Hi All,

Just been looking on the wcw website at the wagtails but there is three different types, the whirlwind, orbital and slimline, does anyone know what the diffrence is between them?

Cheers,

Gordon

I know what you mean Paul don't want to shell out on the wrong one and then find there's a better one :-\

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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
