Title: Technique
Post by: Dick on June 25, 2007, 10:02:18 am
Whilst idley whiling away another wet n windy day just a quick question for those who use either a back - flip or vice - versa.
Do you use it having to flip from applicator to squeegee or as a one pass stroke? I'm just wondering as I've suddenly realised that it can be used to clean with a one stroke operation but am uncertain if this gives a good clean. It certainly saves a lot of additional time but that's only good if the end result is ok.
Anyone got a view on this?

I've never tried a backflip that way.  Didn't realise you could set the two tools up to face the same way.  Will look at that next time I'm in my van.
For what you are describing, I think a wagtail is a decent tool.  I've used that in the way you describe.  I think it's better because it can swivel.  A lot of this stuff became surplus though when I switched to WFP.

I've heard of a wagtail, but where do I get it from?

I got mine from Omnipole.  I don't know if they supply them regularly though as they tend to specialise more in WFP equipment.
I imagine some of the suppliers on here could get one for you though it might not be a stock item.
