Went out to do a load of High street shops this morning. It was 5.30am, dark and my van was saying -13 and it really felt like it as well.
Thought I must be mad, I will never clean anything in these temps. This is how I have just made a good days wage without freezing water on the glass.
Two and a half litres of IPA in my bucket, half a litre of water and a very small dollop of fairy. So five parts IPA to one part water at minus thirteen and you can leave it for as long as you like, go and have a f*g if you want because it will still be fluid even after half an hour.
Not a chance off rubber freeze or applicator freeze and best of all it leaves a brilliant finish even when you think it is streaking like hell it dries in superb.
If this winter is still as bad....tempreture wise after the break, then I will be trad on a pole with this mix. The IPA may have cost me around £10 for the work but it was well worth it. If you buy bulk, like 20 litres from ebay you get it even cheaper.
Also, none of the shops were heated.

Just don't have your fAg break too close to the bucket and keep your eyes closed when squeegeeing above. ;D

Its Isopropanol Alchohol, it has a very low freezing point, you have to be careful with the stuff as it can be harmful if you get it in your eyes.
Our American / Canadian cousins use it a lot during their harsh winters.
