How did you apply soap

Applicator on a pole

If that's legit an it all works as you says, ...... Then that's a brilliant idea. I use my applicator to catch all my water when doing jobs like this but you always a bit of water gather on tiny little sill at the bottom an maybe runs down the paint work. Pet hate when this happens.

Always wanted to know this. Can you change the battery out on the vac or not?

Sure it has its place.

Not so sure about in the first pictures though. Internally above 18' maybe.

please show me more on how you did this darran 👍

I find the window vac not great at cleaning glass inside connie roofs as the suction drys the blade and creates streaks.

I use a wagtail flipper on a pole for that kind of internal work. ;)

I just soap up the windows as normal (for me) and vac off, not had any problems with streaks personally.

Battery is fixed in, which is a shame as a removable batt like on a cordless drill would really be beneficial. In total 2 vacs cleaned 22 8x8ft panels 11 of them 8 to 16 ft up and 11 were 16 to 24 ft up, plus the conference glass in the pics

Matt - agreed, pic1 on the lift was more a fun promo shot for Cozy 😄

I found the same very light streaks that could only be seen in direct sunlight, I couldn't trust it for this reason but
it would be great for the job in the pictures.

I've been in this game a wee while now, and as far as using housewives gadgets goes, I'm all for un-skilled windies using plastic strap on devises. ;)
I manage all internal work using the tools that are best for the job. If you find inside work too complicated, and can only use a vacuum cleaner on a stick, then fill ya boots.
The only alternative would be to call a window cleaner to do the job for you.

HTH  ;)

Smudger, you've started a real movement with a set of followers here. reminds me of Life Of Brian.  ;D
