I'm wfp but used to do trad and still do a bit (I miss it).
I now use a moreman liquidator with a fliq pad. Less detailing.
A spray bottle with fairy, rather than a bucket, (plus a tiny strip of fairy across the pad)
Tell the custy that I don't clean the frame (only the glass and the sill).
I want all the sills removed of...crap really!
Hopefully that's helpful.

There used to be a product called CG4 not sure if you can still get it.

Before i was using wfp i used to mix fairy liquid and vinegar together to make my slip medium. The vinegar reduces the surface tension of the soap making it much easier to squeegee off

A bit of neat limescale remover (W5, Viakal) on your applicator sleeve is very effective.
Few suds, plenty of slip and cuts through the grime.
It's strong stuff though.

Ps. in addition to your normal detergent that is. I either use HG or W5 Platinum in the bucket or solution bottle.

I have tried all sorts, but imho nothing beats Fairy (the blue one with antibacterial agent in it).

Yeehah!

For one window or rarely done trad. work then any washing up liquid is fine.

I do some regular inside work on commercial stuff and I use "squeegee off" as it slips well but needs less detailing than washing up liquid.
It's a game of three halves!

So unsafe where is the noose he should have around his neck. If he falls it will be so messy without one.
