    Dan makes some good points about windex vs. hand cream in removing
    rings, but........ring removal is usually done over the glass counter
    top so you have the benefit of doing a little glass cleaning in the
    process as opposed to getting a gooey glop on the counter.
    Furthermore, skin creams almost always have oils in them and oils
    have an affinity for diamonds so that in the process of getting the
    ring off, the diamonds or other stones get nastied and dull. Windex
    is really quite harmless unless you have a prior skin sensitivity; I
    certainly don't know of anyone who feels compelled to use protective
    gloves when using windex. Most of my customers admit to using hand
    lotion to get their rings off at home, but when I put out how that
    practice leaves a noxious residue on the bottom of their stones they
    opt for the windex.
