Glad i saw this post! A good friend of mine doesnt want to switch to wfp, dispite me telling him of all advantages, so i was gonna recommend the liquidator to him. Dont think i will bother now. He uses unger ergotec with pulex hard rubber, same as me when trad (trained him up 8yrs bk or more). Pulex hard rubber cheap enough to replace monthly which keeps detailing down to a bare miminimum any way.

the liquidator is awesome,with a few mods on a wagtail handle you cannot go wrong.also try decent rubber.

Tried all rubbers m8 have you looked back over them when the sun is at the right level for you to see your work,at first they looked spotless until the sun went down then it was oh dear.

no matter what rubber,or even using wfp-in low sun everything looks much worse.sometimes I wonder why people have a window cleaner-especially when looking at the state of some the insides

I like the ones generally old folk  with net curtains as then it don't matter how bad the outside glass looks afterwards as they can't see bugger all anyway.  ;D

Ive said before WFP included you'll rarely get them perfect but the liquidator made them looked like they'd been cleaned by someone that started cleaning windows that morning,never seen such bad results.

Whatever I use they never complain as I either do a very good job or maybe they just feel sorry for me.  ;D
One day just for the craic I turned up with a karcher window vac.  Customer never batted an eyelid and the internal glass conny roof did not look bad either.  :D

I've adjusted it with over bending under bending you name it,like I've said when you use it they look perfect like mine did. I have never had a squeegee leave such bad results.

I think you need to learn to trad mate :D

Since you posted this up the other day I have done 4 inside jobs with the liquidator and razr rubber with no problems...I have been checking the windows carefully in the sun too :)

I did the insides of a house and connie the other day in the bright sun. Having wfp the outside.
I thought i'd try some new little waffle cloths (I got from Tadgh) and some pure in a spray bottle.
Really good results and fast too. Even on fairly large windows still quick. The only windows I used the blade was the internal patio doors, both sides and the inside of the french doors.
I normally hate doing insides but I must admit that these little waffle cloths do make it quick and easy. I have a renewed enthusiasm.
I was thinking of getting a Liquidator but won't bother now.

Being a precision tool for zero detailing some just can't get on with them at all and others have no problem. Polznblade did go to great length to explain this in the vids he posted on youtube.

At the end of the day it's a personal choice what works best for you.

What he says in his videos is rubbish the reason why you start on a different section of the window is because they stick in the corner they work better if you start in the middle and work from corner to corner,regardless of what squeegee you use you always have to go back over each turn or it will leave a line more often than not unless the blade is almost new. Ok they work well on the edges of Windows but I find you pay the price on direction change with it,you can get almost the same results with a blade cut just to the end of a normal squeegee without this problem I find.
