cleaning off ingrained roof grime

baron · Jan 28, 2011

I finally got the extension on the house to put the van in :mrgreen:

so I gave it a good clean as it's been hiding under a tree for a good year and the roof was flithy

but there's some ingrained stuff I just cant remove, short of running it off with my fingernail

any tips on cleaning products or anything to help out?

For really tuff stuff try turtle wax bug off spray, it works on tar aswell and gets rid of that sort of thing a treat :mrgreen:

Zymol Cleaner Wax, £12.49 for 500ml, I bought a bottle 2 years ago and am probably going to finish it on my pre season spruce up.

It's excellent stuff and smells lovely makes you WANT to be out cleaning it.

I got stains on my roof where the rusty roof of my lock up was leaving deposits behind, this Zymol and some elbow grease did the job brilliantly!

I bought mine from halfords

it's a clear bottle and greenish tint product.
