[QUOTE="WJC, post: 3171145, member: 25191"] Thanks for your "homework." BUT, "new and improved" is, as often as not, sales hype. And, why does an optics cleaner NEED fragrance. Also, what do you suppose is the difference between the original "Aqua tint" and the new "Liqua Tint"? (food color is food color, and not needed in any case.) I was referring to the formula used from its inception. Had you done further homework, using more than one site, you would have come across the following: --February 1, 2015 --"New 'original formula' is disappointing to say the least." --"I'm 64. I've used Windex since the early 1960s. Original Windex with Ammonia D (for "distinguished") in the aerosol can was an outstanding product. Since then, Windex --has been letting me down. I recently cleaned the inside of my car windshield and I had to do it three times to get what I thought was a "streak-free shine." It looked good --UNTIL I drove into the sun. WOW! The windshield, according to my wife, looks even worse than before I "cleaned" it. Not only is it extremely streaky, it is covered with ------large hazy patches. I will have to try and clean it again. --I also cleaned some mirrors around the house. They look pretty good close up. But from across the room, they are all quite streaky. --I am sad that the fine product I grew up with has become just another average window cleaner. I will now try to find a new product that will do what I was hopeful your new "original formula" would do but did not. After more than 50 years, I bid you farewell. --No, I do not recommend this product." I thoroughly understand one upmanship, but, I had more than enough of that over at Cloudy Nights. So, I will leave this conversation, which has been going on unabated for years, for those with nothing better to do than reinvent the tricycle. I tried to help; but I will gladly leave it to those who are forever seeking complex solutions to non-existent problems. :t: Cheers, Bill [/QUOTE]
