Or vikan  easy shine can attach to your WFP if you don't have a trad pole long enough
But whatever I think it's going to make the job more hassle

It really is good earners Michael ! Half of my income is from these stores so I really need to sort this out .....to be honest I could see this coming down the line for some time,had someone footing ladder etc but I can see where mgt is coming from....
Will check out the dragonfly later  ;)

Nobody else get this problem on commercial work  ???

Hi Matthew ,how good is it? (These stores are done 3 times a year internally,usually just dust but not too bad ) £1k isn't too bad if it works  ;)

They can do a reasonable job but, and this is important IME, only use very tiny amounts of water.  Also, leave it for 30 - 60 seconds before inspecting it as it can take that long to dry out properly.  Get a good supply of pads and change them frequently.  You'll need a fair few on the first clean - perhaps less on subsequent cleans.
I recently did the inside of some shop windows.  Hadn't been done for about 6 months.  Came up fine.  It should be quicker than ladder once you get used to it.
