Title: care home frames help
Post by: joe.b on March 31, 2008, 08:12:34 pm
I've been asked to do the windows on a care home, now the frames are dull i think and theyve got the black water marks, how do i go about getting them off?

Thanks

hi joe, I use traffic film remover (if you're wfp) but you have to rinse really well or you'll get white spotting

good luck!

Dilute some in a spray bottle and apply it to your brush every couple of window`s.

To be honest i wouldn`t use TFR i was only telling you how i apply it when doing con roofs,for window`s i would dilute the same way with GG3 and spray that on your brush as sometimes TFR can leave streaks that are hard to shift.

yes, either do that or make some up in a rectangular bucket and lower your brush into it. it can leave streaks, usually if it's hot & sunny

I would try the GG3 first and if it dosen`t shift it then try TFR,just don`t leave the TFR on the glass for to long.

right thanks, when ive sprayed it on, surely after ive scrubbed the frames on the window and rinse it, it should be fine? is it ok using the same brush?

Same brush,what would be the point in changing it as it would soon become contaminated with the TFR or GG3 that`s on the glass,you should only need to do this on the first clean.
