You really are a tight arsed miserable git ......nice to see you back though, we had no one to berate . ;)

I'm surprised he didn't suggest an old wiper blade.


When you snap them off some random car, it comes with a nice long handle......

 Dont get suckered into buying the sachets of the Karcher cleaner as it works out very expensive. Instead, you can buy 2  half litre bottles of consentrate that will last forever for about the same price as a box of 10 sachets. just do a search and they will come up

Never get condensation. Probably due to triple glazing throughout.  ::) ::) 8)

That's actually down to appropriate airflow in and out of the house.

Condensation is always cause by poor ventilation.  Thats why double glazing have airvents in the frames, to allow a small controlled draft, not needed when we were lads due to poorly made frames.

Same applies in cars as well, poor airflow causes misting, hence if you get in your car with a soggy coat on, makes sense if its not a stop start trip to tilt sunroof to aid airflow.

My car windscreen is allways covered in condensation when I go out to start it (and a bugga to clear because the drivers side doesnt blow hot air)  so after being parked for 9 months (Covid etc) I decided to get the car on the road for the MOT on the 22nd, so borrowd my Karcher window vac (Long story) and tried it on the windscreen, was an absolute dream to use (just have to go side to side because of the contour) best invest bought in a long time.  Very impressed. :y :y

Make sure you store them with the switch upwards, they are a pretty poor design and water gets into the switch and electrics killing them
