Clean off cement stains from bricks by sanding with sand paper then spray some wd40 on a cloth and lightly and sparingly rub it in.

on new roof tiles spray wd40 directly onto tiles and sand off....you can spray this over complete small roofs to enhance the colour as tiles have oil on them when new.

should not be done if you intend to walk on the roof.

WD40 works fantastic on lead flashings too.

And no i dont work for wd40

This has got me out of trouble after rain ruined my work!!!

Another use for WD40 is, if you have celotape stuck on sumthing and remove it it leaves a sticky stain, just spray a little drop on it and rub with a cloth, comes off fine, usualy hot water and soap makes it worse,lol
