I've done it the non pressure way, only 1x though & had to stop after doing the garage (with dormers). The H/O told me I couldn't use his water so I had to pull the plug. I also did 1 the traditional way (lift & pressure washer) with another company, a bit more labor intensive and the supplies are more expensive.

The person (I'm sure we all know who) that explained the non pressure process asked that I not publicly share his method, but it's similar to asphalt shingles with a few slight differences. If you'd like give me a call and we'll discuss.

The traditional way (3 step process), is what I'll be marketing next season and I think it's the more professional of the two. Start by applying a sodium perc, clean with low pressure, then neutralize. I was shocked at how slippery the wood gets and almost slid off a 3/12 one story roof, so you'll need a lift. I've never done it before, but you might want to seal at the end.

Mike here are some bullet points from the SoftWash Systems Module "Roof Soft Wash Spraying Techniques"

http://www.instantpresenter.com/AccountManager/RegEv.aspx?PIID=E959DD85894F

Remember there is a discount code on this BB for the SoftWash Modules.

•Shake roofs can be very slippery once treated.
•Shake roofs soak or drink up chemical.
•Start with mild solution and work up in strength as needed.
•You don’t want to over bleach the wood.
•Shake roofs can have serious build-up of moss and lichen.
•Once the roof is treated these will die off and become brittle.
•In most cases light infestations will die and come off with weathering.
•In some cases a second treatment will be needed to completely clean the roof.
•Once the roof has been completely treated and the moss is all gone, shake replacement and repair should be done by a licensed roofer.
There are many slides and other points about shake roofs in that module. Id reccomend jumping in on it.
