    I have used Jif (Sorry Cif) - the one with bleach in and I'm told that Cilit Bang works well (Shouting not required!)

    Wash with a sponge and car shmpoo, I would NOT recomend a jet, and after drying use car wax, that the rain drops flow easyly from the surface.
    In northern regions due to the elevation or inclination the dish is quite vertically facing the floor, therefore the rain water flows quickly and rust is not so common, although the northern regions are more wet, but when we come closer to the ecuator, where the elevation is almost 90º !!!! and the dish acts more as a pan it catches all the dust and drops.

    Nice to see al the old-members back...

    so how the reflector, reflect back micowave signals, all GPR dish faces have an imbedded reflective layer, which by the nature of radio waves has to be metal/ or a large metalic content.

    carbon fibre plastic microwave signals will pass straight through without some metal probably steel due to the weight the outer skin is bonded onto the metal
