Side note: had a customer call me to remove all the tint from every window she had because itā€™s too dark. Turns out its smoked. No film on either side the storefront glass is fabricated dark. Uh, sorry maā€™am no can do but about my trip charge. ā€¦

agreed. donā€™t try this at home kids.

GG4 + Dawn = Waste of money. One is a surfactant the other is not, one negates the other. Go read the MSDS if you do not believe me. Like others have said, add a small cap of ammonia and isopropyl alcohol to Dawn if you want more cleaning power with the slip.

OR

Leave GG4 alone or add some of the Titan slip (which i personally have not seen any improvement in slip) For best results ā€œactivateā€ GG4 in a small dispenser bottle with a few oz of water. FYI, I have found the foam spray solution of Bar Keepers Friend to improve the slip on GG4. All it has in it is Citric Acid, Water and Oxalic acid. A few sprays on the mop and thatā€™s all you need really to improve cleaning and slip for a good 20 panels then spray again.

I know this is old but I figured Iā€™d add something, use GG3 much better than GG4 in my opinion, more Suds much much more slip, if you need more slip or if itā€™s hot hazy humid in the Sun and itā€™s drying too fast add 1 oz of winsol super slip, I started this about 1 month ago cuz itā€™s been very hot and humid and it works great

Slip wasnā€™t the major issue to me. Yes slip wasent great with GG4 but there are additives that can make it better. To me the biggest issue was the lack of sudz. Once you applied it to a piece of glass especially a large one like you would find in route work it was almost impossible to see the solution. Wich for me made it a lot harder to clean the glass.

If your only using the suds for a guide of where to squeegee that comes in time as ability gets better.
