Anyone have any suggestions for locally obtainable glass cleaner?

Sad sack that I am I've been running SDS sheets through AI to try to separate the marketing from the contents of the bottle.

So far bang for buck based on availability and composition seems to be this.

Ai will probably tell you to just make your own easily with white vinegar etc but that option is probably as good as any.

I 've found the Jennychem stuff very good - use it on the car & in the house on mirrors & TV.

Using 'fish scale' type microfibre cloths seems to help as well.

Or maybe old newspaper & white vinegar!

After many failures, I've resorted to a drop or two of Fairy in warm water, scrub glass with the solution using clean (new) microfibre cloth, dry with disposable wipes (e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extra-Large-Industrial-Ce...

Having tried many different over the years (Autoglym, Bilt Hamber Traceless, Meguiars etc) this cheapo bottle from Tesco et al is hands down the best for streak free cleaning. About £1.50 a bottle!

All the Astonish stuff is generally really effective and great value.

£3.50 from Amazon and all the AI engines seem very happy with the SDS and price point.

I'm trying to stay sucked out of it as it's an expensive habit biggrin

Just couldn't justify near £20 with delivery when this stuff is £3.50 on Amazon.
