I just had a couple of drinks or I might not have mentioned it. Mind you though I always get my wife to go and buy it for me and always put in another jar before going out on the road with it.

Are you all serious? What a waste of KY??? Just kidding!! I have checked and I can get a huge bottle of generic lotion a LOT cheaper than the smallest tube of KY. The lotion works great for me.

I use Cornhuskers out of a ketchup squeeze bottle. It's water-washable and seems to be good for the rubber suction cups.
I stopped using windex for washing w/s's and now get 'Misty' foaming glass cleaner from Hippo in New York. It cleans better than windex and no ammonia, so it's easy on my beat-up hands. It figures out to about ten cents per windshield and at about $2.60 a can it makes a nice gift for good customers.

Who would have thought that KY Jelly could get you out of a tight squeeze. LOL

Thank you all for all of your suggestions. I'll try the Glycerine, KY Jelly or the Generic Lotion depending on the costings and the usage. Cheers!
