Adding a chemical to wfp tank
« on: March 13, 2014, 10:24:12 am »
Anyone ever thought of adding a chemical to your wfp tank to make the windows gleam?

Not heard of anybody onabout it before but only thing that worries me is it putting the tds up

Problem is Andy, when you start adding additives to the tank it can be a real pain to get rid of them. Most are water soluble, but they can still leave a nasty film.

Yea true, i will just stick with pure, MIGHT just mix some tfr with pure and do some experimenting trad,

I detail cars with pure water and the windows, once ive used some glass polishing cream, have a certain shine to them that pure cant achieve

TFR is the worst thing to leave on glass it stains!!!! when using TFR you must rinse it off properly!!!
WE CLEAN BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT WITH WATER FED POLE WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHT.

The best mix i have found for trad is Ecover, bit of virosol, Isopropyl alcohol and pure water. But i couldnt be arsed to make it up every time.

Virosol is awesome for nicotine!

I used it in 2010 when we had all that snow, as i had freezing jet problems. When i did some leaded windows they cleaned and dried fine. It wasnt until i went back or drove past a few days later i was like WOW.

Its a cleaning fluid and used as a solvent cleaner. The reason it's so good is because it eats oils for breakfast (oil as in diesel smuts :) )
