Believe you have Winsol Crystal Clear 550 there in the UK.
This is the first time I tried it to see how it worked about 10 years ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4GqT9V4OzE
Done this video about 10 years ago. Just trying these chemicals CC550 cleaner / OneRestore to see how they REMOVE HARD WATER STAINS 0FF WINDOWS.
Also at that time we were (not wearing the appropriate PPE.)
So be sure you wear the right PPE when using these chemicals.

yes I can see your resurrecting 11 year old videos again ::)roll
I would look out the last person on here to keep reviving old threads got banned :o
g'day

The reason put this up because all this guy from UK could do is talk about it.
Just show on a piece of glass with ( hardly no hard water damage) on it.
Not on actual windows with Heavy Calcium Stains in real time.
Which CC550 is used for.

This video was done 12 years ago think it explains it better:
For glass that won't come clean with routine washing or extra elbow grease, or for glass with a haze or etching caused by hard water, pollutants or runoff from cement.
Helps to eliminate alkaline residues, exhaust particles, chemical and mineral deposits, water spots and the runoff from brick, concrete and mortar. Designed to remove stage 1 alkaline buildup on glass. Restores the surface clarity of glass by reducing the affects of minute pitting and hard water buildup. One gallon can restore up to 4,000 square feet of glass.

Don’t use it on old single pane glass. I wrecked one with that acid. It’s not that good.
I have a bottle in the van, it’s been there for at least ten years. You certainly don’t need a video link to show how to use it.

I have a bottle in the van, it’s been there for at least ten years. You certainly don’t need a video link to show how to use it.
And it sounds like you ( have not used it properly) there more then just putting it on the glass and scrubbing.
Here is a brief look what it is used for.
Much of what happens to glass is so gradual that one does not often see anything wrong with the window.
It is not until the window is washed and the haze remains, that the damage is noticed.
Part of the visible haze may be mineral deposits, structure runoff, pollution in the air or other contaminates, which attach tenaciously to the glass.
Such deposits damage glass and do not readily come off with just regular washing.
Overtime these surface deposits and etching of the glass can be perceived as cloudiness or hazing.
This is known as stage I and stage II corrosion. Stage I corrosion can be cleared so that visibility is restored to the glass.
Stage II corrosion may look hazy, white or even in some cases clear, as it holds on to the damaged particles until they are released by cleaning or clearing the glass.
Cloudiness occurs because the light is refracted irregularly as it passes through the irregular surface of the damaged glass.
This refracted light appears to the human eye, without magnification, as a general whitening or haziness of the glass.
CRYSTAL CLEAR 550 will clear away only mineral deposits and damaged glass from the surface and may expose stage II corrosion.
Stage II corrosion is usually not correctable using compounds such as CRYSTAL CLEAR 550 and can be made worse by any attempt to clear.
(That is why the product label and literature expresses to test every window before clearing.)
If the pre-existing damage is substantial then mechanical polishing or glass replacement may be necessary.

…. and you sir, fail to listen! Common trait on this forum.

So here is how to use it as per: WINSOL Laboratories, Inc.
READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
USE STRAIGHT OR DILUTED BY 50% WITH COOL WATER. ALWAYS WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, BOOTS AND SPLASH GOGGLES. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN.
Always use plastic pails and containers.
Do not use metal or painted containers.
Clean window glass before using (CRYSTAL CLEAR-550. CRYSTAL CLEAR-550 is NOT a cleaner. )
ALWAYS TEST GLASS BEFORE APPLYING CRYSTAL CLEAR-550 TO ENTIRE WINDOW.
Check for surface coatings and residues such as silicone treatment, building sealer and waxes.
(According to some glass manufacturers, silicone treatments and building sealers may be removed by applying toluene first to soften the film and a low abrasive rubbing compound to remove the residue.
CHECK BOTH SIDES OF GLASS FOR STAGE II CORROSION.
(GLASS WILL USUALLY TURN WHITE WITH COATINGS AND STAGE II CORROSION WHEN TESTED.)
STAGE II CORROSION IS NOT CORRECTABLE AND GLASS SHOULD BE REPLACED.
Apply CRYSTAL CLEAR-550 with a natural sponge or a clean, white cloth.
Wring sponge or cloth to prevent runoff.
Keep solution from running down any building or other surfaces.
If product runs down the glass, it is being overused.
Apply for one to two minutes, then rinse with water or a dilute solution of trisodium phosphate.
Repeat as necessary.
DO NOT USE CRYSTAL CLEAR-550 ON WINDOW FRAMES OR ANY NON-GLASS SURFACE.
DO NOT USE ON SELF-CLEANING (TITANIUM) GLASS.
RINSE AWAY ANY SPILLS IMMEDIATELY.
NOTE: If glass becomes hazed or white, proceed no further until you can determine if it is a coating, building sealer or Stage II corrosion, or if given permission by supervision or building management personnel.
CAUTION:
Contains Acid: CAS 7664-39-3.
Do not take internally.
Do not rub in with fingers or permit contact with skin or eyes. Always wash hands and contaminated skin after using, paying particular attention to skin under nails.
Avoid breathing vapors.

Well glade you pointed that out as said in the video this was when we were first trying it out.
In the ten years since we have found how to use it correctly.
And it's just as relevant now.
How do you use CC550??
-
It’s taken you ten mins ears to work out how to use it - wow!
Then if there is underlying damage what was the point in applying it in the first place just to reveal more damage you can’t correct - this just leads to confrontation with the customer…

We don’t offer a glass restoration service to busy with normal cleaning , if it’s bad like that we recommend they replace the affected glass as it’s cheaper than trying to restore it and new glass will be guaranteed to be ok .

Have no doubt that you run a very successful business.
And restoring glass doesn’t pay for you.
As you probably not that interested to look into it any way.
That's fine, but there many people that do glass restoration that are always' looking for new way' of doing this.
This is for those people.
-
Its not a new way tho, is it - its donkeys years old
I did try this many years ago when I thought all this restoration stuff should be part of my window cleaning service..
its not very good - also the time and effort required to restore a window is just not cost efective, its would be great if you actually brought something NEW to the forum - not recycling old products and your old videos

I think window cleaning in Australia must be different to the uk I know dozens of window cleaners and none of them offer restoration they are all to busy doing monthly cleans that pay well .

Nasty stuff, can’t be bothered with it, would be safer and less hassle to get the pane replaced.
Like I said, it’s nothing new. I’ve had a bottle for at least ten years and never use it. But you’re too stupid to listen.
I can only imagine Winsol must be a company you want to advertise on your dire turgid videos for some reason, money most likely.
Every post you do is a link to your youtube crap.
And that’s about it!
