Title: Which Spray?
Post by: supernova77 on January 16, 2006, 06:17:30 pm

Hello All,

Which spray (glass cleaner) do you use, and where do you get it from?

I've been using Evans Glass Cleaner, but just wondering what eveyone else uses?

Thanks,
Andy

Hi,

I find the best to be Mr Muscle, leaves a good shine, I buy from any supermarket, about  £1.60 . Just recently I have been toying with the idea of collecting rain water to use as a spray. Being pure water I presume its as good as the pure water the guys on this forum make for their poles.

Tescos window cleaner.

It's clear not the green stuff, it's 84p(ish) and not only cleans but leaves a shine like polish.
It's so quick to dry and doesn't smear.
Hope they don't change it! ;)

Oh, and it smells like it's got vodka in it. :D

Roy,

You old dinosaur you :o


I use Tesco's own brand window clean spray, approx 80p for 500ml.

It has a nice whiff, and is easily as good as Mr Muscle at twice the price (nothing wrong with Mr Muscle by the way, but you are paying a premium for the brand name)

Oh, Squeaky has beaten me to it I see!

It was actually Roger that told me about it, I actually agreewith him too :o :o

Kev,
rain water isn't in any way pure due to all the contaminates in the atmosphere.
i used my tds meter on some rain water before and it was nearly double what came out of my tap!
like your thinking though ;D

I use pure water with the tiniest drop of gg4. Great results every time!

During the summer I wet the window with a damp scrim (gg4) and microfibre it dry.

Any other time I use Nils Glass, spray it on liberally, wipe over quickly with a scrim and microfibre it dry.

To date, I find that works best for me.

My mate uses a spray with RO water and scrims it. He swears by it.

Cheers
