Sorry lads bet youve had this loads of times buit ive just seen a video on youtube of a wagtail.
They look great and the guy seemed to fly through the window pains he was cleaning. Does anyone use them on here and how good are they.
They would be great for inside work or if im trad on bottoms

The wagtail flipper is good. But not as brill as is shown on the videos. It is faster than a standard applicator and blade, but I tend to find the clips that hold the cloth on fall off. This happens to me when I have the wagtail on the end of a pole over bushes or in other hard to reach places and then I have to go hunting for the bit of plastic that holds the cloth on, thats really irritating.
All in all a good tool, but not perfect.

Buy some small bull clips from a stationers or asda etc. problem solved ;)
Wagtail flipper is superb & has replaced my normal squeegee, but I find it very hard to get satisfactory results with it on a pole. The pad/scrubber that comes with it is crap, better with one of Lidl's floor cleaning pads. ;)

I have been using the old Wagtail combi for many years, best of kit they ever made, sadly for some crazy reason they stopped making them.
Mine are worth their weight in gold, would never part with them.

Wagtail is great for awkward windows. On a pole, as shown in most videos, it looks great. However, Takes alot of practice that I haven't had time to perfect by a long run. ::) Glad I've got one though. If I get big picture windows with a heating radiator infont of them, then Wagtail is good for getting behind obstacles like that. Worth the 20 odd quid anyway.

yep,takes practice ,but well worth it in the end. tomorrow im doing a 3 storey office block with it .this is with a flipper with a lidl balcony floor pad fitted on the top (rather than the bottom). AS modified like on the youtube MyWagga videos with a detailer on the back. BLESS wagga , hes the biz ;D
