Are you using soft rubber?

It can cause sticking in the warmer weather unless you are using very slippery soap

 
Yes soft rubber I will have to try some morman hard that I've got at the end of the summer see what that's like

Funny you say that,this happened to me today,thought I was making mistakes,I'm using unger soft .

 
A touch more water on the glass now it's warming up, and if your angle isn't right this can also cause it to stick.

 
working too slow or possibly concentrating too much may be the problem
An old boss did say to me one day " your a thinker", have to irradicate that brain n just swish about, let the force be with me. I have been using black diamond, asda ecover n pure water., as someone said one time, they think the problem is the pure water, to clean.

Funny thing today was a few Windows were spotting, due to funny paint n I had went over with squeegee, squeaking away, that's with adding soap directly to applicator n having glass gleam 3 in bucket, can't do much more than that to get slip.

 
I have a bit of a random mix on the go at the moment

Had so many bottles of this that and the other laying about

Had a 5l container that had ubik in

Left about 1cm in the bottom

Added almost a whole big bottle of fairy

1 of tesco lemon

About the last 2 inches of flash concentrate gel

Mixed well and poured what i could into a jumbo flash gel bottle

Pure in bucket

Add squirt of my mix

The best slip I've had in ages

And dried bird muck and bee pollen etc just falls off

Will take me a while to use all that up
