I think it's the first pre bent dog eared squeegee to come onto the market.to be honest I don't know why they haven't been on  the market before.saves a fair bit of detailing.

Thanks for that Dazmond.

I clean a few hairdressing salons and if someone could invent a squeegee blade that doesn't get hair stuck to it, I'd buy the entire stock.

Haha. My partner owns a salon. I hate doing the insides. Tbh I usually just use a spray bottle and microfibres. Might take longer on the front windows but at least I don't have hair everywhere ;D

Don't the Unger clips do the same thing as a dog ear? I've got a little box of them in the Garage.

He released a video showing it in action a few days ago! It looks really good!

Unfortunately the video has now gone as I think he got told off by the manufacter for showing it to early!

I thought it was Ettore that had the clips? Maybe?

Bloody hairdressers!
I only do one. But I leave it so it's my last blade job of the day.
The applicator needs washing before I can use it anywhere else.
One of the chairs is literally 400mm from the window ::)roll

I'd forgotten about those.

Oddly enough, I was thinking of the brass clips above which now I remember were Ettore and held the rubber in place. My mistake.

I have an applicator just for the hair salons other wise you end up with womens hair being a pain in the rear on every other job. It's sticks like velcro to the applicator and squeegee.

With the squeegee, the first pass is fine and then the second will leave a few fine lines and then it gets worse from there on. Maybe I should do what Number 23 does, cloth the glass.

Clothing seems to be ok in summer but in winter, the glass gets really condensationy inside.
Wouldn't work for me.

All you really need on the ends of the squeegee to hold the rubber stiffer at the ends.
As explained in this video below.
Good thing is that you can do it on any squeegee channel.

Isn't it easier to just get a pair of pliers and bend the end of the channel?

You only have to do that once.

Yes it would be easier to do that as well.
But is you have wide body channels like a sorbo would think it not that easy.
