Washaway 64 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Anybody out there run into the difficulties of cleaning roofs located in and around airports? What kinds of chems help the most in removing that stubborn filth left behind by exhaust fumes? Thanks, Balázs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Russ Johnson 141 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 Jet fuel is basically highly refined diesel fuel. I would try a truck wash product designed to remove diesel smoke. Butyl based degreasers do an excellent job on burned on grime. May be worth a try, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Washaway 64 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 Thanks Russ. The problem with butyl based cleaners is that they're not water based and hence they can't be diluted with water and I'm not planning on starting a soding business. :) The butyl based cleaners work excellent for removing just about anything off driveways, trucks etc.......but in the case of a roof I have to take into consideration plantlife and the clients grass.

I dilute mine all the time depending upon what my application is. http://www.clean-rite.com/images/43msd.pdf Check where it says "solubility in water" This is my butyl cleaner of choice.

Washaway 64 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Ryan, You're a 100% right. I was referring to petroleum and not butyl. I don't know how I got the two mixed up. (Open mouth....insert foot) :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
