Yer its a sl bush, id say the brush is at the wrong angle it needs undoing and lifting about 2 notches on the angle adapter.

it looked like you missed the top frame, was it to avoid air vents

better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

i'm not doing the top frames as done it before and was dissapointed.anyway before changing to wfp i cleaned the top frames on nearly every house i have .the pole is an xtel fibre glass a bit heavy but ok
i'm trying to keep the bristles on the brush downwards rather than upwards so they can't touch the top frame.
i'm not using more than 150 l in a busy day but mostly i'm only doing the upstairs for the moment.

i always do the top frames, if you dont, the bad weather will do it for you, and bring the dirt down,

Those Hybrid poles are shocking and that video just goes to prove it,the old orange extender poles were better than them.I to am not meaning to be rude but you took far to long on that window and you didn`t look like you were using anywhere near enough water,and why the brush off the glass.

as you said, you have only been doing this a few months, maybe you where trying to speed up for the video, one thing i can tell you is, those extel poles are to flexy, and when you try to speed up, the brush head goes ahead of you at 50mph lol batterying the sides, just take it easy, slow down a little, or even ask someone here that lives localy if you could help them out for a day, and learn from a more experience person,

yea those last couple of posts where just kinda unhelpful, the guy did ask for criticism - but constructive criticism. help us all to learn!!

i think the basic technique is right, though you should try and do the top of the frame. Personally i prefer to rinse with the brush off the glass aswell. maybe you could be a bit more systematic in your approach - always working in strraight lines - go around the frames in squares, scrub up and down the glass vertically and the rinse off in zig-zag motion horizontally down the frame.

All you need to do is go round the top opening vents 1 at a time that would take about 15 seconds then once you`ve done all 3 do the glass,do the same on the lower frames and glass in the same order and then finish off with a flash over the sill,the whole window should be done in under a minute.
