Thanks Guys will give Virosol a go, see how i get on, i think Hypo might be a bit harsh for me, also dont want it all over me either by the sounds of things. Im assuming with Virosol you can leave it on for a certain amount of time before it damages anything. Just wary incase i dont rinse it all off or it stains something its dripped on.. I suppose 1-10 makes it pretty weak?


10-1 Virosol is fine evan in bright sunlight and allowing it to dry on glass or plastic it will be fine , just go more careful on conservatory roofs with self cleaning glass we have never had a problem with it but think someone on hear did slacky. ????

Yes I did. It was Virosol. Caused the glass to turn opaque and milky. An easy solution to resolve it though is to apply descaler to the affected glass.

Use Hypo on something like that and you ruin your clothes.

I wore my spotty uniform .
actually ,  it was  ok. I was able to stand way back all around the house.
sprayed the hypo on all around  first.
by the time I had got back to the start to scrub and rinse off with just pure it had stopped dripping.
I wouldnt use hypo, if I had to stand underneath.

I did this one today...It would have been hard going with TFR, like virosol.
so I used a  1 to 12 mix of hypo. it literally fell off.
Hypo is fast becoming my preferred method.

What ratio mix did you use  for this? I do a lot of FSG and have been thinking about using hypo on them. Do you reckon hypo has a better effect on the tiger stripes as well?

Hypo wont shift the tiger stripes, I use the Pink stuff smothered over the brush with water off, usually does the trick.

Depends what is causing the tiger stripes  we find it does  usually fade them  if not totally remove them .
