Vision- 1ml per 200 litres in my tank
Gg4- 2 cap fulls in 3 litre bucket for trad
Gg4-1 cap full in a 1 litre spray bottle
Virasol- 200ml diluted with 800ml in a 1 litre spray bottle
Virasol- 800ml diluted with 4 litres in a backpack pressure sprayer
Cif- squirt on brush or straight onto a cloth
Clover tar and bitumen remover- neat in a 1 litre spray bottle

I use the same except I do add a table spoon full of ammonia into the Ciff and also use IPA in to water to remove excess grease of glass.

It's for awkward internals where I use the unger pole and pad and for cleaning sash internals. Spray and polish...
The tar and bitumen remover is for any sticky marks, stubborn stains on frames etc

GG4 for interior trad work and Virasol for the odd conservatory roof, waiting for Tadgh to get his website up
and running to give Beyond Kleen and his degreasers a try.
