Got a real good tip from a 25 year vet in Gulfport

I was wrestling with a clogged cutterhead on a Tuesday morning, and this older operator named Jim walked over from his barge and showed me how to use a pressure washer at a 45 degree angle instead of straight on. It cleared the muck in 2 minutes flat, something I had been fighting for an hour. Has anyone else picked up a random trick like that from someone they barely knew?

That 45 degree angle trick sounds like a game changer for sure.

Oh man, I've tried forcing that 45 degree thing on a cloudy day and it just looked like a mess. Honestly just tilting your camera until the light hits right is way more reliable than sticking to some number.

Overrated if you ask me. That 45 degree thing only works in perfect lighting and with a specific type of gear, so most people end up with worse results when they force it. Real skill comes from reading the scene and adjusting on the fly, not relying on some rigid rule. Has anyone actually tested this across different conditions or just jumped on the bandwagon?
