Title: high internal windows
Post by: paul ette on March 19, 2015, 02:35:59 pm
may have a large school coming up and it has some large high internals, very awkward, i dont fancy messing about on a ladder with them it would be a lot of work.

saw the vikan easy shine and also saw a dragonfly kit that was much more expensive, has any one had an y experience with these? any good? or any other methods ?

fist time ive done any thing like this so any help apreciated, the outside is easy enough with a wfp but cant pole the inside,,  :o

Wagtail on a pole is by far the easiest and cheapest option.

A wagtail is a fantastic bit of kit, and very easy & quick to use.

It depends on how high the windows are and how dirty?
A lot of the kits are not great on really filthy windows  especially the ones that require  changeable pads.
9x out of 10 the best method and quickest is squeegee and applicator.

Don't buy a Dragonfly its an overpriced waste of money.
Personally I don't like any of the pad systems as its almost impossible to get a smear free finish with any of them,

if windows are very dirty then you will have lots of dirty drips and run marks on the sills and frames when you use a squeegee so unless you are up a ladder to wipe these of then I would not recommend this method, if you decide to use the other methods mentioned ie vikan then expect it to take a long time and not perfect results.
  Sometimes  ladders are the best option ;D

Agree with most of the above, you will struggle to get a decent finish with the easyshine, even going over them 2 or 3 times.

Dragonfly very overpriced, but the Cleano looks quite good.

Best results and quick to do is a karcher vac on a pole.  A quick soap over and then vac it - job done, lovely finish  ;D
