Other than GG 3/4  what soap can you get to make windows really sparkle?

even if the soap is not window cleaning related anything out there you can put in your water??

Squeegee off. Got a 5 litre container of it for about £18 inc P+P from ebay. That should last me for about a year with the amount you need to use in your water!  ;D

squeegee off with a drop of gg3, helps to prevent bleeding & leaves glass sparkling. ;)

Deffo "Sqeegee off" for me. Fantastic stuff and works well with both very hard water and pure water.

Tried GG3 and loved the fresh smell of the stuff but didn't really find it much better than fairy when cleaning with the sun full on the glass.

squeege off great stuff, ive had my 5 litre tub over a year now, admitedly i am 100% wfp but i do trad at least once a day, you can just add a little bit of it and it lasts for ages! what i usually do is leave the water in the bucket just grab me mop and blade and its always ready to go...tis cold though. nicer warm or hot

I assume you are all talking about Ettore Squeegee off?

Is it right  they sell it in B&Q?
Cheers,
