Post by: Jonathan Spencer on December 07, 2010, 08:20:08 am
What ratio do you use with screenwash/water/fairy?

Also does it leave a film on the windows?

a couple of big glugs of concentrated screenwash with a bit of warm water/squeegee off.keep your mop a lot wetter than normal and soap one window at a time and blade off very fast(esp in the shade!!) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

even neat screenwash is freezing in the shade on contact with glass at minus 7, i even tried the "turbi" two handed method with slightly better results but water freezing on sillsa and frames still having the scrap then with a car ice scaper!

I managed to do about 70 quid yesterday and it never got above freezing but it is colder today so want to be on the save side when I venture out at about 10.30.

I put a glass of vodka to 25L of Hot water and was fine all day spilt some on the floor and didn't freeze.Siberian winter needs Russian solution.customer ask me what i do to stop the water freezing and when I told her she thought I was winding her up,But still handed over the notes
