Quoted for two connys in same street,both friends,just had phone call to do both.No prob,except am unsure on how to clean fancy plastic on top ridge,very green and looks fragile,any advice would be great. I use wfp and trad but dont have a suitable ladder

hi wayne - hi lyndy
how do you apply the tfr lyndy ? if your using wfp and without ladder?
even with ladder often the centre ridge is quite a way over - im sure im missing something obvious but like wayne agree using big ole brush on the delicate plastic ridge seems like a challenge.

equally how do those guys use tfr on facias and soffits apply to a brush by hand and a brush that u dont use on the windows?

regards mark

Dilute some TFR in a bucket and dip your brush in.

thats the way i do it too,if your worried about brush use a old brush for dipping it on with and then use a good brush for cleaning and rinsing off.
very easy job.
also squeegee off in a bucket is very good too and leaves a lovely shine on the roof.

Mark we use big step ladders,get yourself a cheap hand sprayer,the ridge won't just fall off

brilliant thanks guys re the tfr application - sounds like job a lot easier - are you able to use tfr or the liike on a self cleaning glass - one customer i had said the supplier had said you can only use pure water.
