This one took me 1/2 day:

Did you use Paintshop Pro to get them that colour?
I hear all this nonce about seals.Even if the water penetrated the out cover seal.The water would just run out of the drain at the bottom of the frames. As for as the glass unit seals go there is no way a pressure water would even inter that glass seal I had a unit laying around from some replacing of unit i did and were impossible to force open with pressure water. You might get some leaking on the roof of a conny with a pressure water at full whack, but its not drive way so don`t be dumb. In this case you will get leaking when it rains and the wind is blow a gale.

Hence it is probably not advisable... Mind you, I am just a pressure washing monkey from the other section and you guys are far more 'technical' than us
Hi guys thanks for all your thoughts, so I guess no one uses a small presure washer then I guess it's the use of chemical that lifts most the greenery , Does anyone use any thing not chemical based that works well as some my customers want chemical free

You can clean the roof with nothing but water and a pole.

I'm pointing out a Shurflo is 100 PSI. Whats the safe pressure a conny can withstand ?
