Thanks, but does that kill moss? Was thinking about moss on paintwork, too.

Ferrous Sulphate - available from Garden Centres/Countrywide etc. Is what is in moss killer. Buy a kilo bag mix a little with water and spray on - should go black overnight. unfortunately you still have to wash it off - power washer gets rid of a lot of it.

..Doesn't gather on a rolling stone?

I would advise great caution if using a pressure washer, it can destroy laquer paint finish with ease, and cause damage to rubber trim, seals & tyres.
Use a fairly soft brush and a shampoo solution to remove residue after treatment, much kinder IMHO.

OR you could try an angle grinder.

Point your .45 Sphagnum at his face & ask "D'ya feel lucky punk?"
That's what I'd do if someone was stalking my daughter Kate.
Stirling advice, eh?

There I woz in the warm & cozy lounge, now I find I've been teleported into the scary world of detailing.

HELP!

( Reality is an illusion caused by lack of alcohol.)
Never ever drink & post.
