Jordie,
Your videos and skills/techniques are top tier, my friend.
Thank youš
Thatās very kind!
No prob man! Credit where credit is due. Always looking forward to your next video.
Wow Jordie, youāve got such sweet technique. Definitely looking forward to watching more of your videos. I think Iām gonna be learning a lot!
Thanks manš¶

Cheerio!
Ok, just watched the entire team technique series and wow. Jordie, this is just what Iāve been searching for since I started. Seriously, every newbie should watch your series before ever touching a squeegee. Your explanations are so good, I love how you named all the techniques and explained the real nuances while also demonstrating them slowly and the difference between using them and not using them. Superb!
I had been thinking how useful it would be to have a video explaining literal basics like the difference between lateral squeegee movement (traveling did you call it?) and perpendicular (power stroke) and then the in between type of stroke. Also, for the first time the over-under stroke makes senseā¦and digging out. And that chatter method is so cool. I also now feel better about multiple tappingā¦I had felt it was kinda ācheatingā if that makes sense, but itās just another tool in the arsenal.
Iām wondering, is there any way you could make a video where you explain what I call āvertical fanningā? I see people do this all the time for narrow, tall glass like doors. Every time I do the up stroke and then transition back to the downstroke I leave a mark, just like you showed happens if you turn the squeegee too sharply rather than in a smooth figure 8 when fanning the normal horizontal way. I think your nuanced explanation would help me finally get why that keeps happening.
(Oh and I liked your humming in the drive-thru video )
Are you saying that the squeegee bleeds a tiny line as it passes through the crest of the turn? Whenever that happens itās either cause your rubber is nicked or cause youāre pulling too much water and it is shunting itself off the end of your blade.
Have you seen Bobās recent video about this challenge with the LIQ 2.0?
Hmmmā¦itās kinda tough to put into words. I should try taking a picture to show what I mean. Itās driving me nuts though cause all of twice out of many attempts have i gotten it to work with no line and I donāt know what I did differently.
Try this: find a sliding door or some window that you can view from the opposite side while you reach around and clean it from behind. Watch what is actually happening underneath the blade and experiment with different movements to see how you can adjust and improve your technique.
Cool idea. I have a door I practice on at home that would be perfect for that.
Let me know how it goes.
Daniel,
You really just made my day. I really mean it. I was feeling down today and your kind words just truly lifted my spirits.
And yes, i know exactly what you are taking about with those skinny tall windows. Iāll do a video because they are wierd.
