United States of GRIZZ - Just how random do you want it?

Get some Wet and Forget and spray the paving with it. Better than spending an age with the jet washer.

How good is this stuff?

Seems too good to be true?

Never heard of it before but sounds good.

It works really well I find. Wait for a dry day, mix and spray on the patio/driveway then let it do its stuff. My patio is 80 m2 and it looks like new again a week after spraying.

Wickes stocks the smaller 2 litre packs so worthwhile investing and seeing how effective it is. It might take 2 or 3 applications but better that than fanning around with the jet wash.

Overpriced retail stuff.

Sodium hypochlorite does a great job. Get down the agri supplies and get the stuff in 20L value size. Deosan Red Label Hypochlorite would be one of many brands of hypo.

Judging by your collection of quality used spares you are an avid user of products like this

Not so much my quality used spares at Leinster DAF Centre, but before the late father Honda buggered off to the Philippines (long story, a thread for another day) he went block paving crazy.

Back in 2008, he decided he couldn't be arsed with gardening and so blocked paved the entire plot around the house in Carlisle. He got a jog on with it then because of impending change of rules at the time to stop people doing such things under permitted development.

Anyway before he left the country, he paid some fella c. £800 to clean the driveway. The cunt jet washed it and whilst it looked good for 5 mins, he also filled the grey bin almost entirely full of some of the sand that formerly belonged between the blocks. The damage wasn't too bad as it was relatively small volume to the area of blocks, but it's been a pain in the hole subsequently for weeds.

A few lessons learnt:

Don't fuck around jet washing blocks. You can do more harm than good. If you must, keep the spray wide and tame even though it's tempting to blast the shite out of them clean. Sand from the gaps invariably ends up dislodged and if not replaced will cause block wobble. (Also don't fuck around jet washing moss off roof tiles, you'll fuck the surface of them up)

To clean the algae / mould spots off the blocks for that just like new look, clean them with sodium hypochlorite available from any good #ooharrrgh outlet.

Retail stuff is okay/crap/expensive, remember what happened to Nitromors?

For similar reasons outlined by Mr Honda I always wince when I see jet-washes used on old cars.

Like Prozac the Beelingo, the VW Caddy continues to earn its keep.

Every time it does a new job, it ticks a mental bank account box for me, justifying its existence throughout igu “man maths “

Two double bed mattresses, two TV’s, a wooden TV stand, some other random junk.

Tomorrow it fetches a wooden double bed frame and disposes of a double bed base.

Yup…….

Function over Form.





Caddy delivers.

And at an average of 43 MPG (imperial gallons)! I think it’s a bit more special than it looks.

Almost the weekend too.

Worst camper conversion I've ever seen though, sorry to say.

[Arthur Foxhake]

Kipped in worse.

[mercrocker]

Aye, I must have too because I've woken up in worse....
