Windolene

[Stuart Noble]

Windolene Original Cream. Made by Reckitt Benckiser, but it doesn't seem to feature on their website. Maybe they've flogged the brand. Plenty on EBay if you're really keen

Thanks

Years ago I remember a white cleaner called "Tinkerbell". It was far superior to Windolene as it was far easier to polish off. It dissapeared off the market. Perhaps it was purchased by Reckitts.

The OP could also try Auto Glym windscreen cleaner paste.

Ye can get same thing here branded as Windolene Clear, and it is indeed the second best way of unblocking fouled up Epsons.

The first best method for an old Epson involves the dustbin (or freecycle) and purchasing a cheap replacement inkjet printer made by Canon....

Dunno about that stuff but you could always use the chalky greenhouse shading stuff on it - wipe it on wet and it dries to a chalky translucent white that can be brushed off when you're ready.

Took it off our greenhouse today. It's lasted all through the winter and the wind-driven torrential rains. Dunno how, it comes off really easily when you wipe it!

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Rod saying something like:

The last time I tried to clean the printhead on an Epson I let the magic smoke out.
