if you use it in a spray bottle only use this method on maintenance cleans, lightly spray and buff with a dry micro fibre.

when i use it in a bucket i put it on the applicater then put the applicater in the bucket.

i hate fairy liquid i dont use it in the house or for cleaning windows

Jouk when fairy liquid dries i find it leaves a white residue on the window like when you get kick marks of your squeegie.

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

ok i thought i would give it one more bash as i had a big inside job this morning, so i followed your instructions marmac, and guess what, it was brilliant, lovely and smooth no juddering or friction, and the shine was great, custy was over the moon, i never had squeegee of so i just added 6 drops of fairy, so which did the job was it the fairy or gg3  ;D

Fairy and Squeegee off have high levels of salt and leave a residue in the seals etc.

First shower of rain and the windows will spot.

Glass Gleam does not contain salt and will leave very little residue on the windows

I can WFP windows that have been cleaned with GG3 with no spotting. Do the same with Fairy or Sq Off and they usually spot.

Just my experience.

i would agree with fairy but never had that problem with squeegee off as yet.
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

yeah, that'll have a similar effect. I used to use gg3 + ecover washing up liquid. As said, you need to add something to gg3 to get the slip. I would advise you get a small bottle of squeegee off the next time you order some stuff & try the ultimate solution! :D

Before i used Sqeegee Off i tried Unger first used it for about 3 months found you had to use loads of it to get suds but loved the smell of it i then tried Squeegee Off and used to use both part Squeegee part Unger it worked well but thought it was a bit stupid using both so just use Squeegee Off now and it works great.

Fairy problems yes, never had a problem with squeegee off though. Where is it that you get the high salt levels information from? Never heard of it. :)

Scroll down

Salt creates slip.

There was a product that only provided slip and not cleaning. Can't recall the name.

Like the others, I find GG3 excellent but you need to use more than the baottle tells you (much like squeegee off actually)

We use approx 35ml per 5 litres of water
