I didnt know they had names also, i have just put my own words for most of them .
The "s" i think describes itself, the "n" is start flat from the bottom , straight up , across , then straight back down, i find this a good technique where speed and not quality is important.
If more quality is required for the same technique i do exactly the same as above but close by going across when i get to the bottom,which gives me the "o"
Both are done without lifting of the pane , you just have to be carefull as you turn at the top as this is where you will most likely mess up.
The letter "m" is similar to the above and works great on patio doors
Start at the bottom .up across, back down, across the bottom then repeat to cover the entire door.
The more control you have of your squeegie , the less detailing you have to do.
The cutting the mountain is start bottom left , go up , across and down the right , which leaves you with what looks like a mountain ,then you simply return from the right back over to the left taking another chunk of the mountain with you , and so on and so on untill the mountain as gone.
Some windows suit the straight down technique which can be the fastest metod in a lot of circumstances.
Wet window , then wipe a fingers width across the top of the frame with your scrim. then place your squeegie in the dry bit you have just wiped then keeping your hand at a consistant angle for the entire stroke take the squeegie firmly straight to the bottom of the glass,
