Try gouging your eyes out with a stick. That should do it.

I think there is something called sparkle, you can get it from ebay.

Yep, I use something that gives sparkle, good slide for the brush and does a great job.
It's not that expensive either which is a win win.
It's......... Drum roll........ Pure water

If you can’t clean windows with just cold pure water then maybe you need more practice? are you a newbie?

You can get it from rutlands but I'd rather someone tried gouging their eyes out with a stick. Wait a minute did someone near Dazmonds area not just get 32 years for this kind of stuff!

It'll go back to the splash of eclover for some bubbles but still zero tds of even IPA.... Gives it more slip.... Better for aqua phobic glass and so on.

Would American   pale ale work just as well ?

All this nonsense is just a placebo.

I tried it and made no difference.  If you feel you need something else to get clean windows then your doing something wrong.

Warm or hot water will make a difference for the user during the cold months , but I can’t see any additives making the job easier- just turn your flow up and rinse more. I started years ago with a pure Freedom trolley with the flow on 12! Now I have it on 70 in a van mount  and it makes a massive difference

The mind always wonders, it's not that anyone is doing anything wrong it's down to marketing. This game is like the golf business where people buy any old sh! t thinking it'll make their game better or more comfortable.

I've used Isoproponal, £65 for a 25 litre drum delivered from EBay.
It suds up the same and sparkles too,might not be the same stuff but works just as good with no tds at a fraction of the costs of these brands.

Yes just use pure water , people spend thousands of pounds on filtration to take everything out of the water then throw these addertives in ther tanks pure madness : they are not needed if you have 000 tds water : if doing really bad first clean with cold water spray with virosol scrub rinse job done ; these addertives are a placebo: many have later admitted that they cause problems with leaving rings difficult to get rid of bubbles slower rinsing etc

I have to agree with Reflections, I think it's a placebo.
Either pay the money for the vision (if you genuinely think this works) or maybe, try without it for a while and see how you get on.

Let me give you an example:
I'm going bald, no denying it, I look like professor 'Pat Pending' from Wacky Races...on a bad day.
Mrs Window Cleaner works in Boots, so she got me some of this German Caffeine Hair Shampoo; it's supposed to stimulate hair growth and is bloody expensive.
So I try it. Put some on and it stings like hell. I thought it was going to burn the skin off my head.
However, next morning I look in the mirror and hey presto! I have a full head of hair.
I think I look like Brad Pitt, where in actual fact I look like his cousin 'Sess'.
Placebo.   ;D
