F-13 failed the test
Permalink  
 


First i tried to dilute it as the directions say. about i:3  no good. 2:3 still no good. Used it straight and it still sucked. Purple power works waaaay better. simply agitate it a little and rinse. F-13 scrub,scrub,and then scrub some more and it still isn't as good as purple power. I read so many posts boosting about this stuff I was really shocked at how poorly this crap worked. Lesson learned

I had a bad batch if F13 last year, bought it again and it's been working great all season. Try to shake the container next time before using it.

We've been using F13 for several years with nothing but good luck. You need to remember that the F13 will not work very well once the temps start to drop. It's already taking us longer to whiten gutters on the morning jobs as compared to the afternoon ones because of the lower temps.

I believe it needs to be 60 degrees or better for it to work.  It's worked wonders 9 out of 10 times for us on gutters.  I could be wrong but I think it's largely butyl (sp).

Super clean, eh Dave?  I'll look in to that.

Love the stuff. I step on it with a cheap butyl based product. True about the cooler temps taking effect. When its warm you can strip the paint if youre over zealous.

When using the F-13 do you guys use it to remove the mold and mildew on gutters, or do you hit that first with your house mix and then F-13 for the black streaks?

I had one job where the F-13 did not do a thing for the gutters, but has worked on every other job I used it on. Sometimes I find I have to scrub a bit, then sometimes it rinses right off. I think the finish may have a lot to do with, depending on the gutter manufacturer.

I would give it another shot on a different job.

There are lots of different gutter manufacturers with many degrees of enamel quality. Try it on the next one, we all run into gutters that don't want to come out.

 Try it on another house. All gutter finishes are different. I brush it on lightly , then go back a minute latter. Works good

Some gutters just dont come clean no matter what you use then you look like a jack ass when you had told the customer they should come clean. That is why i do not offer gutters whitening past september 30th. It gets to cold and if it isn't blazing out it will not work to well if not at all. I hate scrubbing gutters and i dont press the issue unless the customer does first.

These gutters are only 4 years old. The front only had the "tiger striping" the back was the stripes and the black. It was plenty warm at least 72 degrees. This stuff just seems to nasty to the user.

Yeah, definitely can be a nasty product. I burned my hand pretty bad when it snuck into my gloves one day... It was not working to clean that gutter so I mixed it strong and it succeeded at taking the skin off of my right hand!
