the soap test

[TolishAPurd]

I'm hooked on the aldi magnum premium at the mo.Brilliant stuff.

Totally agree. Its not like any other soaps i've used,it just makes things so easy.

I used GG4 for quite a few years and swore by it. But once I went to Wagtail and started fanning again I discovered that the slip wasn't there. I still got some in the shed. Might throw a little bit of Isopropyl in it and see what happens...Liquidator definitely needs spot on slip. Razer Red Ecover/Isopropyl work really well.

Eric: I found this true as well. Not enough slip. If I add just enough soap to give me a little more slip it leaves very little residue and the windows do not seem to resoil quickly like they do when I try plenty of dish soap. I spoke to the original owner of Titan Industies about ten years ago and complained about the lack of slip. He told me that ANYTHING he could add to his formula to increase slip would also increase the amount of residue left on the glass and that would defeat the whole purpose of using gg4.

I guess they have a new additive to add now. The original owner is no longer with them. I bet he would not approve of the idea. He was against adding ANYTHING! HAHA

 

[BostonMike]

He told me that the GG4 had plenty of slip. Every man is entitled to his own opinion I guess. Haha

I've never tried GG3. Apparently that has OK slip? Yes?

I tried it about ten years ago and I remember it being about the same.

So I went to Aldi the yesterday as I had a job close by, with the sole intention of picking up some more Magnum premium....not a single bottle on the shelves. I looked like a madman lifting up all the other trays to find some, and not even one bottle.....left empty handed.

So I ended up driving past B&Q and went to go pick up some squeegee off. They had none (think it may be homebase I saw it in @tench0771). But they did have this stuff, so I picked up a few bottles.

Very impressed with it today. Nice slip, and no streaking as it is a lot easier to get off than other thick soaps. Bubbles nicely, but no smell, well worth a buy but I'll have to see how economical it works out as it was about 4quid I think.

Wheres that one from mate?

It'll be interesting to see how the hg stacks up to squeegee off. Its got nothing but good reviews online. From using it today I can see why, its very good, I just wish these soaps were a bit cheaper. I always judge a soap on how it handles a first clean.
