Have very high cathedral windows that need cleaning on the outside. Does that “windex outdoor” stuff you spray on via a hose and dispenser work? Anyone know of any custom mixes of solution to use? I’d rather not get on a ladder to manually do it.

I have used the product a little. And it seems to "sorta work". Not great, but helpful for touchups. But it only cost a couple of bucks so give it a try.
But to clean them try going to a janitoral supply company and get squeegies with extension poles.
Or replealing gear and work off the roof <G>.
A bucket of HOT water and automatic dishwasher detergent does the trick real well. Wet the window with your garden hose then get the detergent on it anyway you can, brush, sprayer or whatever. Let it soak about 5 or 10 minutes and then rinse with the hose. If you do it late in the evening when its cool and no sun will hit it the window will be clean and will dry without spots.
