thanks

I give these a go with the pressure washer on the supermarkets car parks. Some come clean, others it doesn't touch. I am picking up a hotbox tomorrow from Britclean and will be using it next week. Heat may make a difference but I would have thought that a good scrub, with TFR and then a rinse off will get them as good as they are going to be.
Still want to get over to yours to see this machine. Are you free on Friday?

The Farrow system is like a combination of steam cleaning and soda blasting but using a pumice slurry. It was expensive as you had a francise to pay for - I looked into it years ago when I thought cleaning anti foul from boats would see me through the winter. I opted for the soda blaster in the end as the media can usually be washed away with water or at worst a little citric acid. My soda blaster has been sat in my container for 3 years now !
