I tell customers "time to rot" and they seem to be OK with that.

It's very hard stuff to remove no magic jungle juice will shift it.. The best way I find is pre spray with your choice of liquid and use a 10" squeegee on a pole but remove the rubber and use it as a scraper.. As normal glass scrapers are to sharp and dig into the fascia boards.. It's a real hard job so price it slightly more than normal..
