Hi All,
My question to everyone on here is this.
What is your favourite glass cleaning product and why?
And no silly replies, please. :)
-
WFP.
Makes me the most money.
-
Fairy as it keeps my hand nice and soft
-
hi mr bungalow, iv seen you out cleaning in my local area a few times, makes me chuckle that your usually up a ladder and your called mr bungalow. .. lol
-
small waffle cloth. :P
-
Hi Joey,
Everyone that sees the name on the van, have a little chuckle about, then you will see them taking pictures or writing down my number. Lol.
What area have you seen me in? Maybe we could meet up for a chat if we have some time.

Water
Works well for trad too. About £2.70 for 1000 litres - I tend to buy in bulk.

+1 although add fairy liquid for trad
-
Pure water
-
Vision.

Vision.
Really Sean!!!...I thought you had a impairment when it came to vision :)
-
For trad work, Ecover washing up liquid and a limescale remover. Either Lime Lite or Viakal in a bottle not the sprays. Just a big squeeze in the bucket and it seems to kill the suds you get from washing up liquid without losing too much glide.
It leaves a shine, too.

Bucket
-
Spit & Polish :P

-
you need to use more ecover then fairy but it is very good.

It's just another washing up liquid but it suds up less than most of the others.
Add some limescale remover and it suds even less.
I don't like suds; too messy.

trad gg3,squeegee off(a squirt of each in my bucket)
wfp pure water and vision
dirty first cleans/add on jobs virosol
stains on UPVC CIF cream cleaner
-
Pure water mixed with small amount of squeegee off no sudds
-
Wfp, pure water and a very small amount of GG4.
Could almost be like Vision to use, but of course it's not.
-
Still using GG4 - seems ok so far.
I have a theory that GG4 thins the water down for slightly faster drying whereas the other product sounds like it thickens the water.
If it's come from the print industry then it will be designed to stay on the glass/printing plate as long as possible.
Could be completely wrong of course, I usually am.
I tried to compare the shape of a bead of water yesterday with an additive and without but didn't have much success - probably need a more scientific way of studying and measuring than I'm ever likely to have.
I wonder if my daughters school has any apparatus that measures surface tension, hmmmmm (strokes chin).

Hi All,
What cleaner do you use for your customers internal windows?

Hi All,

If blading, just a squirt of fairy. (Soon to be experimenting with GG4 though)
But on Georgians, a product called 'Beyond Kleen' sold by Tadgh on here.
It's a great product.
I've used it a bit on secondary glazing with great results too.
The waffle cloths he sells are good but not massively better than the paragon fish scale cloths. The spray is awesome though.

I use Tadgh O'Shea's stuff (Beyond Kleen) on shop doors, all internal glass and a few other places.
Without a doubt it's the best spray glass cleaner I've ever used by such a long long way.
-
Mr bungalow , nope , vision has several ingrediances in it .
-
Hi Darren and Ross, thank you for your kind remarks.
Cheers
Tadgh
-
Tadgh have seen your youtube video using Beyond Kleen to clean cars, is this the same stuff and where
do you buy it as I cant find your website.
I take it that you just spray it onto the interior glass and polish off.

Hi Sean, yes its the same product, to be fair we are not paying CIU at the moment for advertising so i don't want to say to much. we will have our site back up in a few weeks and will resume advertising on CIU then. you can bang me an email if you like and i will send you on some info.
Regards Tadgh

Hi Kempy,
If one of those ingredients is nantechnology, from what I have found out, then it is being applied to the glass incorrectly. It should not be applied by waterfed pole to the glass.

What do you know about it when all you're doing is asking questions of a newbie type manner.
-
Beyond clean…superb for glass.
-
The vision product has various Ingrediances in it and are bonded together in a certain volume mix ratio.
-
Who lives closest to the printers - Kevin in Wetherby?
-
Whats it matter whats in it you like it or you don't . Vision have produced something that a lot of people like only reason to want to know what it contains is if you want to copy it

Tadgh sells them.
Yeah, they're better than regular micro fibre cloths.
I like the fishscale microfibres by paragon. Are waffles better than them? I don't think so. Theres not a lot in it though.

Cheers Mike and Chris for the thumbs up on Beyond-Kleen, happy cleaning, Tadgh
