Title: do u use tfr/virosol on glass roofs?
Post by: dazmond on July 03, 2012, 06:49:30 pm
i picked up a conny clean today out of the blue.its wooden with a glass roof.it looks pretty dirty.would spraying it with tfr or virosol be ok?then just scrub and rinse with pure water?

i normally only pick up polycarbon roofs.


many thanks

Bosh, try using a standard plastic angle adaptor then you wont have to work at funny angles as the carbon gooseneck isnt getting the brush onto the roof at the right angle ... will speed your guys up

Point taken blue frog and many thanks for advice.
The reason for using the carbon goose neck is that its much lighter than other attachment we have which is again  easier for scrubbing at this angel.

I use Armillatox. A bit expensive, but little goes a very long way.

What ever you use , make sure it does not dry , as it will leave streaks that show in sunlight, and are a bugger to remove.
In my experiance, they usually take longer, and require more rinsing
