streaks in carpet

[Warren Wallace]

I cleaned a business (I do it twice a year) this time there are streaks in the carpet. I have a judson tnt at 600 psi
I went back today at 400 psi marks are still there any thoughts? This is a small area but would like it to look better.
ps I use a high flow greenie wand

Did you try and post pad it? Assuming all your jets were not clogged. What type of glide do you have?

The last time you cleaned it did you use a different wand? I too have been having a terrible time with streaking. I have tried numerous jet configurations but they all overspray. I have a Prochem 4 jet wand with a glide. I have long jet extenders and 95 degree jets. I could try 80's on the outside but the 95's barely put enough pressure near the edge as it is. The only real solution I see is to have the glides come with built in spray guards on the back. I just got back from a small job (cell phone store) and I got sick of dry stroking every sqaure inch so I just went back to my unglided wand and dealt withe the chattering which was better than having a wand overspray.

fouled jet or three???


I just recently learned this one from a friend who owns a GH

check jet manifold for proper jet alignment .
it's connected to the thin flimsy metal of the wand head .
(That's why I think the CMP wand in general is a flimsy headed POS)

daily use and/or crew abuse can cause the manifold to move out of adjustment
