Anyway, where do you get 0000 steel wool, looked in Woolies, they had Steelo but it had no rating.
From where I live it's a 50k round trip to a major shopping centre so going from shop to shop is something I try to avoid.

Paul, Most good paint centres or hardware stores should have 0000 steel wool.

Bunnings have it in the paint department.


Peter.

Just a word of caution,don't touch any window that has been tinted as steel wool will damage it.

Thanks for that Russell.
Sturdee, the nearest Bunnings for us is a 50k round trip - we have a no name hardware which is expensive and a Mitre10 which is known as Mitre5 cos they only ever have half of what you need.

Lewis ..... I'm glad to read that this post was about an issue with the windows in your van ..... For a moment I thought you were going to be asking for help with Windows 95

For shower screens, I suggest either Shower Power Amazing Bathroom Cleaner or Easy-Off BAM (in the pump pack, not aerosol) and a green nylon scour.

The first has a nicer smell, so it's my preferred treatment. It seems to be a mix of D-limoline and citric acid.

The second's main ingredient is sulphamic acid - seems to work just as well, but has a more chemical smell. Might be better as an initial 'oh god this is so disgusting' treatment.

Don't knock W95, it was one of the better ones - I only changed from 95 when I built a P4 box, then ran Win2k for years until I needed google sketchup, and finally changed to Win7 in 2011 when I wanted more than 3gig of ram.
