Use "carbonex" with the applicator cleaned out a 6" deep chilled water coil,
it just got in there, foamed up and brought all the crap out of the coil.
Yeah it did need thorough rinsing, but it did the job well. Can recomend the
carbonex and E+ products.

Wow, Kinda scary.
Stormy playing with alki-foam. I hope you arent on a rubber roof?
Are you removing grease from these condensers?

The stuff I use works pretty darn well and doesnt take the paint off
the condenser fins or condenser. Its called water and it comes from
most garden hoses.
Very rarely do I need anything much stronger on outdoor units unless
Im working on a restaurant roof.
(Not saying chemical coil cleaners arent needed.........just saying I
personally dont use them much).
