I am using 65 gallon tank, would you say 10 gallons sh 55 gallons water and 32 oz green wash? I'm just thinking I would apply it from the ladder and rinse it off with a hose 15 minutes later, what do you think?

I looked at a stone covered metal roof today and when I pulled up in the driveway I was sure it was a Tile roof but when i got up close , sure enough it was stone covered metal, now what is the secret to cleaning these types , is it the same as ashfault where you just use the same mix and spray it on and walk away, or do you weaken the mix , spray on and rinse?
A slighjty weaker roof mix works well. I've done 2 of them and nothing is different. I wouln't recommend walking them though.

These roofs have cleaned up well for us. Like Gary said, don't walk them (they dent easily) 15 gal SH would probably be a better amount for your batch. Although they dent easily, other than that they are pretty tough.
A picture would be nice. I would like to see what the stains look like. There is no limestone in these shingles and other than dirt what is it? If you have to walk on the shingles walk on the highest point and do not step on the laps. Also do not step within 18" of the valley or rake edge, the shingle sits up on a ridge in the channel and valley and will dent there when stepped on. I agree with everyone dont walk on them unless you have to.
