I have bought a telescopic pole as i have been looking at the pole system but can't afford one just yet plus until i get going properly don't want to spend out too much. I am finding that when using the squeegee attachment it sometimes misses bits. Is this just the rubber or is it me?? I have a few quite hard to reach windows to do and am tending to miss houses out when looking for work that i know are going to be difficult to reach. I bought this pole to help me out in this situation but just want to know is it me or the rubber

if you cannot afford a system, have you thought of building your own

I have thought about making one up but wasn't really sure what i needed. That link is really useful

Sometimes that might happen if the liquid is drying out too fast on warmer days.  A way around this might be to invest in an attachment called the vice-versa (I have seen it called other things too.).  This is an applicator and a squeegee on the same head and back to back. It can save the time needed to swap attachments and enable the squeegeeing to be done sooner - before it starts drying.

I have just been to Spain and some guy was cleaning first floor windows on a shop with a pole and did a great job, even in that heat no marks no runs very impressive.
