TFR

I've finally got around to getting some TFR, the undiluted stuff.

All it says on the instructions is "can be diluted up to 600 to 1", or
something along those lines, which would be about a cap-full in a 5
litre bucket of water.

But using a bucket and sponge is so passé; I want to spray stuff with it.

Anybody know how much I'd need to dilute it for the following deployment
methods:

1. In a squirty bottle for direct application to really manky areas
(e.g. back wheel)?

2. In the detergent tank of my pressure washer for general cleaning
(e.g. fairing panels)?

Any other suggestions for how to use it?

 

I just use it neat and apply with either a sponge or an old
paintbrush. Leave to soak in for about 10 minutes and wash off with a
hosepipe.

It's worth noting that you really should wear rubber gloves when using
this stuff because if you don't it'll **** your hands up very quickly.

 

Neat? Fucking hell, you're harder than I thought!

Yeah, I noticed lots of warnings about that kind of thing.

 

I have some on the back step with dilution instructions. IIRC 8:1 is the
normal mixture for spraying onto a shite caked van before pressure washing,
and it comes up nice and clean.

I'd not use it regularly on a car or bike, or anything I GAF about, barring
perhaps the wheels, as it'll take the wax off straight away.

 

Yeah, I guess that seems about right for direct spraying on something
really manky.

I'll definitely be using it on wheels. I think Kawasaki designed the
9R's specifically to hold as much grime as possibly.

 

I find that when it's diluted to about 8:1 you sometimes have to go
back and do the stubborn shit a few times, you don't get that problem
if you use it neat.

 

I get the same problem when I'm drinking gin.

 

Eddie says...

Kawasaki designed the 9R wheels so they don't hold the paint on as well,
be careful with it.

 

ITYM "Gordons", or possibly Tesco Value Gin. Not all gins are alike.

 

Thanks for that stable door, it'll come in handy for when I catch the horse.
