You try videoing and using a hose with a gun which is really hard to spray slowly lol!

Also there were only water spots where i hadn't used the hose :tongue:

I sheet mine every time with an open ended hose. Still have to wipe it dry with a miracle dryer cloth though :smug:

Post by: jamie_pyrite on 12 October 2008, 19:49: I take the end attachment off my pressure washer and turn it off so the motor isn't running. Then pulling the trigger gives a controlled nice small amount of running water. Perfect!

Using a miracle drier towel, it's bloody good! Just lie it on the roof and drag it along and it picks all the water up.
