gg3 verdict
« on: March 12, 2009, 08:36:10 pm »
well i tried to get on with it, it just does not work for me, it leaves smears behind every time, today i had a whole house to do inside, the sun was blasting at these windows, so thought i would put gg3 to the real test, had the solution ready in a spray bottle. covered the washer and scrubbed the glass, because the glass was hot, i hurried fast as i could but the heat evaporated the solution before i could finish blading of. it left real bad smears, i honestly just could not get the glass clear, lucky i had fairy with me, had to change every thing, restarted the cleaning, and guess what, they all turn out perfect every time, and did not dry out so quickly, reason why i used gg3 was because they say it stays wetter for longer, so thought this situation was perfect to use this stuff, ok i wont blame gg3 i think it was the mixture, pity it was not ready mixed to the right proportion, how do you mix your gg3 or 4, for the record i did use pure water with it

fairy is good for the suds but on internal work attracts dirt and gets a film on quicker than squegee off, this doesnt matter if work has short intervals between cleans but on some commercial work that has intervals of 3 months or over it shows up pretty bad.
  fairy is also horrible when converting to wfp as the suds that come out of seals takes ages to rinse away on first cleans.
  so stan when you convert to wfp [ i know you want to really ;D ;D] dont use fairy for a couple of cleans before hand.

Fairy works better with a new or newish rubber,you don`t get such a film left on the glass with fairy if you use a new blade.

Fairy best,  been window cleaning 15 years with it. So what about the film. As long as all is good when u leave . I have used gg3 and gg4. Both not to my liking. Too much friction. Fairy has plenty of slide.

i assumed the labatory that made this stuff, took in to consideration the rubber needs to glide, after all thats all the soap is for, so i take it these guys where not window cleaners as usual,

I still have some of mine left, it glides fine if you use more of it. it does take getting used to as not as slippy as fairy

GG3 does work but only if you use 10 times the recommended dosage!!!!!! try it. It just won't let the rubber slip other wise, resulting in skip marks & smears.

This makes it uneconomical to use. It does leave a lovely gleam on the glass though.

Here is my recommended solution- 20ml of squeegee off + 5ml of GG3 in 8 to 10 litres of water. = some suds, loads of slip & gleaming glass! :D

Squeegee Off is the best used fairy for 18 years then Squeegee Off the last 2 would never go back to Fairy.

a few have said that squeegee of was good, why does it differ from fairy, is it not a soap the same as fairy

Fairy isnt a soap its a lot stronger its made for getting grease and other crap of dishes.The odd time when i ran out of Squeegee Off and had to use fairy i always thought it left a lot of white marks when it dried in like when you get kick marks of your Squeegie.

so why is squeegee of better darren, in what way, do you think it does a better job, does it shine better, can you give me an example, sorry to ask all those question, but i have never used anything else apart from fairy, and gg3
