I've just ordered the new Wagtail - bit pricey  :o hey ho.
I rate the combi but didn't think the flipper was very well designed.

Come on now chaps it's a squeegee with a wafer thin piece of material below it end of story,might be ok for the odd window but IMO it ends there. I don't think custies would be to impressed to see it being used outside,at least with wfp it looks like your giving them a good clean.

Not bothered what the custy thinks. If it saves time and effort on inside windows I'm all for it. I've got hundreds of inside windows to do in a couple of weeks time.

Do you think insides only then Dave , make it last ..

Is the strip / Applicator type bit interchangeable for a replacement pad once it's worn out ????

ok if you do a lot of tradding  on windows that are not too dirty maybe?

i hardly do any trad these days (outside or inside windows).squeegee and normal applicator do me just fine for the bit i do.its just extra equipment that you dont really need IMO.
price higher/work harder!

Window Cleaning Warehouse are taking orders now for the Precision Glide but they don't seem to sell the pole for it.

Am I just not looking in the right place on their website because I'm buggered if I can find it?

I want to try the Precision Glide out on the insides of shop windows I do that have limited space and I need to use a pole.

Without the pole, for me, it's useless.

Thanks.

inside windows, bucket of warm water, little waffle glass cloths, and you can fly through them, also more effective than using any applicator and squeegee as little waffle cloths just eat through fly and bug poo.
happy cleaning Tadgh.

if its a school thats not been cleaned for a while will these "little waffle" cloths you keep banging on about help with sticky fingermarks?

ive used blue microfibres before and the large green unger microwipes and their ok but lose their obsorbency after a couple of years for detailing/buffing.

Much of the glass is out of reach for the kids so I'm hoping it works on that otherwise I'll have an ordinary applicator and blade in another boab.

Hi Dazmond, yes if i was cleaning those sticky fingerprints i would use little waffle cloths, they were engineered for removing these type soils from glass, no additives required as its recommended to use them with just plain water.

Used it today in house as I have kids today .
Seems ok
The applicator cloth Is thin .
But it's very well engineered .
Won't be good on mucky bad windows .

But it's a good tool to have in the Van

Hi Kempy,  I've  ordered one too, just wondering what rubber blades are you using with it.

The one that came with it . It's a red.
Ive only used it for 10 mins and then had kids all day .

Still prefere applicator where you can scrub Thr glass more and then just squeegee off .
Could use this just as a squeegee
