Yeah..makes it stress free on my wrist when using in my hand and helps with closing out on poleI use Bobs method rather than straight pulls like wagga so don't need to detail

Yeah, but it's a squeegee. We can all use a squeegee can't we? But why are people struggling with something so simple. I don't know if I've cracked it but, I've put the red Razrblade back in both mine and it seems to be working on my windows (not tried it on any other windows since). Do you find the Razrblade needs to bed in @daveyboy1?
One other thing to think about. These problems people are having with the liquidator. Could it be something to do with the soap some are using? If people could post if they are getting good results, could they let us know what soap they use. Also, could people post if they are having problems and what soap they are using. It's a long shot, but could help eliminate these problems. I have always found using 'pure' water when tradding more difficult as there seems to be less slip. I use Ecover as my soap btw.
Could you post what soap you use so it can be ruled out please Smurf. I may be onto something or maybe not. But if people could post their findings it may help.It works for me whatever soap I use so sorry that's not going to help you much. As long as it has good slip on the glass the liquidator will work ok no matter what rubber you use too. Handle wise myself I prefer 20 degree handles.
Used my 14" at home yesterday, just to see if it would behave itself! Did inside living room and not one line, glided on the glass beautifully, only had a small closing out issue at the bottom but that was down to me. Went to do the outside of same window, well, it was as though I was using a different squeegee, lines on pretty much every pass and (does anyone else have this?) it felt like it was fighting against me and I lose control especially near the bottom as I'm closing out.
Ant, I straightened up the clips at weekend and i do find it smoother on the glass now, although rubber does still buckle now n then and that's not doing a sharp turn. I don't have to put much pressure on squeegee for it to take all the soap and doesn't leave water trails from the middle but after doing our internals sunday night you can still see lines from the top of the squeegee. I can't see them when sun is directly on window like midday heat but more when it's rising or setting. I've tried palmolive, morning fresh (equivalent to fairy here) and a specialised soap called WCD 70 which has lubricants in it. I've tried closer to the window, going quicker, going a few inches into the dry area, 1/2 inch into the dry area, not pressing as hard......be careful though Ant, it can start to make you feel ill looking for lines and when you think you've cracked it, you see one.Used my 14" at home yesterday, just to see if it would behave itself!
