Hi Tradman. Have you done a review on the Moerman Liquidator 3.0 channel yet? I'm still using the 2.0 Liquidator channels and the rubber slops and slides around in the channel etc. How much of an improvement is the 3.0 end clips etc? I like using the Moerman Soft rubber too.

@TradMan 2 года назад

Hey, it's only just become available at WCW so I've ordered them. Some places in the world seem to have had it for a while but just appeared here. I will be doing a video. Should get them today actually. I don't have issues with movement but I have unger green squeegee clips inserted in the ends to help.

@kevinwinskill3179 Год назад

What’s your view on the supermarket window pole with the glass soap cloth and blade attached to it together. I have been tempted to buy one but I don’t think it will do the same job and finish as your normal separate ones?

@TradMan Год назад

Professional tools will always leave a better result than supermarket window cleaning products. You get what you pay for in this scenario. Depends though if you intend it for Professional use or home use.

@chrisoakleyfx 2 года назад

I'm finding it very beneficial to learn and develop my technique with a traditional straight channel, but man does the Liquidator make it a breeze once you switch to it! Talking of detailing, Craig at Ionic was teaching us to squeegee with zero detailing using a traditional channel (i.e not a liquidator). He told us that the 'finger in the cloth' method as I call it should be avoided... the Liquidator solves this, but it was interesting to be taught how to do it with *any* squeegee. Need a lot more practice though!

@chrisoakleyfx 2 года назад

@andrewkendall7814 Год назад

If you are going to have to wipe the frame dry anyway, does it really matter if the edge of the glass is wet? I mean, is it not possible to wipe frame and 'detail' the glass at the same time?

@aranha9365 Год назад

When you have a lot of windows to do, that simple extra task can add loads of work, it is like climb a mountain, every gram on your gear that you can shave off, you should. I have tendinites on my wrist due this detailing, so yep, It does make difference in the long run.

@TradMan Год назад

Yes you can do that of course but detailing glass leaves the potential for smears. Using a zero detailing tool ensures the glass is perfect without the need to wipe it, leaving only the frames to dry off. 😁👍🏻 TM

@robertshepherd1179 Год назад

What size squeegees would u recommend that I need to carry on the job as I've recently just bought a unger ergotec 6 in 1 complete kit and it comes with a 14 inch squeegee and where would be the best place to purchase other squeegees and also unger green rubber. Does the unger green rubber come in soft and hard.

@TradMan Год назад

So it's good to have a few sizes. I carry a 16, 12, 6 inch for hand work. Basically a large, medium and small. 👍🏻 If your based in the UK, I mainly use window cleaning warehouse or window clean centre. Unger green rubber is a medium rubber. If you want unger rubber in soft or hard then you will need to purchase the black rubber as they have the option of soft or hard. Green is medium only 😊

@robertshepherd1179 Год назад

@@TradMan thanks for your help and lastly if hard rubber is for warmer weather and soft rubber is for colder weather does the medium rubber work in all weather

@TradMan Год назад

The medium rubber is a good all rounder. I've used it in cold and hot weather with good results. Personally I use unger green and nothing else now. It works very well and lasts for ages 😊

@TradMan Год назад

The clips put pressure on the corners of the rubber to help remove all the solution from the glass as normal squeeges leave solution behind at the edges 😊 If you would like one to one training all done online feel free to book a training session on www.tradmanacademy.com 😊

@MichaelBrianInc Год назад

Is the Moerman good for beginners? Love that it’s a precision type of squeegee. Anything to be more efficient without sacrificing quality is a go for me.

@TradMan Год назад

Yes it's actually people who have used other tools for years that find the precision tool hard to master. If you use it from the start, the way I have demonstrated you'll be flying 😊👍🏻

@MichaelBrianInc Год назад

@@TradMan Awesome and that’s what I thought. Beginners haven’t developed muscle memory or habits with tools yet so if starting with this I can imagine it wouldn’t be as challenging. This tool honestly just makes sense. Between the degree changes and not having to be so concerned with detailing it’s a win win. I also love your soap method. It doesn’t make windows look sloppy, the soap is always going to be consistent and you don’t have to worry about soap to water ratios. Whether a maintenance clean or an initial clean on a dirty window, customers will know for sure they’re getting clean. Plus the effect is magical lol. Literally goes from completely covered to this shiny and reflective piece of art for a window. Today, what are some good rubber choices for the price that match this squeegee? How is the Unger green rubbers? Many also use black diamond but I don’t think the round fits this.

@TradMan Год назад

Exactly 😊👍🏻 Good rubbers are... Unger green Ettore master Pulex My preference is Unger green. Its a great all rounder.

@MichaelBrianInc Год назад

@@TradMan cool. What sizes are good for storefront? 18”? Should there be any other sizes to have for that area of work?

@michaelhowell3336 2 года назад

Hi good info .any views on wagtail gear 🙄

@TradMan 2 года назад

I'm not a fan, feels and looks like a prototype. Compared to Unger and Moerman I've found it inferior and in need of redesigning. The washer on a wagtail is terrible, barely holds on to the squeegee and water retention is not good at all, the handle is not very comfortable to use either. So if your looking for a good squeegee, personally I wouldn't use wagtail, much better options out there these days. Hope that helps 👍🏻

personally i find new cleaners learn faster on the moerman. those experienced with old style squeegees do seem to have more trouble

@MichaelBrianInc Год назад

After watching this again, I noticed near the end you talk about employees and beginner levels.. For me I’d be a complete beginner. Never cleaned a window with a squeegee. As much as I want the Moerman setup to start, I’m wondering if it’s better to go with one of the Unger options. Cost wise which would be the better of the three? I’m looking to get a setup that will allow me to not struggle in the field much and can give me solid results out of the gate. I’m not in a situation where I have time to waste. It seems for a beginner even the Moerman will take some time to really learn the tool, so I’m wondering if maybe I should wait to upgrade once I’ve gotten started and am bringing in some income. What are your thoughts? And as always Peter, thank you for your time.

@TradMan Год назад

The unger ErgoTec is a good quality all rounder to get you started 😉 The moerman does require more skill and precision to use.

Hello, Peter McKay aka. Here is one of your subscribers who kindly requests your essential guidance: I'm a home user (not a professional like you) who wants to get things done right. I want to clean my bathroom shower glass after daily use (water, soap, body fat I guess, etc…), and unlike regular windows, these have hardware that makes it difficult for the Squeegee to pass through. So, my question is: what cleaning supplies and in what measurements do you recommend to carry out this task in a shower glass that measures 19 inches for the fixed glass and 27 for the door, both by 95 inches high? Here is a video of the glass: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cym4VFpaWd8.html Could you please guide me? Thank you so much! 😄

@TradMan 11 месяцев назад

Use some unger rub out and an abrasive pad to start. If that fails you may need a stronger chemical like crystal clear made by winsol.
