this g6 stuff may be great, but you wont have soft hands with it. Fairy is kind to mine and good for my complexion.

That's because and as the advert goes from years gone by: 'for hands that do dishes can be soft as your face with mild green fairy liquid'
Good old Fairy contains among other nice unlisted chemicals... silicone... which coats everything.

fairy is for dishes take the hint lol, never heard of g6 if i am honest gg3 or 4 is far better for edging if your trad and leaves less film on the glass.
-
I use GG3 or is it GG4? I don't know which is which. The one I use is not the blue'ish one.
Fairy leaves loads of hidden bubbles behind on the glass.
With a new shop or commercial job, you can always tell if the previous window cleaner used washing up liquid. You mop the windows and all you see is thousands of tiny bubbles.
Good old Fairy, or any dish washing stuff, seems to do a good job untill you look at the glass sideways on to the sun then all you see is smears.

try Ecover - i've dumped gg3 and squeegee off since using this - virtually no residue - great slip - nice shine
not that i do a lot of trad mind..

my gg4 was blue, so I guess use you gg3

I have to admit that ecover is king of trad detergent.fairy is too sticky and leaves a film.ecover is much cheaper than gg3 with better slip.no residue.
-
Yes Ecover is very very good and as for you fairy boys what's up with you it's rubbish stuff ha ha.!.!.!what your doing here is looking at how much slip u have hand to glass hence when you try something else u cant get on with it but Really u need to look at results..
5 litres water
35ml unger liquid
X1 teaspoon Ecover
Try it cause it rocks...

Absolutely agree. I am OCDish with regard to the results I expect, and because I get them by using Fairy, I see no reason to change a winning formula. :)

Squeegee off 8)

I have tried all this GG4, Unger liquid, Squeegie off i think i tried them all at some stage and always go back to Fairy.....

CONCLUSION
like i said been using fairy for years and used gg4 for the first time the last few days and my god is it the bollox and im sorry it does give a better finish than fairy by far, and makes it half the time too do the window as you aint cleaning up loads of soap suds etc and defo no smeers ; , well thats that wont be going back
thanks for all your replys cheers ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It takes a few cleans with GG4, or GG3, and you'll find the bubbles from good old fairy keep appearing but after a while, no smears at all even when cleaning in direct sunshine.
Before anyone comments about wfp and all that stuff, I'm wfp now but I was trad for a good few years.

Is this the Ecover washing up liquid or the Ecover detergent?
Tesco have both.
