At the moment i use morning fresh lemon and it works fine cuts through grease no probs and has a nice glide when blading,i have also used fairy and persil and they also both work fine i just buy what`s on offer at the shops at the time

,
i have also used unger liquid but think it`s far too expensive,

same here but i'm thinking of trying GG3 / GG4 because i heard when0 it dries it dries clear not white which I think is handy!

Dish washing machines, especially the ones they use in pubs to do glasses never seem to leave spots.
So I have never understood why we just can't use some form of rinse aid and leave the windows wet.

RO and pure de ionised water is a physics solution, but there must also be a chemistry solution.

Morning fresh, and dishwasher rinse aid in equal amounts. Plenty of glide and very few suds to blow back over the blade. DaI

shaun
been useing gg4 for a bit more than a week now and it does dry white, in fact had a bad day today because of it.
but gonna stick with it, because i reckon it is good stuff, but just needs somthing to mix in with it !!!

Just use a stronger mix and you will be fine!

I find it works best with new rubbers!

with gg3/4 IMO you must double (at least) the stated dose or you'll just get no slip & this alone causes marks to be left behind as the rubber skips etc. so you need to add somthing to the mix to get some slip (trial & error for ratios) . my personal favourite is ecover washing up liquid, i was given the tip on this forum & never looked back. it also thickens the solution too so its not so runny (which helps)

ECOVER - is a clear washing up solution that is made from 100% natural ingredients, its eco-friendly (obviously) & is available from most supermarkets, get mine from morrisons.

Squeegie off.

I have tried virtually all of the window cleaning solutions and washing up liquid and think myself squeegie off it far better than all of them.

But its all down to personal taste.
