So planning to apply tfr via backpak & pole with fan jets to one area at a time (i.e. the eaves) leave 5 mins(?) then get busy scrubbing with pure via fan jetted brush on a supalite. sound like a plan? anything i have missed? THANKS CHAPS.

JUST GET AND DO IT.
if hot on on clear glass then do only a couple of panels at a time.
-
would of used hot franky but l5 got a crack during bad weather TOP OF THE RANGE KIT I KNOW 8) ;D might try and sort that after work tomorrow will get some of that plummers mait from B&Q thanks whoever mentioned that.
-
I think franky means be careful if the glass is hot with the good weather we're getting. The tfr will dry on if you leave a large area to soak and it dries out. i personally spray roofs and glass with pure first then apply the tfr mix.
-
OH! ok thanks spongebob/ franky gonna try not to get the tfr on the windows. the windows have been cleaned reguarly but the fascia, soffits and eaves are minging will clean the windows up with pure after but i will watch out for that thank you. Dan.
-
got a 4 bed detatched fascias, soffits & guttering to clean aswell as a conny roof.
Heres how im going to do it in this weather ....
Spray 3 sections of the fascias with tfr.... leave 2mins, then wfp off with my clx & superlight. I usually spray the entire side, but when its hot its better to do a section of it at a time.
conny will be done - finals first (one go) then 2 large pannels at a time.
When cleaning the fascias, keep an eye on whats going on the windows. Sometimes the tfr can get onto the glass, so just rinse off with purre as you go along (dont touch the window with the brush)
-
Thanks Blue frog not too worried really but glad i checked. a couple of potential pitfalls hopefully avoided there.
-
Sorry chaps one more thing. I have purchased 5 litres of CONCENTRATED TFR I have an 18 litre backpack to apply it. how much CONCENTRATED TFR should i add to each backpack full? the container has no recommended mix ratios it just says it is concentrated. thanks, DAN.
-
Well all these tfr's are different strengths. Mine is from a transport company and it will take anodised paint off a patio door if used neat.
I would suggest try 20 to 1 first. Try it somewhere that doesn't show or on a manky window cill on another job. See how it performs and up the dose from there.
I use about 10 to 1 usually but its more of a splash and guess than scientific.

i know its not hard i have done upvc cleans before, but never used TFR before so rather than just getting on and doing it, i thought i would check a few things out. It went well by the way the customer was very pleased and pre soaking with TFR definately made a difference....converted. thanks for your help everyone.
