Mineral deposit remover (MDR)
« on: April 04, 2013, 09:19:04 pm »
Any one else used this?? When i went to the cleaning show the other week i got given a free sample pack of rub out. Just so happened that i need it for a small job for dave morris in Manchester. I thought it was hard work even with a soft scouring pad....it needed a lot of elbow grease to clear it 100%. Any better products out there than this as id like to have some in the van if needed? Cheers

MDR is end of line now, not sure if you knew that.

There is a product called A-1 Hard water from Titan. May be worth a look....

I thought the same colin...iv never used anything else but that stuff took ages! It was a chippy i used it on and it had two large windows that were stained like mad, 700quid to replace them both. The owner said to me that had had about 15 window cleaner out to it and no one could touch it. All the paint off the metal frames started to flake away because that had tried turps to get it off  :o . Danny to the rescue.....she was over the moon with the end result. I wasn't sure if it was me doing something wrong and that's why it took so long. Where did you try it colin?

I found MDR to be so time consuming as well and not only that, it doesn't seem to work on some mineral deposits anyway.

I use patio cleaner cautiously as it's an acid. Works every time and instantly and it's a lot cheaper. Just make sure it's rinsed off with plenty of water.

Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Mine was used on some leaded windows on a pub
But there was a hanging basket with a snapped
Chain above 2 windows and the rain had emptied
Soil all over them and intern left terrible deposits
All over the glass, I got rid of the stains but I felt there
Must be something better than this!
It was block lead so I had to do each individual pain
Took ages

Lesson learnt mate
