Thing is there's that many mugs who buy all this overpriced, unnecessary crap.

Trolleys for a grand, brushes for 300 quid the list goes on.

Too many treat this as a hobby

I’ve said this same thing many times, there are a lot of window cleaners who have no hobbies, so they get really into window cleaning, they buy all the new rubbish, they make videos on YouTube (usually extremely amateurish) .

They get excited far too easily and buy anything new and shiny, they then put a review in YouTube, this makes them feel secure and gives them self worth. They then repeat this again and again.

Meanwhile, there are loads and loads of window cleaners making very good money, enjoying life with just a Gardiner pole, Gardiner brush and a pure water system. Simple!
Couldn't agree more with the above. I used to tinker and try to improve things or make them look better when I started. Now I just have the most basic of set ups that works faultlessly. But apparently its "uninspiring "  :)

if i had a system as untidy as yours(cold water too!) i think id hate going to work these days..... ;D ;D ;D
You seem to be becoming increasingly up yourself Daz.  There is nothing untidy about my set up or anything about it that gets me down. Personally, I'd hate to live in a council flat.......each to their own.  :-*

The reason I posted that pic on the other thread Daz was at the request of the op. My system is nothing to write home about. As a diy one I'd sooner have neat wires on show with fuses and connections accessible so if something did fail I can diagnose and fix there and then with minimum down time. And that was my whole reason for showing my set up, not for other windies with 5k systems to mock it

You could,  and it would cost around a tenner. A swivel, if you gave it chance and mastered it, this would probably make more of a real difference than everything else!!👍

A swivel on my brush has transformed my work. So long as its the slightly longer one out of the two than Gardiners sell.

Used condoms, porn mags and the remains of a spliff or two goes a long way if you're trying to impress potential customers.

An impression of size 4 or 5 footprints on the inside of the windscreen over the passenger seat has been known to seal an over-priced fascia clean for me in the past.

It's the best pole hose I've used so far and I've gone through quite a lot in three years trying different ones.
There's a more stiff rhino hose for ones who use the univalve.
However, doesn't exceed sell a blue one, which I think is made out of silicone as well.

more of a difference than xtreme poles,electric reels and a decent hot water system?.....THATS A BOLD STATEMENT! ;D

i tried a gardiners swivel a few years ago.....must admit i hated it...i prefer a fixed brush.....

Yep, complimenting all those other things it enhances the user experience hugely! The newer "angled" swivels are best. It's no good putting one on for half a day 'cos it feels awkward, you have to stick with it a wee bit longer, not much but soon you and the swivel become one. It's like an extension of your wrist and you find you are moving your arms and whole body so much less than before as a small twist of the pole gives you brush angles that you previously could only achieve replicating a contortionist!! ;)

The two things I have bought this year that cost the least and gave best results are definitely swivel goose neck and slick connects you don't need to spend a fortune to get tangible benefits  ;D

Soooo very deep Spruce , I have been guilty of doing some P poor vids in my time , maybe I will treat you all to a snippet of my trigger invention from some years ago 😆
I will watch most things just to see through being nosey really , ok some are not worth the YouTube space but I have looked further into the background at peoples setups and on occasion have thought “That’s clever , why have I not done that “ it don’t have to be groundbreaking , just something simple can make all the difference.
Long live the shoddy vid I say.  👍

If I had a window cleaner setting up his camera to video himself whilst he was cleaning my house windows I would seriously question how balanced his mind was.

Really, especially if he was commentating whilst scrubbing the glass.


Some people are just seriously weird and detached from reality.

That’s where you have to see through it slacky, they do it for self worth, (not all) but I think a lot of them do it for the compliments/likes they get.
