You mean georgian panes?

Both of them, mist them lightly with Tesco or Coop window cleaning spray, buff it up with a microfibre cloth.

Or wfp. ;)

Your buffing it up for an eternity, and fairy being fairy leaving behind a film just leaves smears. Look at it in direct sunlight, and you'll see. You need fast evaporating stuff. And fairy is just not suitable for that.  :)

they stay cleaner for longer, making your job easier, fairy attracts dirt, cant knock the stuff as I used it for years.
