It sounds dangerous to me; slippery glass.
You could be talking to your next door neighbour.....about the olden days.......when you had window cleaners......wistfully lean on a window........then slip off the eel-like window and fall head first into a rose bush. Ouch.

It's a silicon spray.

Hardly a new invention but add the words 'nano technology' and hey presto, it's the hotest new idea on the market.

I could go down maplins tomorrow and buy a can of the stuff. It's called ................. silicon spray.

i had a customer that said someone canvassed their street offering this services.a £20 house was quoted £800 ,so i think it's long before we're finished as window cleaners.i also asked her what about the frames and bird poo ,how it would repel those

This stuff look's absolutely amazing. If this stuff ever get's cheap enough (and it might), then the whole cleaning industry is over, not just windies. I don't like this stuff, I hope it goes away, I'v never seen anything like it before.

I would imagine it would leave smears still, right like window washer said? also, things like self cleaning glass need rain to wash it off still presumably, and unless its blowing a gale it doesn't normally wet the windows that much, so would have thought dust and like would still leave marks of sorts.
