Has anyone got any of the following internal window cleaning systems: Stingray , Gardner, Lewi or the dragonfly4.I am asking as I was looking for an honest opinion as to whether they are any good before I invest in one.

I have the unger pads on a pole, I have been doing glass balustrades with it......
It's props donkey work and u may have to go over them a few times.
I wet up the first pad ( with pure ) and apply to the glass, then change to a second pad, this will remove some of the water but will need to be polished with a further dry pad. It can be very slow but gets there in the end.

You can't beat a mop and squeegee ;)

You’ll do a lot worse than gearing up with this

How do you use the glass cleaner? Is there a lot of polishing it out?
Cheers,

I don't do any commercial or high stuff so not sure what's best in those applications.
But when I have done the very rare domestic internal glass cleaner is the easiest or on glass conny roofs the karcher is my weapon of choice.

No, its the best thing since sliced bread. Of course if the windows are minging they require more than one application/pass. I use it regularly on internal cleans now, with these https://www.paragonmicrofibre.com/cloths/fishscale-glass-cloth (https://www.paragonmicrofibre.com/cloths/fishscale-glass-cloth)
Try that, you’ll thank me. Smudger let me in on these as a trade secret and they’ve come up trumps every time.

Slacky how are those clothes in the wash?
I bought a load of red fishscale clothes from wcw and the red dye stained all my scrims and other microfibers. Even after multiple washes the dye is still coming out.

Fine, Ive found them great to be honest.

Whats the best size of the glass clothes to buy?
Cheers,

Hello Paul.
If your looking for something economical and effective then I recommend using Dan mop and waffle clothes.

Speak/email tadgh (pronounced tige)
Good bloke/very helpful.
I've used unger pole and pads mentioned not great, pads stick to glass and just don't glide.
Used those fish scale clothes yes not bad but not as good as waffle clothes'.
There are others on here that have used Dan mop from jsk.

i use the dan mop and waffle cloths, great results, but just seen waffle cloths on ebay for car detailing so sent off for some to see if they're the same as tadghs

I use tadghs waffle cloths - they're very good!
