Hi.Seen this used on vid and looks impressive. Apparently its as if squeegee is on ballbearings. I use Unger at the moment but has anyone used this and if so,whats it like. Available in Homebase so easier to get and also very cheap.Thanks in advance.Graham ???

Used to use it but swapped to the co ops own brand of eco washing up liquid. I think it's even better than ecover.

its cheap and its widely available and it doesnt leave a sticky residue like fairy for example.glide is ok.good stuff.

ive used gg3 and squeegee off and they are both good although gg3 just isnt suddy enough to provide good slip plus these are expensive.

i dont do much trad these days so im sticking to ecover.the bottles are big as well.one bottle lasts me a year now!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

If I trad I use whatever is in the shop its all much of a muchness imo. Cheaper stuff  you need to use more than say fairy. Used gg3 waste of money, doesn't glide only ok if you are new to it and do a lot of detailing because it doesn't sud up

For the few jobs I trad (mainly inside factories and offices) I use unger liquid which I find cleans brilliant but I add a drop of fairy also to give the squeegee a bit more glide

Try it you might like it
You can buy 1L of unger liquid for about £3-4
Thanks,

Just a washing up liquid that cost 2 or 3 times the price of other washing up liquids!

yes it gives a very good finish in the cold conditions like now.. But even "ME" must admit Ecover is good to work with for ease.

I tried out Ecover and didn't feel that it worked as well as good old Fairy, so have gone back to the latter, with a capful of vinegar in the water. Works a treat.
