If you can apply TFR through a backpack the coverage is 100% better than by doing it with a normal hand held sprayer,it also enables you to reach the top of the con roof and soak the fiddly bits with TFR.

?So ... you spray the tfr mix on with the sprayer and then ten minutes later use wfp with pure water to scrub off?

yes, pretty much. Though if i can i connect my pole to the outside tap and use that first.
Then give a final rinse with pure water.

I don't have a backpack yet and have never tried it with my trolley to be honest. But the crop sprayer with adjustable nozzle can jet out to around 5 metres or so and was £20.
The crop sprayer i use is a 3 litre thing that i sling over my shoulder. I did use a little 1 litre hand sprayer before that and while it did the job it didn't have a man enough spray to cover the roof as quick.

was £19.99 in focus.

Traffic Film Remover, you can get it from most professional chemical suppliers.

We use Champion, costs about £7.00 for a 5 ltr tub, it has a very high pH which is what you need to cut through the green.

I use a battery powered paint sprayer duct-taped to an unger pole to apply the TFR to the roof, works great. I then use something similar to this attached to the customers tap http://www.drivewerks.com/catalog/shopcart/CARE/POR_CARE_CARAN1_pg2.htm to scrub the roof.

P.S. How are people getting the white bits on top clean?
