even tho most peops on here told me vinegar is for chips, i gave it a go mixed with fairy(for dishes, i know i know lol) but it worked a treat! have had a few customers comment on how sparkly the windows were :D
so i was just wondering what wiered and wonderful (or not) things you've tried?
e.g cillet bang and fairy or whatever ;)
-
Ive never tried vinegar but i may give it a go.....FAIRY LIQUID is king!!!!!! Best thing for windows...forget all that high powered chemical rubbish.
-
yup been using fairy for about 7 years now ;) how can a window get any cleaner anyway? if you can see through it and theres no marks then its clean right! ;)

Vinegar on Windows is something my Grandma always used and when my Grandad was to old to do the windows after the first couple of months using a W/C she actually told him the glass wasnt as clear as when Grandad did it and only made him use Vinegar lol.

I agree..
Fairy is the best....FACT.........

Steel wool ,ammonia , toilet bowl cleaner,oven cleaner

I dunno, I haven't tried fairy on my chips ???

Do you think Walkers will bring out Salt & GG3 flavour?

Vinigar is good but not to much coz we gotta work all day with the water and too much just stinks. You cant get rid of the smell

Dishwasher rinse aid with your normal solution. Been using it for ages now.
Brillant if you use an all in one tool like the Wagtail combi or Backflip. Dai

just dont use to much then m8 ;)
i havent had that problem with it yet

i always use fairy and vinegar, the knack is getting the mix right. in summer use more vinegar i find. TOSH always knocks me for swearing by vinegar, but works for me.
Each to their own though, as long as the window sparkles and the customer is happy too!

fairy and vinegar is my new best friend lol ;)

Using rince aid means very little suds, nothing to blow back over the top on windy days. Less suds means less water on the glass. The water seems to go on in a film. It really cleans the glass, and I find cuts down on detailing. Try some with a cheap washing liquid, it's not expensive. Dai

Have any of you 1940's throwbacks ever used professional detergent like "Glimmer Clean" or "Squegee Off"?
If you had you would see the benefits from day 1. ;)

Firstly I wasn't born in 1940's and secondly yes I have and I can see the benefits but not much advantage! ;D

Yea, it's similar to GG4 they say (or maybe even GG4 rebranded) but no glide at all. Which is a pain.

That's what I've been saying for a while now, washing up liquid leaves a film, a film that you don't want on your glass. Leave it for the dishes.

Sorry, mate; I do plan to give it a go! ;D

Dont do it Tosh, it's 60 years out of date.
Your trying to present a professional image, and you will smell like a post war chip shop.
