Never found it necessary.  I use Unger Ergotech channels and handles with Pulex medium rubbers cut 3 mm either side, used with GG3.  Never had to do much detailing with the above set up.

I misunderstood I thought you were saying you never needed to use a squeegee

Dog earing is good but if you apply a lot of pressure to squeegee ( I am heavy handed) then it tends to shred them at the ends quite quick (he rubber that is)
