thanks Rick...I always like a challenge and wouldn't mind giving it a try. SHaring your knowledge and your TIME is much appreciated and if you were in my area. The money would be in your back pocket. There is no one that I am aware of that does this service around here. Thanks again, michele

hmm I thought this was an ask the pro's for the DIY er.....I am not afraid of work, in fact I love a challenge and to see a project through from start to finish. Esp to take something from old back to 'new' and shiny. Anyways I have read alot for the past 6 months. Perhaps I have misunderstood the pressure washing 'lingo' but I know that I will not be using 'high pressure' for this application. I have my tonic recipe which apparently has worked for many of you and just needed a steer in the right direction as far as how the best procedure is. NOT looking at stealing anyones trade secrets or anyones jobs......thanks anyways I will figure it out as there are people in this world who don't mind sharing and giving a bit of guidance in their fellow earth walkers!!

i was thinking downstreaming with low pressure as I have read alot on here......I wasn't thinking I would use any sort of high pressure

Hi everyone....I really am wanting to clean my roof (small job by all your standards)1800 sqft house, single story rancher. I have a pressure washer and have read several threads but am afraid that I read the black stuff coming off the roof isn't the grime but tar holding the shingles together! Can anyone clarify for me the potion I should use. I have read alot of apple sauce /bleach solutions and also read simple cherry?....which would seem a bit safer. Anyways appreciate any assistance you may offer. With much gratitude... michele
