Have you found the unger has kinks on one side that leave a huge line across the glass?
Iv bought different batches off a local supplier and wcw and they are all the same.
Iv also tried razor rubbers recently but on certain types of glass they drag and leaves lines.

Pulex used to be ok I get on well with razor rubbers , Unger green a waste of time . Bit of advice never leave squeegee in boab over weekends or will leave a mark on rubber that leaves a mark on glass

Sorry about this being an absolutely worthless post!!
I was cleaning with squeegees from 1968 for the next twenty five years. Blades were all fine.
I recently tried some, they were very poor they kept "jumping" "sticking" they had lost their "smoothness".
I know we all think things years ago were better, perhaps yes, perhaps not.
It turns out that the blades I used were "real rubber" now they are synthetic.
I think that trad  cleaners are having a hard time!!
