    Painter fell off the roof...

    The latex paint will probably peel off the shingles, like it peels off a roller tray. If that doesn't work - new shingles will probly make the owner happiest.

    How much money do PW's make a year, full time?

    Don't quit your day job. Do you have health insurance there? That's a mighty high priced item when you are on your own. Good luck, whatever you decide.

    soda beads?

    Caustic Based Chemical Ready For Intro.

    Sounds like a commercial with no contact info. Do a search for some of the other sites where the hood cleaners hang out. How about your name - email, phone # to contact you. Sounds like a product that's made in Denver which does pretty much the same thing.

    What to buy

    pwrwshr1, How do you like that Spartan - I have heard some good things about it and it's made near Toledo, Ohio. I think most guys use sodium hydroxoide and water with a few squirts of dawn. Does the spartan burn your skin?
