Ed I understand all of that. But the reason I switched from Ammonyx a year and a half ago was because when I tried the Green Wash, I liked how it stuck to the roof better, covered the scent, less window spotting, and I was able to use less SH. And I could make up batches at a time and it would last 3-5 days.
A few months ago I began to notice Green Wash started changing. The color changed, the scent mask wasn't covering the SH smell and it wasn't sticking as well. I contacted AC about it via a text message, and he said he would check on it but I never heard back. In the meantime, Michael Hinderliter gave me a small sample of Fresh Wash to try, (he had no idea of my problems w Green Wash) and I tried it. And I loved it. But was not able to do all the test's I wanted because it was only a small 16-24 ounce sample. A few week's later he sent me a larger sample and I ran it through several tests before I ever recommended it, and all the testing I did for what I needed and wanted, it worked perfectly. So I bought some, recommended it and it's all I use now and the numbers work for me.
You know, everyone is different, I have talked to several guys that still use Green Wash, and they say they have not experienced the problems I did with the Green Wash. Here, other's will say Ammonyx sticks better, or Simple Cherry this or Green Wash that, or Roof Snot this, or Blue Voodoo that or whatever. I guess in the end, we all just share our info, and each use what works best for them. Doesn't make any of us right or wrong over the other.
Yeah I remember those 99-149$ house washes too back in the 80's and early 90's Couple jugs of store bought bleach, couple squirts of dawn, and a 3 GPM machine, Down Stream a house in a couple hours, hope to up sell the drive way for $25.00 and wand it for an hour...ole the good ole days. Don;t miss them a bit.
