Title: WD40 on windows
Post by: sparklebright on September 20, 2009, 11:30:27 am: The Primark store I clean has had it's Stainless Steel with WD40 among other things.
I'm WFP but do trad too.

What best to get it off, it makes the squeegee smear.
Very hot & soapy maybe? :-\

Then the windows are cleaned traditionally after.

Post by: Totus on September 21, 2009, 08:30:24 pm: use Ali from auto smart on upvc (supposed to be used for alloy wheels) use gloves and eye wear and make sure you water it down first . Don't leave on glass if it drips as it will etch. Sounds like a nightmare but this stuff is the nuts bloke who does industrial cleaning for a big firm put me on to it.

25 litres for about £80 but it will last you years as you will use most of it 1 part in 4
