How does the thing deal with birdsmuck?

What are the results like without mopping up afterwards?

Looks like an interesting piece of kit but I'm not sure it will 100% replace wfp, but frpm what i see it looks like it has a place in the tool box.

I'll be interested to see comments about this.   A few years ago there was a lot of excitment about a thing called 'Mr Longarm'.  This was a very similar tool, the pole had a curve in it and the squeegee/washer head was on a swivel.

I bought one but no matter how I practised, I couldn't get the hang of it.

Hello Simon,

What WFP gear did you have and how long had you been using it? You have said on a previous post that "my wfp set up went months ago" Why did you get rid of your set-up months ago? What have you been using in the meantime? It sounds like you were not going to be using WFP regardless of whether the Wagtail worked or not. Why was this?

In my experience, it would be almost impossible to replace a complete WFP system and its capabilities with just a wagtail (however useful it is).

The person does seem to have missed a bit  ::) in the video. The tool maybe good but the first bit of the video they don't do a very good job. You can still see all the bits missed around the sides.  ::)

That first window is hardly a good window to use as an example of the kits capabilities; due to its shape.

I did think he did a good job on the some of the later windows, that first and second one WOULD look dreadful in full sun.
