I've just noticed in the Magica thread that G101 is being mentioned as possibly being the same.


I used this on a mucky conny with success but I only used it "by accident" as I had about ten litres left over from the job below which the custy let me keep.


I used 250 litres of it to clean a massive ( for me) clad building in Avonmouth. They supplied the G101 as part of the deal because they had used it before.

It is excellent stuff but the grease, soot and grime on the building meant we were using it with wfp in ratios between 1 to 4 and 1 to 10 depending which side  of the building we were doing. I had a trailer with a 200L tank with two pumps to mix it in and then my van tank with tap water to follow up.

We used it neat on the brush on stubborn areas.

We also cleaned the gatehouse (the muckiest of the lot with all the lorries coming through) with it but instantly had water on hand to get it off the windows so it wouldn't "stick".  Then all the windows were done with "pure".

You must use it in the correct ratio - on a standard conny I reckon a low ratio but on stubborn spots dip the brush in a part filled bucket of 1 to 4 or even neat.

It will stick to glass if you leave it too long especially in the sun so only do a small area at a time.

They got me the stuff as they are a van importer and used it on the vehicles in preparing them for the show rooms - you'd be amazed at how mucky new vehicles get after coming in on a boat and sitting on the docks for up to six months!

It was hard work spread over 6 weeks. I learnt a lot from it.

Mainly get someone else to do it and take a bit of profit!

I think that most manufacturers spray their new cars with a wax protective coat as PSA does. Once a new vehicle was sold, our valleters sprayed a TRF mixture onto the body and immediately jet washed it off. This was always done in the cool of day in the summer, usually first thing in the morning.

I still have a 25 litre barrel of TRF. I used it on my first conservatory clean and paid the price of letting it dry. It took me 8 hours to get the stuff off with Jif and very hard work. The side that was on the boundary with the neighbours conservatory was impossible to get to because of the small gap, so I left it. 7 years on you can still faintly see the TFR stain on the top panel.

So do we think its magica?
