Question surface cleaner or turbo nozzle????

HI again,

sorry for all these posts. Once again, i'm a student and am trying to conserve cash, and this is only for the summer so....

I'm not sure how much surface cleaning I'll need to do, I already have some lined up but who knows right? surface cleaners are pretty expensive, and obviously cut down the time a lot, but somebody mentioned just using a turbo nozzle to speed up the regular process.

Would this still be effective, how much time do you think a turbo nozzle would save compared to a regular one? And what other uses would you use a turbo nozzle for?

Basically, which one should I get?

thanks

A surface cleaner would be the better bet IMHO.

Turbo !!!! Surface cleaners are great but big $$$$$$$. If you have alot of work for them great but if not a turbo nozzle works great on concrete. It also can be used many different ways. I use them on truck frames, Engines and a whole lot more. They cost about $30.00 bucks !!!

I dont know how anyone could get around NOT having them both. As explained above, and i agree with, a turbo tip is outstanding in many areas, but the outcome on flat surfaces vs. a surface cleaner is the same, for a month or two. Then the zebra stripes start showing on flat surfaces (concrete) and looks horrible within a few months.

I understand money is an obstacle. And definitely get a turbo tip first. But you have to look at the possibilities of a surface cleaner. You will never be able to put it to work till you have one. You cant bid a large concrete surface, ie. large driveways, parking lots, etc., unless you have one. They are big bucks, but not for what you get from them. The money is made back 10 fold before you ever have to even do the first maintence on it and they last for years if taken care of.

Like i said, my answer is BOTH.
