At the moment i use morning fresh lemon and it works fine cuts through grease no probs and has a nice glide when blading,i have also used fairy and persil and they also both work fine i just buy what`s on offer at the shops at the time ;D,
i have also used unger liquid but think it`s far too expensive,

same here but i'm thinking of trying GG3 / GG4 because i heard when0 it dries it dries clear not white which I think is handy! ;)
-
Dish washing machines, especially the ones they use in pubs to do glasses never seem to leave spots.
So I have never understood why we just can't use some form of rinse aid and leave the windows wet.
RO and pure de ionised water is a physics solution, but there must also be a chemistry solution.
-
Morning fresh, and dishwasher rinse aid in equal amounts. Plenty of glide and very few suds to blow back over the blade. DaI

From washing up liquid to GG3/4 - no problem ::).
For me anyway :P :-[.

GG3 for me although it can be hard to work with sometimes.
Fairy :o suds all over the place! BIG no!

been useing gg4 for a bit more than a week now and it does dry white, in fact had a bad day today because of it.
but gonna stick with it, because i reckon it is good stuff, but just needs somthing to mix in with it !!!
-
Just use a stronger mix and you will be fine!
I find it works best with new rubbers!
-
Cheers Pete must have heard it wrong then probably thanks for input!

with gg3/4 IMO you must double (at least) the stated dose or you'll just get no slip & this alone causes marks to be left behind as the rubber skips etc. so you need to add somthing to the mix to get some slip (trial & error for ratios) . my personal favourite is ecover washing up liquid, i was given the tip on this forum & never looked back. it also thickens the solution too so its not so runny (which helps) ;D ;D ;D
ECOVER - is a clear washing up solution that is made from 100% natural ingredients, its eco-friendly (obviously) & is available from most supermarkets, get mine from morrisons. ;)

Squeegee off all the way :)
Ban Fairy from Window Cleaning lol
-
Squeegie off.
I have tried virtually all of the window cleaning solutions and washing up liquid and think myself squeegie off it far better than all of them.
But its all down to personal taste.

tried macmac's idea today of mixing ecover with my gg4 and it works, good stuff macmac,
did find that it worked with clean water but after a few jobs needed to change water again because it started to leave white marks , once the water was new it worked a treat :)
-
Having used washing up liquid for years ( often mixed with amonia ) I started to try other liquids about 2 years ago , Between Squeegee Off , Unger Liquid and GG3 I find Squeege Off by far the best , Having tried to get GG3 for ages (living in Germany) I was quite disappointed when I tried it , You notice the difference on a sunny day when both sides of the window have been cleaned, I still use washing up liquid now and again if I run out of Sgueegee Off but if you dose correctly there is no big price difference :)
-
hi malone,
where in germany are you ?
i used to live in a small town called mettmann, came back about 27 years ago.

double the dose of your gg4 from what is recomended on the bottle, then its a bit of trial & error for the amount of ecover. when you get the mix right the water lasts longer, i know exactly what you mean about the water getting dirty & thus the solution not working as good, but when you get the dosage right you'll see a big difference. ;) ;)
