best chemical for trad

F

having over the last 30 years used every washing up liquid in the world have just started to use squeegee off and have to say its the best so far lot less detailing less soap on sills and easy to blade

 
Washing up liquid- Aldi magnum premium.

Window soap (only evertried 1): HG Window Soap. Beats the dish soaps hands down, just a bit pricey. I suspect its the same stuff as squeegee off, just different branding, but who knows.

 
I found the best chemical was one called 'WFP' worked brilliant when I tried it :rofl:

 
I used to use HG System, but found it difficult to get recently so started to use Squeegee off, and I think it is the same stuff as HG System, even the packaging, and I've found it OK to use. I add some washing up liquid to it as well.

You can pick it up in B&Q mate, I stocked up in it last time I went, and even hid a few bottles round the back of the others just in case they run out. /emoticons/wink.png

 
You'd be hard pushed to beat me at tradding speed with a wfp but the time it takes to go get my trad gear out for the bottoms once i have finished the tops i can just wfp them as quick

Thinking of making something on my trolley to hold my wagulator and spray bottle so i can have it to hand whenever needed

 
Others have mentioned previously that GG4 didn't really have much slip. I was thinking of trying some or the Ettore squeegee off.

 
dont buy unger liquid /emoticons/biggrin.png its dung ettore squeege off for me frm now on once i have used my 5 l of the stuff :rolleyes:

 
Forgot I got some GG4 when I bought the Pulex kit, going to give that a go tomorrow, been using Ecover and getting good results with that. Is the GG4 suitable for first cleans or should I stick with the Ecover for that?

 
Are all the different Ecovers as good as each other....camomile and marigold or liquid lemon and aloe vera etc

 
Do u use owt else with it, i know some use vineger etc. Also do you use it when working with liquidator.?

 
I use ecover and white vinegar

Ecover has lovely slip but sometimes struggles with bad greasy marks

Vinegar gives it a big boost
