i allways clean  f/s/g by hand for a better finish, i just use soapy water with a non scratch scourer, ill wash and dry as i go along, for any stubborn marks i use Bond-it (Upvc cream cleanser) and a bit of elbow greece) i find that if it doesn't come off with that it aint gonna come off

sod climbing a ladder and doing them by hand!it ll take ages!plus your risking it up a ladder.(i ve cleaned a fair few by hand before wfp by the way).you just have to tell the customer you cant get every mark off esp black tiger stripes.i would have noticed them before i took the job on and told them they probably wont come off.

if their fairly dirty with green algae etc the customers are usually chuffed to bits with the job as  wfp gets this off and the g/f/s will be  so much better than before. :)

Some stains just wont come off after so long.
If Virosol/ Screwfix tfr doesn't work. Thats it
