I can see it's £5 for 5 ltr but what's the dilution rate, and I cant see P&P costs without filling in my detail...... unless it's free ;)

Between 1 part to 60 to 1 part to 100,
Says on home page orders under 100.00 are 7.95 carriage.

Thanks Craig, good dilution rates, poor delivery costs although I appreciate its a heavy item
-
any answers to my question about application methods and brushes?

Wil not hurt the brush, but will taint it if being used also for WFP, you can apply the TFR with a pump up sprayer, or if higher use a separate backpack and brush and mix your solution up in that so you can apply it using your WFP.
We are working on a Budget option at getting chemical to height, should be out in a month (will also be able to be used to get water to the Easy shine at height)

im still to use mine for the first time, i will be soon though, i bought e-cover and i will dilute it down and then apply it using one of these that i got from b&q. i also would like to know if they damage your brush head as well

TFR works very well on any kind of dirt, but it is also a good idea to mix it with something like jeyes fluid to help stop any kind of lychee forming back on to conservatory panels or uPVC.
Another good cleaner you could use is Truck Wash but this is very expensive compared to TFR.
Let me know what you think if you mix TFR with Jeyes fluid.
Hope the above helps.
Kind regards. :)

I think Jeyes fluid contains hydrochloric acid and TFR is alkali so probably best not to!!

There are two versions of tfr. Caustic and non caustic. Many of the guys on here use it.... Non caustic version. Its perfectley safe to use on fascias and conny roofs.
Someone on here used deep clean tfr on a really green conny roof. The before and after pics we're amazing.
Use the search button and type in 'deep clean tfr'. It was last month he posted it. I would get the link up for you, but my computer has either a virus or low memory and I'm tying to sort it out. God thank RIM for blackberrys.
