Clean It Up

I've done a couple of conservatories with wfp now, and I can't seem to get them up good. I always seem to leave lots of bits on the roof. Last one was quite bad, and what was very difficult with that one, that it was so shallow, so rinsing was a pain, had to get my ladder out as well, and clean it with the pole from the ladder, very difficult. There seems to be lots of junk coming out of the seals on either side, and no matter how much I rinse, it just doesn't seem to flow off.
I tilted the brush on the angle adaptor so it was almost facing me, so I could rinse it better, but didn't seem to work that well.
The first cons. I did was a bit steeper, but stuff kept coming out at the top where there were some black bristles or hairs or something, very strange, should of used hosepipe on that one first perhaps.
Any tips for these? Maybe blast them first with customers tap? Don't really want to finish it with the squeegee you know.

I always blade them off after cleaning them,

Use some ecover or tfr first, then give it a good scrubbing, if you have to use the custy's tap water to do all the cleaning with and only when you have finished rinse with pure.
The constant dirt coming from the framework of the roof will stop coming out but it needs plenty of flowing water and the custy's tap is best for that.

Ah, customers tap sounds good then, do you plug your pole into that, or do you get a spare hosereel with special garden attachment for that? (If the customer doesn't have it) I feel that the two jets aren't sufficient for blowing dirt out.
I don't really want to use my pole with unpure water, I'm afraid it will leave lime scale in the pole hose etc?

I have an older brush I use on my pole, for conservatory roofs, I also have a 10' carwash pole and brush, when you have finished and reconnect your pole to your pure this will flush your pole hose out, so no worry's about lime scale or un-pure water being left in your hose.
I think if you check on Alex's site he has fittings so that you can connect your wfp to a custy's tap.
