would you go for a soft fully flocked brush? panels are like those between floor levels. they have black marks and general dirt on them. Was thinking of wetting 2-3 up at a time with water and then having some virosol/water mix in buck and dipping brush in.

I use an old brodex pole when am doing cladding with a sill brush,

With suton this size I would defo take a spare tank and connect a pump up to it, throw an adequate amount of virosol in it and scrub away 2nd guy coming behing cleaning it off as you go round

Is it that building you're doing?

The black marks, have you identified what's caused them, and that you can remove them?

Is Virosol necessary?

Cladding brushes from Gardiners are good, however don't last long at all, but for the price, doesn't bother me.

Personally, I wouldn't dip the brush - you'd be knackered. Get a backpack and spray a two or three panels then swap the hose over for pure.

Did not want to contaminate backpack with virosol mix. Still i could rinse a few times to clean it.

Black marks on panels just look like yer normal water marks n grime over time.
