I am just curious to find what squeegee rubber people find best for them. I know a lot of people of have certain preferences so just curious to see if a certain one is more popular. Thanks

 
I like wagtail rubber a lot, but its pricey. Unger and ettore are nice too. I find the channell and the stiffness of the rubber makes more of a noticeable difference then the brand though.

 
Don't bother with this red and green and blue rubbers you see on ebay and other sites I've found there just a gimmic rubber and usually totally unusable

 
For price and good results i use unger soft

I like ettore but is more expensive

Never use unger green though..i have made that mistake

 
I have used Pulex before which i got on with quite well was also cheap. Now i use soft Unger and never had a problem with it. I have seen the green rubber from Unger but never tried it but glad i haven't now.

 
Matt i bought 2 of the longest strips of unger green

I only use it for my top opener squeegee now as it is so small any rubber seems to work as can get more pressure on it

Next time you order, try one Unger hard, you'll see a difference.

 
I've had an unger soft in my 10" channel for years, it refuses to tear or smear.

Got pulex from a store near me but found it quite stiff and juddered over the glass when we did some internal work.

Why do guys not like the unger green (i haven't used it)

 
Unger green just doesn't work full stop unless you push hard enough.to break the glass

Ok in 6 inch squeegee as can put pressure on that

 
i read somewhere that how the make rubber is 2 strips moulded together like this o----o then they cut it down the middle o-- --o

 
i like ettore but my m8 got some an he had a bad batch not good considering the price

here is a quoet from some one eals

foggy

Ettore are good but there is bad batches now and again with narrower sections on them that allows the soap from the back of the rubber to pass over to the glass. The Pullex soft is just as good, cheaper, and no bad batches.
