Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience

I agree. Exactly the same as above.  I tried for a regular customer and made so little impact that I couldn't bring myself to charge her anything.

I know it is quite common in America and i think winsol do a awning cleaning solution but I haven't seen any sold in the uk.
