thats what i thought!

i found on a few windows though, that you can get away without doing the edges if they have the putty painted over neatly..if you know what i mean  e.g so the paint sort of forms a border around the pane, then your squeegie goes over the painted part and leaves the wet on the paint and not on the glass :)

You can squeegee any window without detailing if you do it properly.

I thought he was slow doing the big window,and on the small window he made far to many passes on th glass,he was all wrist action :o and not much movement,the idea being covering the amount of glass in such speed,he was a bit like a horse running on the spot ;D some people understand how much harder it is to clean the compertition windows in the way it has to be done,thats when you get the idea of speed,who ever is comimg to NEC in march or Blackpool Fed show,I would gladly show you,to use 2 hands is far time saveing on any glass,its easy for me :) I have only been doing wc for 30 years,speed cleaning for a solid 10 years,it takes huge amount if practice and Tunnel vision to have got where I am today :) I think its fare to say I have shown the way for many wc so if you come to the shows ask me I will show you :D hope to see a lot of faces there, and just for the record I am not allowed in the wc competition :'( so you get to win the 1,2,or 3, dosh money ;D

I agree with pete by the way ;D

Hi Terry, another thing I noticed at the start of the clip, he walked back to the left hand side of the glass to start his next pull along with the squeegee.  He should have just turned the squeegee and walked back squeegeeing as he went, this would have saved him some time.

Hi Terry,

I dont think the compition is NOT 100% fair, by this I mean how can it be if the guys use diffrent squeeggee's and diffrent dollys. I know there basicaly the same but techniqly its not.

You should give everyone that enters a NEW factory cut blade to put in there squeegee and at least use the same handles and channels, may I surrgest unger egro-tec for the NEC. do you cut the rubbers yourself?

Also Terry I quie fancy myself crowned the champ, NEC 2007. I'm going have to get practasing. Whats the time I will have to beat ?

Another thing terry what about the little chinease guy from america, I have seen him in action and thought without doubt that he is faster than you, am I wrong??

Regards

I have to say the two guys in the video are sharp enough but from the video you can't see the quality of their work, I wouldn't call that speed cleaning (I clean large shop windows faster than that)
