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
I wouldn't know, I only work at night.
The point is, there are better ways of removing solution from the edges of the window than bending the ends of your squeegee.
They might take a little longer but a microfibre can last me all night.
It's common sense, really; more pressure removes more errr......stuff.

You use pliers or similar to bend in the end of the channel, so when the squeegee rubber hits the window seal/edge, the squeegee rubber stays in contact with the glass right up to the seal/edge.

You still use a scrim, just no where near as much, and sometimes (dependant on window) not at all

I tried it once but didn't get on with it, didn't unger do little plastic bits to go in the ends of a channel to give similar effect, still got the channel somewhere.
