I've got to agree with Terry, he's not fast - I would destroy him in a head to head - and no I'm not being a bighead either, when you learn to double hand correctly, and practice, anyone can be quick - I will say the bit where the guy does the pane with the 2 inch squeegee is quite cool!

Seriously though, he's not fast.

It is nifty, and we've had this clip posted before, and thanks to it I use the technique of washing one pane and squeegeeing the one next to it.
Not on many accounts to be sure, but I've a couple where it works well on.

And that squeegeeing off a pane of glass with a tiny squeegee looks good, but a pound get you ten that there will be lines and mistakes on that pane!

He would be quicker with WFP  ;)

The video of the first guy is actually sped up, you can tell because when a car enters into the picture they slow the video down again so that the car passes at normal speed.

I was well impressed with the speed...but why anybody needs to be soooo fast is beyond me! I agree with Ian Giles, at that speed there'll be mistakes and the detailing is all.

Also if I did Mrs Jones place in 10 minutes flat (normal time 35/40 mins) she'd be reluctant to pay me the usual £20....and I wouldn't blame her.

interesting video, but i agree its a bit OTT, you guys who do two handed window cleaning do you use the same technique ie following the mop with the squeegee?

when working 2 handed I follow the applicator with the squeegee as in the vid but the big difference is if you look closely he goes over the same parts of the glass 2 or 3 times, I'm sure terry will be able to tell you that isn't going to make you any quicker, I'm ambidextrous so I suppose I have an unfair advantage.

the guy walking past seems to be walking at a normal pace, and the cars dont seem speeded up,maybe its just me old eyes

those vids are not speeded up, it is possible and i can say for a fact, i watched these vids before and terry's too and aint far off being able to do the techniques shown. i can tell you could do it all with practice without leaving any marks/smears...it wouldnt take too long to learn! try it yourself i promise!!
