new over the beige?
