Just dog eared my squeegee, and my word does it make a massive difference, hardly any need to detail at all!

I don't understand why the big names out there like unger/ettore etc don't pre dog ear there squeegees!? Just makes sense, makes cleaning a window so much easier!

Lol dog earing is so the 90's.
Agreed though it does make life much easier.

[andyjm1]

I think it's a bit cruel on the dogs 

[Jakey boy]

I Was just a kid in the 90's, for me it's a revelation!

Should of done it years ago, so much less scrimming, especially good in the winter when the scrims don't dry out at all...

yeah, lol 

Jakey, been around long enough, and I think Wagga has vids about it on You tube mate. Welcome to an easier world. I hardly ever need to detail except for bottom of glass maybe. Enjoy being semi skilled 

[Jakey boy]

Lol yeah, it's great not having to detail so much...

[slap bash]

Its not so 90`s as newby start now and its as relevant now as then.

[Clever Forum Name]

I thought unger realised/releasing dog eared channels.

It's a great til for new comers. I still have my first one from 1999 does that make me part of the groovy gang.

I'm in essex, not a Northerner!

As far as I'm aware there is no pre-dog eared squeegees out there, you have to do it yourself, nice and simple, and works a treat.

[SB Cleaning]

It works a treat tried it today 

[wfp master]

works well but the rubber at the ends gets chewed up quickly.

That hasn't happened to mine... Try less bend on the dog ear, maybe your pressing too hard?

What's a squeegee?

What's a squeegee?

It's what window cleaners use, and even on the insides!! They use it still today, and help when WFPer's ask how to do the job. You might want to let that other pole waver know about it as you copied his question.

HTH 

Oh, happy New Year and all that.

All dog earing does is applies more pressure at the end of the squeegee.
No more pressure than a detailing squeegee (6"?) or pre-detailing cloth, though.
I appreciate dog earing maybe quicker, if less effective, than these options, though.
Each to their own.

We know how it works mate, the point is, after blading the glass I hardly need to do any detailing at all, it's miles quicker and means a scrim lasts a lot longer, the differemce is like nigjt and day
