Just a quick one, are most squeegees the same, or is there a best make, do you pay for what you get?

It sounds like your just setting yourself up. I have wagtails also, but I dont know if it would be a good squeegee to start off with? what do you think boys?

If your not going for the wagtail as maybe too soon just go for an unger ergotec, my proffered choice per wagtail.

I wouldn't go for the Wagtail, solely, on houses unless you like detailing.

My wagtail fell to bits after 4 or 5 months. Went back to my trusty unger.
