Had a bit of time to spare this evening so cleaned some of my conservatory insides whilst the sun was low. I tried a microfibre glass cloth with five different spray products all of which were not supposed to smear. I couldn't get a decent result with any of them - any tips?

I'll try that tomorrow if the sun comes back out. I did a residential home insides too and all looked fine till the sun caught them when I drove past later. I was pretty gutted because I used microfibre then finished with a proper glass microfibre and sweated my nuts off.

One of the products contained vinegar but made little difference. Looked perfect mind with no sun. Must be a foolproof method, pure water is brilliant on the outsides. I think I could earn good money on insides too because everybody hates them mainly because they can't get them right. :-\

Can't understand why you don't do them Trad'? It's the only way to do inside glass

You might laugh but I came in straight onto wfp so haven't needed to do any trad. Think I'll start pretty soon though. :)

he's right you know, especially when all you can smell is pee and the heating is cranked up to the max, even if its a heat wave outside,

 for houses with cream carpets i use unger micro rung out (pure water only) and then buff dry with a seperate unger micro one in each hand easy, never had a complaint and dont get smears in the sun.

hope it helps

seriously if you cant do trad, get a flipper, it will speed up the learning process and you wont have to mess about learning to s and dog earing etc

That looks like a good piece of kit - looks easy to use.

I would have though using a spray for inside's would take far to long.

I have always done them with a trusty applicator and squeegie can go wrong then.

The Wagtail is a brilliant bit of kit, I have used mine for years. I can't for the life of me understand why UK suppliers don't stock them. I would buy a couple of new ones for a start. Dai

same as using a combo, soap and squeegee with same hand, but because the whole thing pivots you can squeegee faster and its much easier for a newbie to master........only my opinion.

great on a pole to, because you can still s stroke so no need to use a ladder for that work that is just out of reach.
