I will be shocked if someone admitted they can't use a blade.

we can all make a nice living without using trad , But the guy who cleans the shop could have earned £20 extra by doing the insides .

We have a chain of forecourts to clean.

Ladders not allowed, wfp not practical.

What do we use?, squeegies on poles, now that does take some skill!

i dont understand this whole squeegie on a pole being difficult? My old boss used to avoid it like the plague as well.  I find it a piece of p as long as you scrim the top of the frame afterwards

But the art of it is not needing to scrim the top afterwards

I don't do shops, only houses and if a lady wants insides done I go along with a mate who can trad. I do outsides he does insides. If I needed to I could learn, I can do it now just very slow.
