get paid upfront,...

long pole with mop and squeegee but could turn out to be crap job if your not experianced only alternative is to hire a simple lift platform but you will need a license for that im guessing ... this increases price of job of course.
Something called a dragonfly kit as alternative but dont know much about it ???
-
oh and make sure you have confirmation in writing or email as they can be buggers to get money from especially if a large group. ..... I know as used to be in motor trade ;D

It depends on the glass your cleaning. is it flat panels or does it have ledges? I would price for a lift and wouldn't muck about with interior poles at that height, depends how much you want it though i guess.

Will wfp the outside but inside full of motors, it's the inside I'm worried about,was thinking of investing in the dragonfly kit with the utility belt pump anyone use these much and would it suffice

It looks a pain in the ass but I want to gain the experience Steve, and I'm mainly domestic at the mo so next thing is to grow commercial side slightly so I have a good mix

you can also use the vikan easy shine kit for the high stuff. a lot cheaper and for those window its not such a big deal anyway

The Dragonfly has three drawbacks here.
Firstly, I don't think you'll be able to reach that height with it from the ground. Secondly, I find that, if you have very dustyglazing bars or frames, it drags the muck onto the glass and causes an even bigger mess. And finally, the system is only, in my opinion, effective as a maintenance cleaner and really strugles with a very dirty window.
Personally, I'd do it by trad off a scisor lift.
Goos luck
