Bend a wire coat hanger to a diamond shape, you can tac weld the wire together to make a stem/ handle and use that

Hellerine oil is the best by far. If you are close to Tamworth, I have plenty so could spare you some. Makes the job 10x easier.

I heard on here that furniture polish works well, so I used that.
Be careful with WD40, it's a bugger if you get it on the window glass.

Car wash wax works and has no corrosive salt.

Recentley done mine, about £10 for the tool ( ebay Minimine ) and used furniture polish. Mask the body work round window before you start to help stop any damage if you slip. Dont be tempted to try and use a screwdriver.
