I get what you're saying, but have you had first hand experience of using one of the stingrays Sean?

When you looking at buying this? Be down to Swindon with 3/4 weeks tops.

Hi Damien,

I've got the job booked in for the 23rd of May.

Are you visiting Steve Scargill? I might pop round for a cuppa

Haven't used the Stingray but have experience with pad systems and do own a Dragonfly which has the mechanism pump and
water on a belt.
They all do a decent enough job as I'm sure the Stingray will but your basically paying hundreds of pounds for a job you could do
with a spray bottle quicker.
They all work by spraying a small amount of liquid onto the glass which you then buff off, they just have different pad types
and mechanism design.
Spraying the pad before putting it on the glass does the same thing.

Yeah I am bud. I don't think it would be before then. You never know though. Yeah I think we are coming down in two vans. And stopping over

Cheers Sean,

I've just spoken to Unger UK and it looks like the stingray isn't going to be suitable for the height I need to acheive anyway. The poles themselves have tech in them enabling the pump spray to work with every section added. These only go to around 13ft

Smudger, it looks like these guys offer a fairly decent price on the kit you use.

Wagtail on a pole if it was me I can only see the pad setup working after the initial dirts been cleaned off otherwise to do a good job you'd need to change the pad every 5 minutes.

NWH, they have been regularly maintained by another company that's just disappeared.

So i just spray on my normal spray for cleaning internal windows but what would be a good pad that sticks to telescopic pole to get then sean?

Tom you cant use a cleaning solution for these pads as you will have to remove the solution with the dirt, water on its own is
recommended, but don't get the final buffing pad too wet.
Smudger has listed most of the the pads on page one of this thread and what he uses them for, it will give you the info needed
on what pads to buy.
I suggest if you haven't used one these pad systems before get a Vikan Easyshine Kit as it comes with everything you need including pads, if it isn't for you then you wont be out a fortune if it is then all you need is a connector that connects the
pad holder to your pole, Gardiners sell the connector.

Are the Vikan easy shine kits compatible with the unger pads. I phone Gardiners to ask but the girl on the phone didn't know.

They are the same size, but as different manufacturers, wondering if the pads will stick well enough

That is good to know Lance as I thought the stingray was not going to be suitable for heigher work.

[Smudger]

Pretty much all the same size

Are the pads safe to tumble dry?

Just washed them all after today hard slog, doing all the car showroom. Don't want to ruin them as I need them again tomorrow.

Cheers

[Smudger]

Tumble is ok.

Just no softner when washing
