Why would I ?????

You've only done half the job anyway, just get a WFP and do the lot 👍

Yes understand you only do WFP work?
This is for the people that trad with squeegees.
Always handy to know when you have to clean on  inside windows.

But you haven't cleaned the openers - the demo is pointless

I think the technique is to be admired, I can't do it, but I find I can zap the insides quicker than that video with a pole and waffle microfibre cloth

It would be good if made enough to live off the videos.
This is not the reason put up videos.
But to help people that want to get into window cleaning.
Showing squeegee techniques mainly using wagtail type squeegees.
Also how to modify squeegees and generally showing new ideas to make doing WC a bit easier.
The first video we done in May 2011 on YouTube.
Since then all up including some we have deleted there would be something like nearly 250 videos.
And on average have around 150 countries watch these videos every week.
Also have 3 Face Book groups for the same thing.

Its still a good technique to master if you have the tine or inclination. It comes in handy doing high internals, and even externals on some commercial premises/shops etc.. when there is vehicular restrictions.

I wondered that but stopped clicking on them some time ago.
It seemed to me that he takes a product and tinkers with it, because he can. There never seems to be anything new and yeah, that's about it

Well the slow talking may have something to do with a industrial accident had in my younger years.
Which left me unable to speak for about 1 year.
But regained it know it is a bit drawn out and slow ,sorry you think I sound silly.

Reasonable method of cleaning, although Id say your corner-work will leave an unacceptable state of affairs. Interesting you didn't do the narrow side panels and we haven't seen you do anything above 6'. Ive always thought that all you do is bodge up something that is already on the market as if its something new. Ive never seen you bring anything to the market that is unique or rather unique and worth pursuing.

That's about et.

H man, if you read my statement correctlyI dont think you will find that I said you were silly or sounded silly. You will find I mentioned that my point was silly, as in it had nothing to do with the topic of window cleaning......
In addition, more to do with how unscripted it all sounds etc.
On the plus side, glad you got your voice back and has served you well
