WFP on fascias

Been geting to grips with my gardiner back pack and starting to get the hang of wfp.  Next step is to start doing fascias with it and save myself bags of time than doing them by hand and off ladders.

I currently have -  Backpack on trolley, Slx22 with medium brush.  What do i need to add fascias?  Should i get a different brush or is it fine to use the same one i w/c with?  And do i actually need pure to clean fascias?  How do you get the grime off?

Any input would be much appreciated.

I use a Vikan sill brush and a pump sprayer with Scott's tfr.
I bypass the di when doing fascia buddy. Save the pure for the glass

I use a cheap sill brush I got off eBay on fascias. Apply screwfix no nonsense degreaser/ tfr or whatever I happen to have from a 20 litre drum on a trolley. Have a smoke then connect to customers tap and clean. I don't use pure on them. If their not that dirty then cif cream applied directly on the brush works without using degreaser or tfr.

Gardiners flock sill brush with fan jets also a couple extensions for your slx22 for gable ends with extensions had a few fascias and cladding where have needed 30ft pole. Also your backpack will empty quicker if using fan jets. 

Sill brush. Customers tap when possible. No need for pure. Ubick or screw fix degreaser on realy bad ones. 

Hypo or cheap bleach mixed with water to about 2% strength

Put it in a bucket and apply to the whole lot by dipping the brush in the bucket and applying all over the fascias etc

Wait 10 minutes and watch it all fall off with wfp connected to garden tap

Sounds good. Does your pump sprayer reach fascias on standard height houses?  

Some great advice guys, thanks.  I have the EZ (? I think that's what it's called)  snap fit connector on my backpack.  What would i need to connect to a customeers tap?

It sure does buddy. It even reaches the top of gable ends with plenty of umph.
It's a keema 9 sprayer that I use and it has been great. You can really get some height with it

Thanks mate.  Do you have a link for one?

No worries buddy. They have them on Amazon. Just search for matabi kima 9.
I bought mine from our local farm store and paid a heck of a lot more than they are on there but I have to say it was even worth the money I paid
