In theory vinegar is great, it's the smell in the van that put me of.

Now use Squegee Off.

Put vinegar on your chips as Tosh said.

im gonna buy some squeegie off at one point, maybe next time i place an order for rubbers and my ergotech handles, but untill then i wanna mess around with cheap and nasty mixes just to see if there is much difference etc.
personally i cant see there would be much difference anyway? my windows look to me clean and shiny every time.....can they actually get much cleaner or shinier? hmm ;)

Try a squirt of dishwasher rinse aid and see the difference that makes.
No good if you like loads of suds though. Dai

as usual it prbably depends on what yr waters like mines 30ppm i use fairy & clear vinegar - 1 sometimes 2 rubbers a month. a splash of vinegar eg i bottle a fortnihgt but more for the insides  especially if they smoke

mmm chips :)

never put vinegar in  the bucket, only used fairy or persil washing up liquid, tried Unger soln but didn't like it.  Why don't you just try some 5% ethanoic acid soln??
