I'm surprised you're still using ubik and not a softy mix on all now.

Smurf can you share your softwash mix pretty please?

You can find all the info you need on the interweb. 
Here is  one of the methods I use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqvABSlIBv4

It's just a case of finding out what best works for you.

So you use Benz black wash?
What are the dilution rates?
How long will a bottle last?
Does it do a better job then ubik etc on facsias?
Can it be used on con roofs?
Can it be used in a Gardiner's backpack?
Is it really necessary to dress like a giant condom when using this stuff?

Why search for all the answers when you can tell me them  ;D

Hi Shrek, i totally agree with you, conny roofs can be a pita, thats why i price well for connys, some i get some i don't,
They can be hard work, especially if they have been neglected for years, some customers are happy to pay for the service
if a good job is done, others expect it for near enough nothing.

Yes, I just stick to addons  fsg and conis. Soft wash sounds like can be good earner but need experience of dilution rates. think I give that a miss !!!

I don't blame you.  Hypo is really nasty stuff to handle in a concentrated form  and it's not much better when diluted down. Worst I would say is  DDAC 40% - 50% even when diluted down to 1%  as it remains active unlike hypo. Get any of it on your skin or in your eyes and it will continue to burn.

Just done a pita of a job. External clean of a n expensive green house. Used ubik and the whole job took longer than expected. Should have used a soft wash so perhaps your right. Gonna start using it on these horrible jobs

Depends what I'm cleaning as I may use DDAC instead.

Winows only all the way..

When starting out grab everything you can but once you get somewhat of a round together just concentrate all your effort on growing it and refining it.

All the added expense of buying different gear and marketting it plus travel etc. It just better to get ultra efficent at wimdows .

So you use Benz black wash? Sometimes
What are the dilution rates? Depend what you buy and what you want to clean
How long will a bottle last?Until it's empty
Does it do a better job then ubik etc on facsias? Might well do but you wiil have to try it yourself
Can it be used on con roofs? Yes with cautiion
Can it be used in a Gardiner's backpack? Yes until it kills it
Is it really necessary to dress like a giant condom when using this stuff? Yes

Why search for all the answers when you can tell me them  ;D

The busier I get, the more I only want to do windows.
But I went out the other day and got a connie roof to do and a fsg job, both from existing custies. I didn't want to say no, (so I priced them high and still got them!!!). The silly season has started!
