Great result. What are you using on these cleans?

Hydrofluoric/hot water?

We've been thinking of offering similar.

How do you manage to apply it without affecting any of the stone work, windows and doors? Also struggled to find much in terms of suitable PPE for such strong chemicals.

you can brush it on or spray - spraying is slightly trickier for obvious reasons - does not effect upvc ( well we've never left it on plastic for any amount of time ) same for glass but it can etch if left on neat - keep clear of glass and rinse often
painted wood frames mask off as with metal handles and letter box's

we lays use cherry picker - makes life easy to apply and clean

ppe is goggles/ful face shield and chem resistant suit - rubber gauntlets and boots

Hydrofluoric acid - get that on your skin and it will penetrate your bones, without you feeling it initially. Horrific injuries and pain. Possible death. Are you diluting youself?
