Is there any available?

Nothing made for cars shifts the traffic film properly without a ton of
elbow grease at the dry-cloth stage (which would probably do just as
well without the useless glass cleaner spray in the first place).

I had a hell of a problem with the film that ends up on the
inside of the glass of the car. Nothing would shift it. A mate
suggested a commercial product and that works very well
indeed. Not cheap tho. But I dont get traffic film on mine
so I can't see if it works for traffic film as well.


Can you recall the name?

And standard well know household sprays are not shifting oil and
sticker residue from my kitchen windows.

How do you get sticker residue on your kitchen windows ?


New DG panel - came with a big fat sticker

Maybe you mean stickier residue.


No - definately a sticker

Does anyone still sell spray with ammonia in?

Easy enough to do that yourself. Use ammonia that
comes in bottles in those manual spray bottles.


I was about to get to the point of adding some ammonia to windowlene and
see if that works.


I'm sure it used to have either vinegar or ammonia in once??? Why not
now?


Dunno, never used it. Some play silly buggers
fiddling with what works fine for no good reason.
Presumably to justify their employment there etc.

Or at least a solvent that actually dissolves stuff?

Acetone does, but its very dangerous for plastics.

I wouldnt use it on car windows.


I wouldnt either now that there is so much plastic on modern cars.
