No before pics as the customer actually stopped me taking them. I took these after ones as they were making out the cheque away from the conny! Yep, sneaky!
Well although I havent wanted to put my review up (coz I too have found Boshes replies a little annoying...yet strangely entertaining) I thought I would...just to keep the entertaining thread going
I bought it from Ebay. The delivery was quick, cant fault the service...apart from the fact I havent had positive feedback yet even though I paid as soon as I placed the order. I find annoying those who should give positive feedback first who hold off till they get positive feedback before giving it themselves (does that even make sense?!?!). An 'i'll give you positive feedback if you give me positive feedback' sort of thing. Not a particular accusation against you Bosh as you might have good reason but worth mentioning, as to me, its part of good business practice/ service.
The conservatory I did was a medium dirty one, had green algea etc on but not covered in it.
The left hand side I cleaned with virosol diluted 50/50 (i couldnt bring myself to use it neat). I would normally use it 10 parts water to 1 viro but thought 50/50 was a fairer experiment as I was using the Magica neat. I presprayed it and cleaned it with pure water, spraying a bit of water on then working it in with the brush followed by a good rinse with the pure water.
The right hand side I used the Magica. one panel at a time i sprayed the recommended 10 sprays on the brush first. I then sprayed the panel with pure and agitated with the Magica coated brush followed by a rinse with pure.
Results.... I thought with both sides the end result was the same. BUT...
Virosol side took 30 mins, Magica took 22 mins. The Magica did seem the better cleaner as it foamed well but rinsed fairly easily and definitely didnt need as much brushing as with the virosol. I found myself not needing to spray the brush 10 times each panel and probably used about 5% of the bottle in total. I also think I may be quicker next time as I couldnt quite get my head round how quick it was so i think i took a bit longer than needed to make sure (dont rely on me for this though as I cant get my head around much at all!)
So although I am loathe to say it (purely coz of the anticipated Bosh response), this stuff seems to be good and I will be using it again. I will reserve full judgement till I clean a really bad conny though.
I will also say that the smell of it is very familiar. On first smelling it I thought 'I know this, i've used this before'. So if you see someone going down the cleaning aisle at tesco opening and smelling each product, its me. I think i'll work out what this is...maybe!
