That's being played in SloMo!

Wow,looked good,liked the second guy,I have a house with lots of little georgian panes and its given me an idea as to how to speed up a bit.
-
That's brilliant.
What a talent.....must get practicing!
-
Look out Terry! ;D
-
He is almost as fast as squeaky ;D
Well, in Squeaky's dreams anyway! 8)
I liked the first bit, really good skills....

Terry Burrows wannabes ;D

Who said window cleaners weren't skilled??! ;D
-
That was awesome!
I'm sure if you can clean shop windows with that much style, you could walk around with a hat after and collect money from the people watching!

TWC,
Good clip; loved it.
-
I want to know who as been filming me............ ;D

:o right time to bring out the real Turbo ;D show that snail how to move ;D ;)

I dont think that was anything special i have been doing most of them techniques for years. I have seen guys before doing plate glass windows in loads of sections and that method is actually slower than doing the whole pain at once.
One thing for sure you cant keep that pace up all day every day, You will burn out in a matter of months, how do i know been there done that , always moving at 100mph.
The wet a pane while squeegieng the next pane is a very good technique to use on long runs of patio doors, I have a nursing home where the doors are about 10 panes wide and i always use that technique on them.

Well i thought i was picking this trade up quite good.

Hi
Would love to see what speed he has at 4pm on a friday 3feet under someones gutter!!!!!

haha i actually had a go at the circular squeegying technique after i watched the terry burrows demo clip last week....i can almost do it (hope no one in the houses saw me trying :-[)
i agree with dave though..i dont think doing a large pane in sections would be as quick as doing it in one go...that bloke took a long time to do that window didnt he! and i also agree you would burn out big time doing that sort of speed all the time..even for one day, i reckon if i could do it like that id be knackered by the end of the day lol
-
I would also agree, but I think it was all being done for the camera, and it did show really good skills from him.
He varied what he was doing showing slightly differing techniques.
Was good to watch.

Great video.
The chap soaping up one window and squeeging the next off was great.
I tend to do that every now and then but not quite that quick.
He didn't detail either and i now his applicator hit the edges.
Wonder if there was any runs after he went or maybe he detailed it but just didn't show that part.

thats what i thought!
i found on a few windows though, that you can get away without doing the edges if they have the putty painted over neatly..if you know what i mean e.g so the paint sort of forms a border around the pane, then your squeegie goes over the painted part and leaves the wet on the paint and not on the glass :)

You can squeegee any window without detailing if you do it properly.

I thought he was slow doing the big window,and on the small window he made far to many passes on th glass,he was all wrist action :o and not much movement,the idea being covering the amount of glass in such speed,he was a bit like a horse running on the spot ;D some people understand how much harder it is to clean the compertition windows in the way it has to be done,thats when you get the idea of speed,who ever is comimg to NEC in march or Blackpool Fed show,I would gladly show you,to use 2 hands is far time saveing on any glass,its easy for me :) I have only been doing wc for 30 years,speed cleaning for a solid 10 years,it takes huge amount if practice and Tunnel vision to have got where I am today :) I think its fare to say I have shown the way for many wc so if you come to the shows ask me I will show you :D hope to see a lot of faces there, and just for the record I am not allowed in the wc competition :'( so you get to win the 1,2,or 3, dosh money ;D
I agree with pete by the way ;D

Hi Terry, another thing I noticed at the start of the clip, he walked back to the left hand side of the glass to start his next pull along with the squeegee. He should have just turned the squeegee and walked back squeegeeing as he went, this would have saved him some time.

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...........

yes pete! thats what set being at the top of any game,the thinking and breaking it down of how it will work at speed,he needs to do more finkin ;D

Hi Terry,
I dont think the compition is NOT 100% fair, by this I mean how can it be if the guys use diffrent squeeggee's and diffrent dollys. I know there basicaly the same but techniqly its not.
You should give everyone that enters a NEW factory cut blade to put in there squeegee and at least use the same handles and channels, may I surrgest unger egro-tec for the NEC. do you cut the rubbers yourself?
Also Terry I quie fancy myself crowned the champ, NEC 2007. I'm going have to get practasing. Whats the time I will have to beat ?
Another thing terry what about the little chinease guy from america, I have seen him in action and thought without doubt that he is faster than you, am I wrong??
Regards

I have to say the two guys in the video are sharp enough but from the video you can't see the quality of their work, I wouldn't call that speed cleaning (I clean large shop windows faster than that)
