I have only used mine on a few jobs this week, and I did notice I was slower with it than with a Wagtail because of being more conscious of having to get really close into the edge so that no detailing required.
Maybe I will get quicker with it but not sure if it will grow on me.
The Moerman rubber is useless and so is the facelift red rubber.

Not just me then. I have some brand new Facelift rubber - can't use it because it won't lay flat on the table let alone in a channel - tried warming it up but it makes no difference. I have some Pulex which seems reasonable.

[Jonny 87]

Same for me.

I've persevered with it but found I'm slower than normal.

Back to my wagtail I think.

[Jakey boy]

Same for me.

Back to my wagtail I think.

That's the main issue, people spend more time worrying about the edges so end up slower, I just use it like a normal squeegee at normal speed and then detail if needs be..

[Dave Willis]

I found mine only works at slow speed but it does cut down on detailing.
I found this on tinternet - same problem I get with the longer channel might try the fix.

I cut my rubbers on my wagtail at a slight angle, not as severe as the Liquidator but the same direction of angle & this also has the effect of reducing/eliminating side detailing.

Tried this just a minute ago and makes a huge difference so might give it ago tomorrow and see how it goes. As for moerman correcting this problem wonder if they are going to send us who brought them with the problem some new ones haha doubt it very much

The thing is, if you are going to be using a big soaking applicator to begin with then you are still going to have to detail to get rid of all that excess soap. This is one of the beauties of a Wagtail flipper- because the pad precedes the blade & thus constantly lubricates it this negates the requirement for so much soap/liquid. There is very little mop up required with a flipper. Unless Moerman make a pivotal handle then this thing is dead in the water for many cleaners IMO.

Yeah I agree with you there about the excess soap getting on to the frame.
I can't see that the Liquidator is going to be quicker to use than the Wagtail Flipper either.
The Wagtail gave me a time saving of 25-30%  on bigger jobs when I started using it, plus it's easier on the wrist and feels really light, fast and easy to use.
Im glad I tried the Liquidator, but for me the Wagtail is still top dog.

[Dave Willis]

I think I've worked out the problem - it's over dog eared which means with a soft floppy rubber like the one supplied your technique has to be perfect - the blade has to be travelling  forwards at all times. Often on a turn the blade might actually travel backwards for a few mm, not a problem with a normal blade but a disaster with this one. It simply folds back on itself. The guy from poles n blades doesn't get this problem because he uses masses of suds, loads of slip and better technique.

That's it I've had enough they will be heading for the bin most likely.

We got our liquidators on Tuesday, 14" with unger ergotech handle and 10" with the moerman handle.

It took us 2 houses to get the hang of it... Now we are flying through work...just don't put your applicator on the frames then u have no soap to wipe off them...just the sills... And IMO there is nowt wrong with the moerman rubber either...

Those of you no happy with them I will give you 50p a channel

I use a brass squeegee  14" - for every type of window

I learn't to squeegee properly so NEVER have had to detail.
I teach my employees how to squeegee properly and just as important how to applicate a window properly.
If I catch one of my guys detailing they will be sacked for not doing their job properly.

£195 each - for a 1 day course in city & guilds squeegeeing skills.

It will be the best £195 you have ever spent!

Detailing is maybe something that windies use when they have not been taught properly?

[Dave Willis]

you should do a video

so your blade takes all soap from the edges off windows no detailing at all.? would like to see how this is done. no need for me to buy the liquidator.
