WD40 on windows
« on: September 20, 2009, 11:30:27 am »
The Primark store I clean has had it's Stainless Steel with WD40 among other things.
I'm WFP but do trad too.

What best to get it off, it makes the squeegee smear.
Very hot & soapy maybe? :-\

Put a brick through the window in the night and the next time you clean it the problem will have gone ;D ;D

I use WD-40 on black and brown guttering, I spray onto an old tea towel the buff up.
Then the windows are cleaned traditionally after.

I use Syroflex on White UPVC, I was told Syroflex isnt very good on coloured plastics.

use Ali from auto smart on upvc (supposed to be used for alloy wheels)  use gloves and eye wear and make sure you water it down first . Don't leave on glass if it drips as it will etch. Sounds like a nightmare but this stuff is the nuts bloke who does industrial cleaning for a big firm put me on to it.

25 litres for about £80 but it will last you years as you will use most of it 1 part in 4
