Yes.
Doesn't seem to do much but then neither does vision.

Lights blue touch paper and retires ... and firework night isn't until November 5th either. ;D

Could be worth a try at that price 🤓

Ask kempy which one is best and why
-
Added sparkle was around last year.
-
Why would you want to add anything to pure water, I thought pure water was good enough anyway ???

ye still got a free bottle somewhere.
-
i tried it and thought it was ok
-
I've got a ongoing experiment with vision and pure water. I have a commercial job we clean weekly one window gets the vision treatment, the other pure. Been cleaning it this way for 3 weeks, going to give it 6 then report back with my (less than) scientific findings! Will post some pictures and hopefully you can let me know which window is which.

of all surfaces to clean glass is one that throws wobblers for many people not just window cleaners, there are many different ways and products that really don't work properly when it comes to achieving optimal results, meaning that when finished cleaning the glass is completely free of SSR's (Streaks,Smears,Residues,).
When glass is cleaned properly especially when doing both insides and outs it will always end up with a natural shine and sparkling finish.
Its hard to beat the feeling of pride after cleaning a window on both sides then to stand back and admire that perfect finish. from my experience the most effective way to achieve optimal results when cleaning glass is to use good quality/high performance microfiber cloths and just plain water.

Tadgh, you don't half waffle on. If you got a proper website or ebay account you'd sell your products much faster. Because you don't there always seems something fishy going on. I'd probably try your waffle cloths if I could see them, click on payment and see exactly what I'm paying for. Your other stuff is just hideously expensive, it might be good but nobody has heard of it.
Where's the order form? Where's the secure checkout page? Where's the product description page? Terms and conditions? Postage costs? the list goes on.

Oh dear, Tadgh Kempy had two years of this and worse send him out a freebie quick.
Thing is I agree with him.(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1458979473_grin[1].gif)

i gota say dave is rite i was asking about a upvc cleaner wich tadgh said dont use ubik as it will take the shine off it ! some one then said tedgh sells some stuff wich is mch beta and tedgh u never said here is a link to it or nuffin u just blanked my post and carryed on lol so i thault sod ya and ur product ;D
-
I never said don't use ubik, i was sharing my knowledge and experience of using cleaners that are based on sodium hydroxide over many years and pointing out that yes these type of harsh and aggressive cleaners can dull the factory finished sheen on pvc surfaces, after all this is a forum where members share knowledge and experience with each other. If you look at many of my posts i always share that there are many janitorial suppliers in the UK who can offer safer alternatives. I realize that if we had a shopping cart on our site that yes more guys on here may give some of our products a go and see if they meet their needs.Believe me i am working on this and will have a shopping cart back up over the next few weeks, i say back up as we did have one before but for reasons which i can't go into i had to take it down. Just on all the waffle Dave, when i say good quality/high performance microfiber cloths it dose not mean it has to be little waffle glass cloths, as again there are many suppliers in the Uk who do provide good quality/high performance microfiber cloths. i even shared one who also promote little waffle weave glass cloths and again for others who would like to know its ecloth one of the largest suppliers of microfiber in the UK and who carry an excellent range of microfiber. So don't worry guys its not always about sales if it was i would have a shopping cart up a long time ago. So back to added sparkle i have shared from my experience that using good quality/high performance microfiber cloths with plain water will leave a natural shine and sparkling finish on glass. So i have no problem in saying that you don't always need to use additives to make glass sparkle, what do others think.

I have several different microfibre cloths and scrims ranging from glass polishing cloths to fish scale cloths and loads of others. I tried to clean the wifes windscreen yesterday with one and pure water. Admittedly the sun was out but the results were horrendous! I even tried alcohol (but it was a bit early in the day) and then a squeegee but that didn't work because of the convex screen.

Dave, here is a tip worth trying out for a perfect finish on windscreens, take a magic eraser pad and dampen it with plain water proceed to scrub the windscreen to remove any ingrained soils, then use a damp fish scale microfiber to wipe away any loosened soils and residues, finish off using a second fish scale microfiber dry and buff for a smear free finish. This method should work fine on both sides of the windscreen. Tadgh

Unger ninja cloth, unger stingray fluid, perfect results.

For gods sake guys we clean dirt of glass and frames, what ever is under that dirt should that be shiny dull or whatever
will still be the same when the dirt is removed.
Restoring frames to their original shine is another job entirely and requires a totally different approach to using soap and water
or water on its own.
Microfiber cloths are a non starter in our game as they are too slow and hard on the joints for day in day out work plus like
Dave Willis I haven't found one yet that does a perfect job.

The king is in the altogether..............

I've used it. I love it. All my customers love it too. The glass shines brighter and better than without it and much better than that Vision tripe.
The water runs off the glass much much faster, they're dry before I've moved on to the next window. There's no spotting now, ever! I earn loads more every day now using this gear. By the way I'm not involved in its manufacture or sales at all.

While i take your point seanK on microfiber cloths are a non starter for day in day out work, my point was about achieving optimal results meaning no ( Streaks,Smears,Spotting,Residues,)being left behind on the glass and was basing this from my experience, if you take for example you are cleaning a kitchen window on both sides first using a damp high quality microfiber just with plain water to clean the glass, and then second using a dry high quality microfiber to buff off to achieve a perfect smear free finish, using trad or wfp the results will not be up to par.

how can one person have this glowing review and another use the same product and conclude it does nothing at all of note
either someone is lying or theres a placebo effect going on
-
I can't comment on the other person. All I know is this is my experience. Maybe the other person doesn't know how to clean windows with or without an additive.
-
I think it will be proven over time that it is the latter!!
-
Tried it today and it's great...I prefer it to vision.
-
Just ordered mine

I had to check the date there, April 1st is on Friday.

Dates don't come into it, we are talking about achieving optimal results on glass here not everyday window cleaning, i have shared from my experience using microfibers to be the most effective method, as i am sure others will have their own methods.

I'm still using HG window cleaner from B&Q, wouldn't be without it. Can't whack a little something extra to help ya out !! ;D

Hi CleanClear, again everyone to their own method for achieving optimal results i know mine, and i am sure you are happy with yours. Tadgh

How can you now say.."everyone to their own" ? You didn't dip your toe in like that before you said...............

I clean windows, you sell cloths. We ARE talking everyday window cleaning here, as funnily enough, thats what most of us do here. But beyond that, if we whern't getting "optimal results", i'm sure many of us would be on to the fact we could offer a "premium clean " ? And then do it !!
As a window cleaner, hands on using any method i can get my hands on i can tell you that using cloths has its place, and thats all. I'd love to get you infront of a big shop window and watch you buff away inside and out. You'll be there half a day on a shop front and still leave some sort of marks, thats how good cloths are. The rest of us will be gone in ten minutes leaving a perfect finish.

CleanClear, there are plenty on here who sell microfiber cloths, Give me a telescopic mop with two good quality/high performance microfiber glass cloths,(one for cleaning and one for polishing off) put me on a big shop window and i would do it quicker with more effective results than using trad, as we all know you can't use wfp on insides. so i would say from experience i would be finished before you if you were using trad. who knows we may get a chance to go up against each other someday, wonder how many are taking bets :o

I just had a thought !!! As you'll have just read , Lee Pryor is buying 8 new vans. And he's going to be getting 8 new Ionics systems fitted. You could develop a bit of business there, and save him a few grand ? And of course he'll get superior results too !! ;D ;D
