Iv been thinking of getting one of them - does it cut down on the detailing?

I been using a wagtail with "dogears "for years thinking that was the best it could get....wrong!

yeah first few windows with it! I love new toys, it keeps your job interesting.

I've a few jobs now inside and out, I'm gonna fill a bottle of liquid for tomorrow and squirt the windows instead carrying the bucket around with me.

I do love trding, spent years doing it before wfp.

I been watching youtube vids of the guys with poles and I used to do a bit myself. wouldn't it be easy with just tradpoling all day!

the only thing I cant get past is the fact you cant clean the frames, just cant think of a way to do it effectively .

I've dogeared my squeegies too, but maybe I haven't done them quite right because I still have to detail some windows, albeit less than before.

Awesome, I trad the inside of a big house once a month but have so much detailing to do, takes ages!  - where did you get it?

No need with the liquidator, just use the pole!

next doors conny looks lovely!

I use a liquidator with a fliq and a spray bottle of fairy. It now makes doing insides far easier and the odd bungalows I do. Dont ever bother with my old mop or bucket.
A little tip...if you have a loop on your cleaning belt, the liquidator with fliq fits perfect, handle first.

I keep a little trading on and always wipe the frames.

I mean using trad on pole to do ups, no way I can think of to effectively clean frames

I found myself slowed down with this new squeegee today. Goes round the edges and is 98% perfect but I was slower in the middle.

that's to be expected with new equipment though!

The rubber it came with(soft) isn't up to much, I have some pulex on the way. I found myself holding the fliq pad with my thumb so it didn't come in contact with the glass whilst blading, less than ideal.

I also found it heavy compared to the wagtail, my thumb was burning after a while with it.

There was a very small amount of liquid left when closing out but not enough to feel the need to wipe up so basically no detailing which even though it slowed me down in one way, it sped things up overall.

Best purchase so far this year, looking forward to becoming accustomed with it.

I have a trad pole that I use on windows above extensions etc. I just wrap the cloth over the end and wipe around the frame as best as I can. Never had any complaints.

I dogeared mine too, also just bent some corners over a touch and took a small 45 degree nick out the rubber. That seems to do the trick for me with out prematurley wearing out your rubber... but i'll stick my neck out and say for most i just use a standard blade and if i pay attention and don't try to rush like i'm in a cleaning competition then i actually don't detail at all.
