Title: Solution is bleeding
Post by: [GQC] Tim on October 04, 2006, 08:40:22 am

Hey, I forgot what it means if you get those nice bleeds if you apply your solution to the window, it kinda looks like cracks radiating from one spot....is that because there is too much Fairy Liquid in my solution?

Do you mean runs across the glass from the edges ?

Do you mean the pattern effect that you get when you apply soapy water to a window that has previously been cleaned with Mr Muscle or similar?
These cleaners contain a surfacer which leaves a waxy residue

You can also get the weather conditions where on certain types of windows, after yo uhave squeegee-d the glass, the water around the edges bleeds back out onto the glass and you have to fart about with extra detailing >:(

And it doesn't matter how much detergent you have in your water when it does happen!

However; only use the absolute minimum of detergent in your water, if you put your hand in the water and your fingers feel slippery when you rub them together then you have way too much detergent in the water.
