Title: Virasol or G101
Post by: dave0123 on February 28, 2013, 09:36:15 pm

I no lots use virasol on here but also seen lots posts about G101

what do people find best? and why is it better than virasol. Ive used ubik2000 in the pased did't think much at all of it just same as using pure water and your brush.

I got a soffit clean booked in next week and its got green agle on the fronts.

I'm thinking about building a portable hot system for this reason.

A boiler and a gas bottle on a trolley.

Connect it to the customers outside tab.

There you go,hot water should clean the sofits and all that better than any of that cleaning stuff like virosol.

If you use virosol like bosh uses the g101, neat in a sprayer bottle and spray directly onto your brush, I really don't think their any difference between them.

i agree but I always find myself reaching for virosol for some reason.

I think the only reason g101 has got such good reviews is because it is used neat, where as people that used virosol would dilute first. When I ran out of g101, I put virosol in the hand sprayer without diluting it, and it foamed up and clean just as well IMHO. But it's not an exactly scientific testing.

ive just filled my 5L pressure sprayer with virosol and water ready for my conny and fascia cleans next month.i also use it for cleaning my van and car.its great for alloy wheels and leaves a good shine! ;D ;D

ive never tried G101 so i cant comment.i bought 4 tubs of virosol for around £26(20 litres).its cheap and effective.

i have used it neat before now but prefer to dilute it as its very concentrated.

G101 seems to froth up better on the brush and works better on finials.
Virosol and Ubik 2000 are cheaper but I prefer 101 - seems more soapy.

Don`t use G101 neat on painted doors it leaves white bleached out marks.
