Looking for a bit of advice. Got a job to price and not sure what the best route to go down is.

Have been asked to clean Galvanised Steel roller shutters. Can't pressure wash them as its on a row of shops and will just cause a mess... So looking for advice on what chemicals to use etc.

It's just bare steel, not been painted, and is badly oxidised as well... Have advised it would be a lot easier to paint it, but they want it cleaned for some reason

If you can't wash down then you would need to spray and wipe. Best bet is to use a foamer then the product stays on the surface longer to do its job. Leave it to dwell them just wipe off.
This is what you would need:

Hydroflouric acid brings them up mint.... however they made need treating with some kind of protective spray after, ie silicone or other do stop oxidisation

You don't need anything so strong.  Aqua mix Phosphoric Acid Substitute cleans them and they don't need recoating.  We sell loads of this stuff to Bikers for their treasured Harleys

[Rob_Mac]

Well and truly in my place

Been busy with a late job, on a local store and getting the website up and running for another business venture - the Farrow System.

Just got my third business idea - maybe I am getting above myself

Little bit of tweaking on the original website and then onto the third one.

I had a thought today - I was cleaning a tumbled drive that was said to be 36 Sq m which was more like 180, outside a converted barn that had just had heaps spent on it. I might buy one of those hplv airless sprayer doo dars and make a fortune toshing black jap over old barns. Maybe I'll just stick to what I'm doing and scraping a meagre crust

I've split the services offered into 5 areas but funnily enough I didn't even think about boats, Doh!!! even though I have seen all of the clips. Will add that one on.

We have got narrow boats all around here, loads of canals and a big marina in Stoke. I am a fr8ging donut!

Website should look the business!
