Hi guys,

Unger Rub Out will get them off, as long as you can get a cloth to them.

Ok thanks. Yeh it’s all low bungalow height.

What what do you think has caused them in the first place ? Intresting that they start under the gutter

No idea, I was looking but nothing I could see. Roof tile went into the gutters

I went to buy the rub out last night, I saw you could ‘email a question regarding this product’ at WcW so I did asking if this would get off the zebra stripes etc

they just emailed back and said they would recommend that red razor wash instead!? But that’s a degreaser, I dont think that would get them off would it?

Also forgot to say, the customer said he used to use abit of cif when he used to clean the upvc when he was younger. I’ve heard of some other people using cif before, has anyone ever used that? Would that get off the stripes?

 Thanks again guys.

Used cif years ago before I knew about rubout. Rubouts more expensive but a lot more effective. Them stains are water stains and exactly what rubout is designed to remove. It also works on glass with enough elbow grease. Water stains and greying are more along the lines of restoration and not just a general clean and will take you a while to do a full house as it’s basically the same as teacutting a car and has to be done by hand. The only way o know how to get rid of them by a pole is softwashing using very strong chemicals.

I’ve only used it by hand. It’s more apply and then wipe any dirt off with a clean cloth
