deck power washing

My 'rich' neighbor pressure washes just about everything on his property. From what I see, never pressure wash vehicles or boats. You should see his tires! Bits and pieces of rubber every where. Even the moldings around the windows on his car, boat and house are shot. Of course he has the money to buy new every year but I would not buy from him!
His gel coat looks great but after he pressure wash it badly needs a 'Diamond Shine'. Even his trex deck looks like it is years old. Not sure if he is using too much pressure but he loves using that thing!

I have a pressure treated lumber dock built before DES put a stop on all the good stuff. The dock been creosoted for years until it was banned. It is now 30 years old and still looks great! I just scrub it every year with a stiff brush. May not look like the neighbor's dock, but I bet it will last a lot longer.
