Vision or Sparkle?

[David K]

That's great, thanks for the info... Lol, we've all got some weird customers, maybe there are some window sniffers out there.

I use something called Enigma from the same company that produces vision.... it really does make a difference. Seems to help with bird muck and certainly helps the water sheet over the glass better!

I have used both versions of vision and can only echo what has already been said, and no great difference despite my initial positive views most likely placebo effect and on certain jobs with tiny specks of dirt off a flat roof after a heavy downpour of rain, for example, made it painfully slow to rinse down the glass and get all those tiny bits off.

I am using Added Sparkle Diamond Shine from Mark Munro, it does help cut through snail trails faster, I only put around 5ml in my 425ltr tank which reduces the amount of bubbles you can get from it considerably if you add too much

its defently a lot cheaper than the other too i no @Pjj loves vision but not shore if he tried the others

lol they are all a placebo total waist of time , why spend hundreds or thousands of pounds on filtration to remove stuff from water to make it pure then just chuck this rubbish straight in your tank causing bio accumulation , blocking pumps and loads of bubbles

So your still not a fan

So your still not a fan

If it actually did some good then I would use it but it’s a placebo, all that’s needed is pure reading 000 will remove all normal dirt

Hi Since i have taken over added sparkle now known as Diamond Shine people would have seen a massive difference in the product it is made in a laboratory not at home in a shed as before it comes with all the cosh needed the improvements are from the smell to the proformance i spent a great deal of time and research into getting this product right it does not block up pumps it smells great it helps with bird muck,snail trials and makes the brush glide loverly and from as little as £12 a bottle a bargain i hope

It did block up pumps many people reported that issue it was like a gell laying on the bottom of the tank and then got sucked into the filter or pump . Has the formula changed now stopping that ? I don’t think most are worried about a smell when they have there windows cleaned certainly my customers wouldn’t be interested in that . And as for the bubbles well again it took ages to rinse , it’s not needed we clean loads of salty seagull poo covered windows that ime confident will be some of the worst in the country done a hotel today right on the cliffs the windows were opaque with salt and they were done 4 weeks ago just hot pure water reading 000 is all that’s needed for this type of work

sounds like we work in very similar conditions @Pjj the coast can be brutal when it comes to salt on the glass and bird muck ! @mark m you have definitely got the price right proof is in the pudding as they say, Im going to order a bottle to trial i think

Yes quite likely , but unlike you I won’t be ordering it I wouldn’t want to contaminate my tank with it

 

[tench0771]

I get bored sometimes and fancy a change

Yes the formul has changed and that is why i know it does not clog the tank i also live on the coast in fact 500yds from the sea so know how bad the windows get

Hi tench now you tried diamond shine for a couple of months what do you think ?

 

[tench0771]

I find it fantastic it is better when you go in at 4 mill per 100 l of water you then really see a speed in cleaning it just flushes out the from the rubbers strate away one commercial job I do I’ve had loads of trouble with it the rubbers that hold the glass in just wouldn’t flush out so had to clean frames first let it dry up then do glass with out getting water on the top rubbers but since using dimond shine i just clean as normal and no issues so it’s definitely a quality additive
