Ran out of Squeegee off a couple of weeks back and haven't been anywhere near B&Q to restock so have been using Fairy instead.

Verdict: Zero difference (except that Fairy is a quarter of the price and obtainable anywhere).

[Alistair@AWC]

Simon,

Can you really buy Squeegee off at B&Q?

[Slash]

I don't think you can,you used to but they have stuff called "Quikey"or something now

[simon knight]

You can at my B&Q. New Malden Branch.

Doesn't matter to me now...I'm a Fairy Man

No contest GG3 beats both of them 'hands down' 

[simon knight]

Never tried GG3...why is it so good?

[Alex Gardiner]

Excellent cleaning results and virtually no 'creep-in' from the edges after squeegeeing = less detailing needed.

[simon knight]

Cheers. Will give it a try when my love affair with the Fairy bottle has run it's course.

No visable difference, but fairy leaves a residue which attracts dust and smoke more than "Squeegee off".

nothing wrong with that,gives me something to get off the next clean

Now using GG4 - very hard water area,

Beats Fairy by a long way.!   

Certainly sped up doing the windows and had a few custy's say they are extra shiney....

I'll second that. Started using GG4 today and it beats squeegee off by miles. Never tried fairy.

I mix my GG3 with a little bit of squeegee off so theres some suds on the window and a little bit better on the slip and i think its great stuff.

expensive but i find my rubbers last longer because when using fairy i get lots of lines etc when blading.

[macmac]

For the guys who only use GG3/4 on it's own- what rubber do you use?

I use pulex standard & to fan the squeegee with gg3 I need to use loads of the stuff just to get enough slip!

[Mike_G]

I used gg something, not sure which and was not impressed at all.

[jouk45]

when you buy gg3-4 for the first time, you get the mixing bottle with it, you dont need to ad soap, i use ettor soft rubber, and it glides easily, dont know about other rubbers, but i wouldnt have thought it would make any diffrence which type you use, if you ad soap, it stops the product from doing what it is meant to do, i think it cuts the shine down,

[Ian W]

I am using Unger soft rubber. I only used a small amount of gg4 today and didn't have any problems with slip.

Well i didnt get any mixing bottle with it, It doesnt cut the shine done at all the shine is outstanding even when mixing it with a little bt of other soap

[Sean Dyer]

I just found the benefits of squeegee off/gg3 not worth the difference in price to a good old bottle of fairy , but when i have used them in the past they do have advantages in that they arent so quick to streak if you leave a small streak or water behind... BUt that happens so rarely that fairy is fine for me, and it makes your hands soft
