Gemma...i thought you were doing plastics now with a pressure washing set-up?
What do you mean then by restoration? :)

Oh i see what you mean now...sorry.
We use a pump sprayer that can be attached to a telescopic pole and apply the tfr with this,then we just scrub away with normal brush and pole and then finally clean with pure water.
