Would it be to clean trad with a twenty foot pole? Would it be possible to get a passable clean?

I would say yes with minimal water so there`s hardly any need for detailing,with practice i think someone could be quiet efficient cleaning this way but why bother when you`ve got the WFP.

Coming straight down at an angle to let the water pass on the side you are moving too.

Unger vice-versa with the applicator side squeezed out,use the green unger microfiber covers for this 1 dip in the bucket and you can do loads of window`s,especially insides.

yes, I think I mentioned this before Dave, use an angle adapter on your wfp, they will take a squeegee and aplicator then dry off using a vileda swivel microfibre ( it has a vikan style thread and makes it really easy because of the swivel ) this will gurantee you perfect results Dave! My dad thought of the microfibre swivel 6 months ago when we were trad, it worked a treat! Luke

We just dry the wet patches, like sides and drips. We tend to use it more like kitchen roll, to absorb the water and sometimes to spread it across the surface to increase its surface area so it dries quickly without spots. I'm telling you it is the only way of doing trad with a pole! you will wonder how you worked without one.

it looks a little like this one

I've got trad poles and worked like this. I found that you can't detail at twenty foot. You make a worse mess.
go across once at the top to remove excess water if need be, then straight down.

You didn't help me with my crossword Luke. And on the other post concept o2 is  connected to this site's sponsor so I'm sure you'll agree that it's pretty good.

VG I had concept20 at my house today to clean my windows and test the system to see what I thought, I have to say the machine is very nice looking, and the finish on the first clean was Fantastic, this was done by the owner of concept20, i can ask if i could camcorder her to show you all but I thought best not to, Julie if your reading this cheers for the window clean"same time next month please"  ;D

jokes aside their system works and looks the part

A lot depends on what type of window your trying to do, If its a commercial window with a deep frame and one large pane its fairly easy,
If its a residential window with thin beveled edge its more difficult although still doable
If its georgian or similar then its ladder time
