Hi All,

Cheers,

Gordon

They do an orbital squeegie - a squeegie on a swivel
Then there is the flipper - a squeegie that swivels with a pad for soaping the glass - two passes to clean the window.
They do the whirlwind - like the flipper but has a more absorbant pad and can clean and blade in one pass.
The slimline blue ribbon I think is very similar to the flipper but can be used as a seperate squeegie and with other manufacturers channels.
Have a look for Waggas site on utube.

Whirlwind is probably the best bet in my opinion. Although I've got one I'm not a master of it yet. See if anyone else comes on and offers their verdict.

i use the yellow orbitals    ,  iv a 12,14,18 and 24 .   these are the flippers and  ive looked carefully online but cant see any  improvement with the latest blue ones .

 i think the YELLOWS are EXCELLENT  . i use the 14 for houses and the 18 for big glass . ive only one time used the 24 ,on a very high job

 The pad(?) on the flipper isn`t very good. Very flimsy.
