Just looking for some advice here chaps...
I am using The Pill by Unger at the moment, but I don't really like them that much :-\. Do any of you recommend these, or do you think there is something better out there?
Thanks in advance ;)
-
Ettore rubbers are better (so I've heard, apparently) ;D
-
We use Syr Glimmer, cheap and good slip co-efficient been using it for 7 years now with 6 window cleaners and never had a complaint from them or our customers. I've tried other more expensive products and they do no different to what glimmer does, some are a LOT worse.
Best thing to do is try a few different ones and see which one you like best, it's all about you and what your preferences are.

W5 from LIDL is what i use. has very good slip .
-
Squeegee off for me. Results will be different for all solutions in different parts of the country because of the hardness of the water.

ive used gg3 with pure water for 3 years and its fine, sometimes add a little white vinegar for dirty jobs. getting the mix right with gg3 is a little trial an error
-
I too used the Unger pill. It is very expensive if you use the correct concentration. I find that very few can match fairy liquid on cleaning power.

You know what Hitman, that's exactly what a custy said to me the other day, "how come there's no bubbles?" ??? ???
I told him not to worry about the bubbles, and just look at the beautiful job I had done ;) "Lovely job son," he responded, " 'ere's an extra quid" Lovely jubbly, I'm on the raz tonight!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I think I will try Fairy, and work my way up to a solution I feel happy with, only time will tell.

Does your Polarwash leave your hands soft and gentle like mild green Fairy Liquid? :D :D :D ;)

i used to get that really bad, try wearing waterproofs in colder / wet weather and in summer use at little water as you can to stop drips , but sometimes like me it just happens its horrible
barrier cream on your leg ie vaseline or something similar could work too

either that or ur all very messy ;D ;D

I bought a box of glass wash detergent from a car boot, this is the stuff they use in pubs for drinking glasses, fantastic stuff.
When I was trad I used to put a dash of dishwasher rinse aid in the bucket, this is brilliant if you use a Wagtail as an all in one tool, no suds and loads of slide on the glass. Absolutely no blow back over the blade on windy days.

try this out mates does work rinse aid from wilkos £1.70 stick in ya water or add to your wfp tanks gives a good glide and finish its designed to lave less spotting on ya glass
