I highly doubt it will give you same quality as trad. I think that thing would take forever to clean a pane of glass little lone a whole home or building interior ?

Trouble is most customers want the conservatory roof doing, be it inside or out, when the sun is shining. In 10 years I have never been asked to do a roof between end of September and end of March.
I thought you where an OG @Davy Gyou shouldn't be afraid of trad tools and clothes ?
Wfp and trad can work flawlessly together!
I may or may not be anOG?. Who's been talking? ?
Haha! I don't know what an OG is. I do know that trad and cloths are of no interest or use to me. Don't need or want either. ?

For me when i aquired enough regular, outside, low hassle work, any inside work became less attractive and a distraction to my working day...by all means take on as much work if you need it....but I can almost guarantee you ll pass on it when you have a full round...??

I did trad for 14 years and can tell you for an absolute fact that the karcher gives the same quality result.
As for taking forever, a quick swipe over with your applicator as you would with trad, then quick straight pulls, and one shiny conny roof without the drips going everywhere like they will with a squeegee ???

Green Pro recommended using a Karcher for internal conny roofs as well. If people with a combined 80+ years of experience between them says it works that would be good enough for me.

I used to use one when I had a batch of finance sector offices to do, it certainly helped minimise drips and a full charge would get me through two floors of the building. Unfortunately it was sat in my bucket in the van one day when there was a significant overfill incident. ? All the office work dried up so I never replaced it.

i have 2 karcher window vacs. i used them for the better part of a season and they are fine. the idea it would not be as good as a squeegee is absurb IT IS A SQUEEGEE!
i made an adapter so i could use it on a pole but that was pretty tricky.

I use one also although rarely do inside jobs nowadays.
Spare battery so it doesn't run out halfway through a job.
Never knew karcher wasn't a gimmicky tool, I've done 1000's of interior windows.

Firstly I always ask the customer to remove or move the furniture and ornaments etc. Cleaning the interior of a conservatory roof can be a good earner. Obviously it'll be more expensive than the exterior and you need to explain that to the customer too. I use the face lift trad pole with the moerman fliq pad set up. It's a very satisfying clean once you've finished, and the customer is usually amazed at how good it looks like new again. DON'T UNDERPRICE THIS SERVICE!
